Effects of Pulsed Magnetic Field Stimulus on Electroencephalogram Alpha Activity

We investigated the effects of pulsed magnetic field (pMF) stimulus on electroencephalogram alpha activity when applied for various durations at the PC9 and/or HT9 acupoints. The maximum increase in alpha activity occurred after the stimulus was applied to the acupoints for 3 min. It can be concluded that pMF stimulus can be used in an alternative noninvasive acupuncture therapy, in which correct pMF stimulus induces a relaxed mental state.
