A multiphase study was performed to find an effective method to evaluate electromagnetic field sensitivity of patients.
1) The first phase developed criteria for controlled testing.
2) A second phase involved a challenge of 100 patients who complained of electromagnetic field sensitivity to a series of electromagnetic fields ranging from 0 to 5 MHz in frequency, plus 5 blank challenges (sham exposure). 25 patients were sensitive to the electromagnetic fields, but did not react to the sham exposure. These were compared in the
3rd phase to 25 healthy naive volunteer controls.
4) 16 electromagnetic field-sensitive patients were rechallenged twice to the frequencies to which they were most sensitive during the previous challenge.

Sham exposure | A sham exposure was conducted. |
1) Monitoring devices were used to ensure that extraneous electromagnetic fields would not interfere with the tests.
2) 25 patients were sensitive to the electromagnetic fields, but did not react to the sham exposure. These patients were compared to healthy naive volunteer controls (third phase). None of the volunteers reacted to any challenge, i.e. exposure or sham exposure, but 16 of the electromagnetic field-sensitive patients had positive signs and symptoms, plus autonomic nervous system changes.
4) The active frequency (exposure) was found to be positive in 100 % of the challenges, while all of the placebo tests were negative.
The authors conclude that the data give strong evidence that electromagnetic field sensitivity exists, and can be elicited under environmentally controlled conditions. Further studies are needed to investigate the effects of electromagnetic fields on human health.
