The PEMF devices used are the Scientific Consciousness Interface Operations (SCIO) device; it is CE-marked, ISO certified and FDA classified as a Type II medical device. The device measures frequencies emitted by the patient as a Biofeedback tool, and then emits frequencies in square (50% duty cycle), sinus or sawtooth wave form.~Wave forms, frequencies (herz and kiloherz respectively), ampers and voltage are adjusted automatically using the in-built Artificial Intelligence of the software employed to control the SCIO machine. The maximum is 5 Direct Current volts.~Electrodes to both read and emit signals are placed on the forehead, wrists and ankles. Irregular frequencies are corrected by use of entrainment. Efficacy of entrainment is displayed in the software as a percentage between 0-100. A rectification level or entrainment result of 85-100% is considered successful treatment, that is, entrainment was as effective as possible for that one session.~PEMF therapy has already been shown to be effective in trauma, PTSD, anxiety and depression treatment. The University of Denmark have recently conducted a similar clinical trial, which investigated Transcranial Direct Current Electro-Magnetic Therapy for patients who were treatment-resistant to depression medication. This study was also a one-arm test. This test was conducted over the space of 8 weeks and involved 52 participants of mixed gender. All the results indicated a reduction in depression-related symptoms in different ways, using the Hamilton Depression Scale as a reference point. The baseline of the Hamilton Depression Scale dropped from 20.6 to 12.6, whilst 49 participants experienced a reduction of over 50% on the Hamilton Depression Scale. Their study concluded that Transcranial Electro-Magnetic Therapy was a beneficial treatment for treatment-resistant depression, and further studies should be conducted to highlight the potential benefits of similar treatments.~This pilot study does not make use of a placebo, no double-blind, and no control group. The aim of this pilot study is two-fold: Firstly to determine whether a lower total amount of sessions would be effective (namely twice weekly rather than five days a week over the course of three weeks); secondly, whether the setup and process of this pilot study can function at scale (multiple locations and relatively little training time required by therapists due to the artificial intelligence built into the software guiding the machine).
Use of low-voltage, direct current pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF) in treating Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), complex PTSD (cPTSD) and trauma-related injuries manifesting in physical and/or mental symptoms.
