Micrographia is one of the characteristic clinical signs of Parkinson's disease (PD) which is linked to striatal dopaminergic deficiency. It has been reported recently that external application of weak electromagnetic fields (EMFs) in the picotesla (pT) range and of low frequency produced dramatic improvements in motor symptoms in Parkinsonian patients indicating that a specific range of electromagnetic energy increases, among others, striatal dopaminergic neurotransmission. In the present communication, I present two fully mediated Parkinsonian patients who, prior to the application of EMFs, drew lilliputian sized figures reflecting the micrographia of the disease. In both patients a series of treatments with pT EMFs produced, in addition to improvement in motor symptoms, a dramatic increase in the size of their drawings with reversal of their micrographia. Since both patients were maintained on dopaminergic medications prior to and during treatment with EMFs it is suggested that Parkinsonian micrographia is related also to abnormalities of nondopaminergic systems which are affected by weak EMFs. This report corroborates previous observations demonstrating the powerful antiParkinsonian effect of pT range EMFs and highlights the unique efficacy of this treatment modality in Parkinsonism.
小写症是帕金森病（PD）的典型临床症状之一，与纹状体多巴胺能缺乏有关。最近有报道称，在皮特斯拉（pT）范围内施加微弱的电磁场（EMF）以及低频电磁场，可使帕金森病患者的运动症状得到显著改善，这表明特定范围的电磁能量可增加纹状体多巴胺能神经传递等。在本报告中，我介绍了两名完全处于药物介导状态的帕金森病患者，在施加电磁场之前，他们画出的小人像尺寸极小，反映出该病的小写症。在这两名患者中，一系列皮特斯拉电磁场治疗除了改善运动症状外，还使他们所画图形的尺寸显著增大，小写症得到逆转。由于这两名患者在电磁场治疗之前和治疗期间均持续服用多巴胺能药物，因此提示帕金森病小写症也与非多巴胺能系统异常有关，而这些系统会受到微弱电磁场的影响。本报告证实了先前的观察结果，即皮特斯拉范围的电磁场具有强大的抗帕金森病作用，并突出了这种治疗方式在帕金森病中的独特疗效。
