Magnetic Therapy and Parkinson's Disease; a pulsed magnetic therapy research bibliography.

Peer reviewed pulsed magnetic therapy research studying effects of non-invasive pulsed electromagnetic stimulation in Parkinson's disease is presented.
 
These studies prove many non-invasive, pulsed electromagnetic field therapies provide beneficial effects while significantly reducing some symptoms of Parkinson's disease. Unlike electroconvolsive therapy (ECT), these types of therapy lack detrimental side effects, expected or unexpected adverse reactions.

Several hundred pulsed electromagnetic field therapy citations contained in our research bibliographies are linked directly to PubMed a service of the U.S. National Library of Medicine and the U.S. National Institutes of Health.

These studies are offered for your education only and are not intended as promotional material for EarthPulse™ Technologies, LLC.

[Parkinson's disease and depression]
[Article in Japanese]
Kurokawa K, Yuasa T.
Department of Neurology, Kohnodai Hospital.
Up to 40% of cases of Parkinson's disease are associated with the occurrence of depression. The symptoms of the patients' depressive state may be factors such as significant weight change, insomnia or hypersomnia, psychomotor retardation, fatigue or loss of energy, feelings of worthlessness or inappropriate guilt, decreased concentration and indecisiveness, and recurrent thoughts of death or suicidal ideation. Given these conditions, drugs prove ineffective in many cases. Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) has been reported to be beneficial in cases of drug-resistant depression. ECT has also been applied to Parkinsonian patients with depression and found to be effective with both depression and the Parkinsonian symptom. Transcranial magnetic stimulation(TMS) has recently been investigated for application in cases of depression and has become known as a valuable tool for depression therapy. TMS is easily implemented even in outpatient therapy. TMS will make a great contribution to the therapy of depression with Parkinson's disease.
