An open-label, one-arm, dose-escalation study to evaluate safety and tolerability of extremely low frequency magnetic fields in acute ischemic stroke.

Abstract:

:Extremely low frequency magnetic fields (ELF-MF) could be an alternative neuroprotective approach for ischemic stroke because preclinical studies have demonstrated their effects on the mechanisms underlying ischemic damage. The purpose of this open-label, one arm, dose-escalation, exploratory study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of ELF-MF in patients with acute ischemic stroke. Within 48 hours from the stroke onset, patients started ELF-MF treatment, daily for 5 consecutive days. Clinical follow-up lasted 12 months. Brain MRI was performed before and 1 month after the treatment. The distribution of ELF-MF in the ischemic lesion was estimated by dosimetry. Six patients were stimulated, three for 45 min/day and three for 120 min/day. None of them reported adverse events. Clinical conditions improved in all the patients. Lesion size was reduced in one patient stimulated for 45 minutes and in all the patients stimulated for 120 minutes. Magnetic field intensity within the ischemic lesion was above 1 mT, the minimum value able to trigger a biological effect in preclinical studies. Our pilot study demonstrates that ELF-MF are safe and tolerable in acute stroke patients. A prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study will clarify whether ELF-MFs could represent a potential therapeutic approach.
