This systematic review covered 16 studies of PEMF for intervertebral disc degeneration, including lab, animal, and four clinical randomized trials. Lab and animal work showed effects on inflammation and disc structure, and clinical studies reported PEMF as safe with potential benefits for pain, function, and mobility, especially alongside physiotherapy. The authors conclude current evidence is not yet sufficient for clinical recommendations and call for standardized, longer-term trials.
