Exposure to electric field (EF): Its palliative effect on some clinical symptoms in human patients

The palliative effect of electric field (EF) at 50-60 Hz, which are frequency bands for commercial application was evaluated on 55 different clinical symptoms identified by users of Healthtron (Model HES-30, Hakuju Institute for Health Science Co., Ltd., Tokyo, Japan), a putative therapeutic device

Research on Biological Responses Related to the Effects of Extremely Low Frequency Electric Fields

Abstract: A device named Healthtron approved in Japan by the Ministry of Health and Welfare 40 years ago that stimulates the human body by exposing it to an electric field has been produced and marketed ever since to alleviate complaints such as headaches, stiff neck, insomnia and chronic constipation.

Effects of Low-Frequency Electric Fields on the Intracellular Ca2+ Response Induced in Human Vascular Endothelial Cells by Vasoactive Substances

Human vascular endothelial cells (HUVEC) were exposed to air electric fields of 30 kV/m, 50 Hz for 24 hr. After exposure, the change in intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+];) induced by the vasoactive substances ATP and histamine were determined using confocal laser scanning microscopy.

Prolonged Ca2+ transients in ATP-stimulated endothelial cells exposed to 50 Hz electric fields

Human umbilical vein endothelial cells were exposed to sinusoidal electric fields of 0.3 or 30 kV/m, 50 Hz, for 24 h. Changes in intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]) induced by ATP-stimulation in the absence of extracellular Ca2+ were observed in individual cells.
