Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields for Postoperative Pain: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial in Patients Undergoing Mandibular Third Molar Extraction
Initiatives
-
The aim of this randomized clinical trial was to assess the clinical efficacy of PEMF therapy delivered through a wearable device in terms of postoperative pain and quality of healing after mandibular third molar extraction (chosen as a good model of postoperative pain for the purpose of studying its analgesic efficacy).
