The Effect of Extremely Low Frequency Electromagnetic Field on Weight Gain of Preterm Babies

This is an interim report of one-year randomized controlled trial study to investigate the effect of extremely low frequency electromagnetic field (ELF-EMF) on weight gain of the preterm babies. The ELF-EMF device operated at 7.83 Hz, which is known as the Schumann Resonance. After exposing to ELF-EMF for a week, both of the average body-weight gain and weight gain rate are improved. The results show that ELF-EMF has the potential to develop a new method for helping preterm babies.
