The involvement of cutaneous receptors in the biological effects of electromagnetic millimeter waves
The involvement of peripheral nerve terminations in the mechanisms of action of electromagnetic millimeter waves (mmW) was assessed. It is currently thought that mmW could be used in noninvasive complementary therapy because of their analgesic effect. However, the mechanisms of their antino...

| description | The involvement of peripheral nerve terminations in the mechanisms of action
of electromagnetic millimeter waves (mmW) was assessed. It is currently
thought that mmW could be used in noninvasive complementary therapy because
of their analgesic effect. However, the mechanisms of their antinociceptive
effect and non-ionizing radiation are the subjects of controversy. The
mechanisms of interaction of mmW and the cutaneous tissue have not been
elucidated. We observed mast cell degranulation at the place of mmW action, a
decrease of chronaxie and Turck reflex time, an increase in the number of
afferent impulses after sciatic nerve at stimulation, as well as an increase
electrocardiogram R-R interval of isolated frog heart after application of
mmW. Based on these investigations, we propose that electromagnetic waves of
millimeter length modify, through indirect mechanisms, the excitability and
reactivity of peripheral nerve terminations. |
