Study Details

We sought direct evidence that acute exposure to environmental-strength electromagnetic fields (EMFs) could induce somatic reactions (EMF hypersensitivity).

The subject, a female physician self-diagnosed with EMF hypersensitivity, was exposed to an average ...

In a double-blinded EMF provocation procedure specifically designed to minimize unintentional sensor...

EMF hypersensitivity can occur as a bona fide environmentally inducible neurological syndrome.
