Strange to talk about this without mentioning Robert Becker, "The Body Electric".<p>For many decades it was effectively forbidden to publish anything about effects of electric fields and currents on living systems, on pain of losing access to grants and lab space. Becker had a unique arrangement with the US Veterans' Administration to study limb regeneration, and was able to sidestep the restrictions. It was sort of permitted in veterinary medicine, too, so that e.g. racehorses could get bone fracture healing acceleration.<p>In 1987 I attended a talk by an American researcher presenting in Szeged, Hungary, results growing beetle larvae 4x larger than normal through electromagnetic stimulation. She couldn't present at American conferences.<p>I never figured out, exactly, who enforced the restriction, or how, but got the impression it was connected in some way with protecting power distribution system and/or broadcast operators from liability.<p>So for all this time, the only effect that was allowed to be acknowledged was heating, microwave-oven style.
Is RTMS a related process or is that in a separate category.I participated in an study that attempted to treat TBI using rtms.
