“…A study by Gyulai et al [21] in 2015 found that BEMER therapy reduced fatigue and pain intensity in the short term for CLBP patients. Moreover, Park et al [25] in 2014 reported a significant decrease in pain intensity (p<0.05) and functional disability (p<0.01) in the PEMF group compared with the control group, but no significant difference in depression (p=0.850) [25], similar to the present study. Omar et al [10] in 2012 reported a significant difference between the PEMF treatment group and placebo group before and after application of PEMF in pain intensity, functional disability, and sleep quality (p=0.024, p<0.001, and p<0.001, respectively) [10].…”

“…All the mentioned studies reported a decrease in pain intensity compared to the baseline, with a mean difference in pain intensity from baseline to the endpoint from 21 to 64 points out of 100 on the VAS [36]. Moreover, the studies on discogenic lumbar radiculopathy and lumbar myalgia showed a large effect size [34,35]. In addition, no differences in such improvement between the PEMS-treated group and the sham group were found in one of the studies [21].…”

“…However, the SF-12 tool was developed as an abbreviated version of the SF-36, containing a subset of 12 identical questions embedded in the SF-36 eight constructs [41]. In this sense, Park et al [35] reported significant improvements in SF-36 prior to and following treatment in lumbar myalgia patients and no significant difference between the PEMS-treated group and the group receiving sham treatment. For these reasons, it was assumed that there was no significant difference between the two groups following the treatment [35].…”

“…Although PEMF therapy has been reported effective as an adjunctive therapy for postoperative pain and edema following other types of surgeries, to our knowledge this is the first study of this size evaluating its efficacy for persistent pain following back surgery. A 2014 report 29 found PEMF therapy effective at reducing back pain in a population of subjects with persistent lumbar muscle pain, reporting a significant reduction in pain in subjects receiving PEMF therapy but not in sham-device–treated subjects. Although the study excluded subjects who had prior spinal surgery, as well as those with radicular pain, the improvement in back pain reported in the study is comparable to the results of the current study.…”
