Extracorporeal Magnetotransduction Therapy
Extracorporeal Magnetotransduction Therapy is a form of therapy for the treatment of chronic musculoskeletal diseases.
Applications include degenerative joint diseases, pain therapy and sports injuries. The effectiveness of EMTT has been proven in several clinical studies for individual indications.[1][2][3][4]
The therapy is a non-invasive, outpatient treatment solution in which painful body areas are treated with high-energy magnetic impulses. In EMTT, the magnetic field is typically generated by a weakly damped oscillating circuit. This consists of a coil and a capacitor, which is charged by a high voltage source with very high voltage. After the discharge of the capacitor, several kiloamperes of electric current flow through the coil and create a magnetic field. The amplitude and spatial distribution can be calculated using the Biot-Savart law. Due to the high frequency and the strong magnetic field, magnetic field gradients of 60,000 T/s up to 150,000 T/s are typically found in EMTT devices. Pulse repetition rates of several Hz are possible. Due to the very high oscillation frequency (100 - 300 kHz) EMTT differs from other general forms of magnetic field therapy or PEMF (pulsating magnetic field therapy).
