Behandlung der Schuppenflechte mit Interferenzstrom Elektromagnetische Therapie auf neuen Wegen

Zusammenfassung

Wir berichten zunächst über die klinisch erfolgreiche Therapie der Psoriasis mit Interferenzstrom, einer Stromform, die traditionell in der Physiotherapie Anwendung findet. Zielmolekül der Behandlung ist das zyklische AMP. Auf der Grundlage von Ergebnissen mit Zellen, die in vitro behandelt wurden, wird gezeigt, dass die Menge dieses zellulären Botenstoffes bei bestimmten Modulationsfrequenzen des Interferenzstroms hoch reguliert werden kann. Interessante Perspektiven für eine Ausdehnung elektromagnetischer Therapien auf andere Krankheitsbilder ergeben sich aus neueren Publikationen. Wir geben einen kurzen Überblick über Ergebnisse von Untersuchungen in vitro und an Tiermodellen, die zeigen, dass insbesondere magnetische Wechsel- oder Pulsfelder Prozesse wie Angiogenese, Chaperon-Induktion oder neuronale Differenzierung stimulieren können.

Abstract

We report on the clinically successful therapy of psoriasis with Interferential Current, a wave form traditionally applied in physiotherapy. The therapeutic strategy focusses on cyclic AMP as target molecule. Based on results with cells exposed in vitro it is shown that the amount of this cellular messenger can be upregulated at specific modulation frequencies of Interferential Current. Interesting perspectives for extending electromagnetic therapy to other diseases emerge from recent publications. We provide a short review of results from investigations in vitro and on animal models which show that, in particular alternating or pulsed magnetic fields, may stimulate processes like angiogenesis, chaperon induction and neuronal differentiation.
