PEMF and HRV Recovery After Physical Strain: RCT
Grade C+Randomized controlled trial2007
What did this study find?
This 2007 randomized trial measured heart rate variability recovery after physical strain in participants treated with pulsed electromagnetic fields. Short-term variability returned toward baseline faster in the treated group. The outcome is a physiological recovery marker rather than a performance or health endpoint, and the study was small.

A positive PEMF study is not evidence for a specific device unless the signal parameters studied, frequency, intensity, waveform, and exposure duration, are reasonably comparable to what that device produces. Where this record does not list those parameters, the source report did not publish them. See the grading methodology. Library last reviewed 2026-08-27.
