Abstract
Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) treatment is a non-invasive modality
that uses low-frequency electromagnetic waves to stimulate cells and
tissues in the body. When given as full body treatment, it has shown
positive results in chronic back pain. Transcranial usage of PEMF has
previously been explored for management of treatment resistant
depression (TRD).
We report a patient of TRD where full body PEMF was used for chronic
back pain. At the end of three weeks treatment, patient showed
significant improvement in his symptoms of chronic back pain and
surprisingly also reported reduced symptoms of co-existent TRD.
Key clinical message: Full body PEMF maybe administered in
patients of TRD with CBP for beneficial effects in both clinical
conditions
