Prolongation of the results of the neurological test called visual evoked potential (VEP) latencies has been demonstrated as a diagnostic in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) and in other neurodegenerative disorders including Parkinson's disease (PD). PD is characterized by deficient cerebral dopamine (DA) functions. The author summarized 3 cases in which weak EMF stimuli increased the amplitude of VEPs and, by inference, were presumed to increase cerebral DA levels in patients with PD. EMF stimuli were applied extracranially to 3 male PD patients, 50, 69, and 72 yr old, with an electromagnetic stimulator. Based on the present findings and the results of previous pharmacological and biochemical studies showing a positive correlation between cerebral DA concentrations and VEP amplitudes, the author inferred that very-weak extracranial EMF stimulation increased cerebral dopamine levels. The increase in VEP amplitudes also supports clinical observations that extracranial EMF stimulation can ameliorate motor and cognitive symptoms in PD. [BENER 15139]
