Peripheral nerve section and suture was performed in 132 rats. Postoperatively half the animals were exposed to a pulsed electromagnetic field each day and half were kept as controls. Nerve conduction studies, histology and nerve fibre counts all indicated an increased rate of regeneration in the treated animals. A similar controlled study of spinal cord regeneration following hemicordotomy in cats has been started, and preliminary results indicate that when the animals are sacrificed three months after the hemicordotomy, the pulsed electromagnetic therapy has induced nerve fibre regeneration across the region of the scar.
对132只大鼠进行了外周神经切断和缝合手术。术后，每天让一半的动物暴露于脉冲电磁场中，另一半作为对照。神经传导研究、组织学检查和神经纤维计数均表明，接受治疗的动物的神经再生速度有所提高。一项关于猫脊髓半切术后脊髓再生的类似对照研究已经启动，初步结果表明，在脊髓半切术后三个月处死动物时，脉冲电磁疗法已诱导神经纤维在瘢痕区域再生。
