Influence of magnetic field parameters on therapy outcomes in patients with rheumatoid arthritis – preliminary study

Abstract

Introduction: Magnetic field is used in therapies designed for patients with rheumatic disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The question of selecting adequate treatment parameters to obtain optimal therapeutic effects still needs to be answered. The purpose of the study was to assess the influence of magnetic field, depending on its nature, on problems and dysfunctions experienced in upper limbs by patients with RA.
