Increasing evidence suggests that an exogenous electromagnetic field might be involved in many biologic processes which are of great importance for therapeutic interventions. Pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMFs) are known to be a noninvasive, safe and effective therapy agent without apparent side effects. Numerous studies have shown that PEMFs possess the potential to become a stand-alone or adjunctive treatment modality for treating musculoskeletal disorders. However, several issues remain unresolved. Prior to their widely clinical application, further researches from well-designed, high-quality studies are still required to standardize the treatment parameters and derive the optimal protocol for health-care decision making. In this review, we aim to provide current evidence on the mechanism of action, clinical applications, and controversies of PEMFs in musculoskeletal disorders.
越来越多的证据表明，外源性电磁场可能参与许多对治疗干预至关重要的生物学过程。脉冲电磁场（PEMFs）是一种已知的非侵入性、安全有效的治疗剂，没有明显的副作用。大量研究表明，PEMFs 具有成为治疗肌肉骨骼疾病的独立或辅助治疗方式的潜力。然而，仍有一些问题尚未解决。在广泛应用于临床之前，还需要进行更多设计良好、高质量的研究，以规范治疗参数，并为医疗保健决策制定最佳方案。在这篇综述中，我们旨在提供关于 PEMFs 在肌肉骨骼疾病中的作用机制、临床应用和争议的最新证据。
