Abstract: A collective (8 men, 8 women) with 17 characteristic diseases of the musculo-skeletal system was nearly exclusively treated with weak pulsed magnetic fields produced by small batery-operated device. The patients (age on average 53,1 years) were treated between 11 and 132 days without any further application of analgetics, the use of the magnetic fields took place as near to the aching areas as possible. The frequencies respectively the field strenghts were fixed individually between 2 and 24 Hz respectively 2,52 and 8,72 uT with rectangular pulse form, the duration of use varied between twice four hours per week and continous application. The success of the therapy was classified by means of the "dole scale" (10 grades) based on medical ration into the classes "improved" and "not improved". The evaluation according to the non-parametric test-methods. "Sequential-Range-Test" and "Maximum"-Test proved a significant respectively a highly significant (p<0,001) pain-reduction. The "chi"-test as a parametric procedure resulted in a highly significant alleviation (p<0.01) of pain. In order to incrase the objectiveness and to confirm the successes of that kind of magnetic field therapy, further treatments are carried out meanwhile.
