The study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of Bio-Electro-Magnetic-Energy-Regulation (BEMER) magneto-therapy on pain and functional outcome in complex regional pain syndrome type I (CRPS-I). We hypothesized that BEMER therapy, based on its declared effects on microcirculation, could be beneficial in the treatment of this condition. This was a randomized controlled double-blind pilot study that included 30 patients with CRPS-I. Patients were divided into two groups: a study group, in which the rehabilitation program was combined with BEMER therapy for 10 consecutive days, and a control group, in which the rehabilitation program was combined with a sham BEMER treatment. Outcome measures (Visual Analogic Scale pain; Hand Grip Strength; Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand ; Maryland Foot Score) were taken at the beginning and end of treatment, and at 1 month follow-up. The study demonstrated that the group treated with BEMER combined with rehabilitation yielded better results in the short term, in terms of pain reduction and functional improvement both at the upper and lower limbs. Data from the present pilot study suggest that BEMER therapy can be indicated, in combination with traditional rehabilitation programs, for the treatment of CRPS-I.
本研究旨在评估生物电磁能调节(BEMER)磁疗对复杂性区域疼痛综合征 I 型(CRPS-I)疼痛和功能结果的疗效。我们假设,基于其对微循环的宣称作用,BEMER 治疗可能对该病症的治疗有益。这是一项随机对照双盲试点研究,纳入了 30 例 CRPS-I 患者。患者分为两组:研究组,康复计划结合 BEMER 治疗,连续 10 天;对照组,康复计划结合 sham BEMER 治疗。治疗开始和结束时以及 1 个月随访时测量了(视觉模拟评分疼痛;手握力;上肢、肩和手残疾问卷;马里兰足部评分)。研究表明,在短期治疗中,与单独康复治疗相比,联合 BEMER 治疗的组在减轻疼痛和改善上肢和下肢功能方面的效果更好。本试点研究的数据表明,BEMER 治疗可与传统康复计划结合使用,用于治疗 CRPS-I。
