Abstract:

Search and development of new physiotherapeutic technologies of regenerative medicine for the treatment of patients with different diseases is an urgent task of modern medicine.

OBJECTIVE

To analyze scientific data on the effectiveness of the peripheral magnetic stimulation (PMS) application in patients with different diseases.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

An analysis of publications in databases of electronic resources (PEDro, PubMed, Embase, eLibrary, Cochrane Library) over the past 20 years was carried out, the results of PMS application in patients with different nosologies were presented.

RESULTS

The majority of the presented articles confirm the clinical effectiveness of PMS application mainly in patients with diseases of the nervous system, spine and genitourinary system.

CONCLUSION

Further research to confirm the effectiveness of the therapeutic impact of magnetic stimulation in patients with other nosologies is needed.

Keywords:

peripheral magnetic stimulation

hardware physiotherapy

neurological diseases

diseases of the genitourinary system
