Pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) stimulation was evaluated after anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) procedures in a randomized, controlled clinical study performed for United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval. PEMF significantly increased fusion rates at six months, but 12-month fusion outcomes for subjects at elevated risk for pseudoarthrosis were not thoroughly reported. The objective of the current study was to evaluate the effect of PEMF treatment on subjects at increased risk for pseudoarthrosis after ACDF procedures.

脉冲电磁场​​刺激可以提高高危人群颈椎关节融合术的融合率。


在一项经美国食品和药物管理局 (FDA) 批准进行的随机对照临床研究中，在前路颈椎间盘切除融合术 (ACDF) 术后对脉冲电磁场​​ (PEMF) 刺激进行了评估。 PEMF 显着提高了 6 个月时的融合率，但假关节风险较高的受试者的 12 个月融合结果尚未得到完整报道。本研究的目的是评估 PEMF 治疗对 ACDF 手术后假关节风险增加的受试者的影响。
