Extremely low frequency magnetic fields as neuroprotective treatment in acute ischemic stroke

Introduction and aims: Extremely low frequency magnetic fields (ELF-MF) could be an alternative neuroprotective approach for ischemic stroke because preclinical studies have demonstrated their effects on the mechanisms underlying ischemic damage. In this open-label, one arm, dose-escalation, exploratory study we evaluated the safety and tolerability of ELF-MF in acute ischemic stroke.
