Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields Research on Improving Sleep

1. Bagnato GL, Miceli G, Marino N, Sciortino D, Bagnato GF. Pulsed electromagnetic fields in knee osteoarthritis: a double blind, placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trial. Rheumatology (Oxford). 2016;55(4):755-762. doi:10.1093/rheumatology/kev426
o Focus: Primarily pain-focused but includes sleep as a secondary outcome.
o Findings: PEMF (50 Hz, 1.5 mT) improved sleep quality scores (via Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, PSQI) alongside pain reduction in knee osteoarthritis patients (n=60), suggesting a sleep benefit tied to reduced discomfort.
2. Cajochen C, Pischinger G, Kräuchi K, Wirz-Justice A. Pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF) as a chronobiotic: effects on sleep latency and circadian rhythms. J Sleep Res. 2000;9(Suppl 1):32. doi:10.1046/j.1365-2869.2000.00032.x
o Focus: Examines PEMF as a chronobiotic to influence sleep onset and circadian timing.
o Findings: Low-frequency PEMF (0.1-10 Hz) reduced sleep latency by 15-20% in healthy subjects (n=24), potentially via melatonin pathway modulation, though effects were modest.

o Focus: Assesses PEMF specifically for insomnia treatment.
o Findings: PEMF (unspecified low frequency, 15-minute nightly sessions) improved sleep duration and reduced awakenings in insomnia patients (n=50) compared to sham, with 60% reporting better sleep quality.

o Focus: Investigates PEMF effects on sleep in chronic low back pain patients.
o Findings: PEMF (40 Hz, 2 mT, 30 min/day) significantly improved PSQI scores (mean reduction of 3.2 points, P

Painful toe after running? This is common after running a half or full marathon.

Some of this trauma can be prevented before running your race.
1. Cut your toe nail straight across to prevent an ingrown toenail on the sides.
2. Trimming an excessively long toenail will reduce the pressure on the toe nail during your race.
3. Wearing a heavy cushioning wool blend sock will reduce trauma and wick away moisture.

Post race care is important to keep you training.
1. Wash your feet with soap and water twice a day to reduce bacterial infection risk.
2. Trim the toenail straight across to reduce pressure.
3. Gently smooth the top edge of the toenail with a file to prevent catching and additional trauma.
4. Wear a wool blend sock to wick away moisture.
5. NEVER remove the toenail on your own. Go to your primary care provider or podiatrist to have this done. This is fairly routine for them. Messing up your toenail will negatively impact your running long term.

Keep running!
