Cartilage protection in the treatment of osteoarthritis in the knee joints

Cartilage protection in the treatment of osteoarthritis in the knee joints using pulsed magnet therapy has been demonstrated in previous studies. However, the research team of M. Fini (2008) took this a step further and used an animal model to investigate whether this therapy would show similar effects in more advanced cases.

In this study, which addressed the issue, pulsed magnetic field stimulation significantly slowed lesion progression in all knee regions examined.

Pulsed magnetic field stimulation caused increased function of A2A and A3 adenosine receptors and thus a greater anti-inflammatory effect. In the vascular system, these receptors also dilate the blood vessels and help to improve blood circulation.

Thus, this study showed that even in the case of extensive lesions in the knee joints, pulsed magnet therapy is demonstrably effective and significantly slows the spread of osteoarthritis.
