Background: The effect of pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMFs) on bone formation and remodeling has been evaluated in several studies in the last 30 years, but the results of these studies have been equivocal. Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of PEMFs on bone mineral density (BMD) and the biochemical markers of bone turnover in patients with postmenopausal osteoporosis.
