Pulsed electromagnetic fields to prevent muscle loss in hospital
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether pulsed electromagnetic fields can help prevent muscle loss and weakness in patients with blood cancer who are in the hospital for a long time. It is for patients starting chemotherapy for acute leukemia or getting a stem cell transplant.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are able to walk on your own and can do a short physical test.
- You are not pregnant (if you are a healthy volunteer).

This trial tests whether pulsed electromagnetic field therapy can improve how well athletes perform and recover. It may help if you are an active person who works out regularly and competes in events.
This study tests whether pulsed electromagnetic field therapy can help prevent or reverse muscle loss and weakness caused by hormone therapy (ADT) for prostate cancer. The treatment is non-invasive and may help you stay stronger during your cancer care.
This trial studies whether pulse electromagnetic field therapy can improve signs of reduced blood flow to the heart (ischemia) in people who cannot or will not get a coronary procedure during the study. If you already take standard heart medicines, you may be eligible to add this therapy and undergo exercise testing and heart imaging.
This trial tests a new way to treat breast cancer that has spread to the skin or just under the skin. It uses short electric pulses to target tumors without cutting. The goal is to see if this approach can safely destroy cancer cells in those spots.
This trial tests whether using small electrical pads on the legs can help keep muscle strength in patients who are on ECMO, a machine that helps the heart and lungs. It aims to see if this treatment can prevent muscle loss during recovery.
This trial tests whether daily, long-term use of pulsed electromagnetic fields applied to the head can help reduce Parkinson's symptoms. It is for people with mild to moderate Parkinson's who are not on certain blood thinners and have no major health complications like other neurological diseases or active implants.
