Ivivi's PEMF Technology Significantly Improves Neuron Survival in Parkinson's Disease Model, Study Finds

Business Wire
Proprietary Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) technology,
developed by Ivivi Technologies, Inc. (AMEX:II), improved neuron
survival in a standard animal cell model of brain inflammation,
researchers reported today in a platform presentation at the
Bioelectromagnetics Society (BEMS,
http://www.bioelectromagnetics.org) Annual Meeting, in Kanazawa,
Japan. Inflammation is associated with neuron death that occurs in
Parkinson�s disease and other neurodegenerative conditions in
humans. The preliminary data, from studies conducted by Dr. Diana
Casper, neurobiologist at Albert Einstein College of Medicine (NY),
indicates that certain PEMF therapies could be neuroprotective.
�Dopaminergic neurons, which die in Parkinson�s disease, are
clearly susceptible to inflammation,� said Dr. Diana Casper. �If we
could keep sufficient numbers of them alive, we possibly could keep
patients from exhibiting the symptoms associated with Parkinson�s.
In this model, PEMF signals appeared to both reduce levels of
inflammation as well as protect neurons from inflammatory effects.�
�Dr. Casper�s work demonstrated that our PEMF signals doubled
neuron survival in cultures that were subjected to
inflammation-creating chemical insult,� commented Sean Hagberg,
Ph.D., Chief Science Officer, Ivivi Technologies. �While the
primary pathological events in neurodegenerative conditions such as
Parkinson�s disease are still unknown, the potential to delay or
prevent the death of dopaminergic neurons could provide new
opportunities for Ivivi.� Andre� DiMino, Co-CEO, Ivivi Technologies
noted, �This neurological study confirms our commitment to develop
innovative, non-invasive and non-pharmacologic electrotherapies,
targeting fundamental disease processes common to many of the most
debilitating and challenging illnesses. Our mission is to expand
applications of our proprietary electrotherapeutic technologies as
we intend to continue to develop our technology for this and other
areas.� About Ivivi Technologies, Inc. Based in Northvale, NJ,
Ivivi Technologies, Inc. is a medical technology company focusing
on designing, developing and commercializing its proprietary
electrotherapeutic technology platform. Ivivi�s research and
development activities are focused specifically on pulsed
electromagnetic field, or PEMF, technology, which, by creating a
therapeutic electrical current in injured soft tissue, stimulates
biochemical and physiological healing processes to help repair the
injured tissue and reduce related pain and inflammation. The
