Interventions and Outcome Measures

Arms

experimental: Pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy

A portable PEMF device will be utilized. For the PEMF group, the device includes adjustable magnetic field strength range (X-axis: 0.22±0.05 mT, Y-axis: 0.20±0.05 mT and Z-axis: 0.06±0.02 mT) and working frequency (30±3Hz). This magnetic strength range and frequency will be maintained during 180 days of the study period. The subjects will be instructed to use their device three times per day: providing micromagnetic emitting on both hands (palms) during morning, afternoon and evening/night sessions. Each session takes 16 min (both hands, 8 min per hand) and thus subjects are exposed to therapy for 48 min per day. Subjects will use the device as outlined continuously up through the final days of testing.

sham comparator: Sham PEMF therapy

The sham PEMF devices are modified to deliver no micromagnetic field when turned on. The subjects will be instructed to use their device three times per day: providing micromagnetic emitting on both hands (palms) during morning, afternoon and evening/night sessions. Each session takes 16 min (both hands, 8 min per hand) and thus subjects are exposed to therapy for 48 min per day. Subjects will use the device as outlined continuously up through the final days of testing.

Interventions

Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (PEMF)

Pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy is a noninvasive technique, which provides low field electromagnetic stimulation. The therapy of PEMF is achieved by altering biological and physiological systems via low energy and non-ionizing electromagnetic fields.

Inactive Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (PEMF)

PEMF device that turns on but does not provide any electromagnetic stimulation

Primary outcome measure

  • Myocardial blood flow during chemical stress [ Time Frame: change from baseline to post 6 months treatment ]
