Abstract     Effect of pulsating high-frequency electromagnetic field (PEMF) was tested to low back pain (to turn in the bed, to stand up of bed, to walking) in 21 patients after lumber disectomy. Subjective pain is graded from 0 to 4 points. Also, there was analysed simultaneously using nonsteroidal antiphologistic (NSA) or analgesic drugs (regularly, periodically, out of drugs).
