Research notes
Recent studies, explained for patients
Each note takes one recent publication, reads it from its original abstract on PubMed and explains what it found, what it does not say and which of the clinic’s therapies it relates to.
- Pulsed electromagnetic fields for thumb arthritis: what a double-blind trial found A trial with 61 people compared a PEMF device with an identical one that emitted nothing. At 4 weeks, the study’s main measure, both groups had improved equally. At 6 weeks, the PEMF group had less pain.
- The Mediterranean diet lowered three inflammation markers across 33 clinical trials A meta-analysis published in September 2026 pooled 33 randomized trials with 3,476 adults. On a Mediterranean diet, hs-CRP, IL-6 and IL-17 went down. Four other markers did not move.
