A double Blind Cross-Over Study carried out by Jian Zhang M.Sc., Douglas Clement M.D. and Jack Taunton M.D. at the Allan McGavin Sports Medicine Centre, Division of Sports Medicine School of Human Kinetics and Department of Family Practice, at the University of British Columbia.
To determine the effect of Farabloc, a fabric with electromagnetic shielding properties, in attenuating the symptoms, signs and muscular strength of delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) induced by two exposures to eccentric exercise in human subjects.
Repeated Measure Analysis of Variance was carried out for each of seven variables assessing fabric, order, time and all combinations VAS, EST, MDA, CPK, Mb, WBC and Neutral, all show highly significant fabric effect supporting the hypothesis of a difference between Farabloc and placebo groups.
This analysis shows that the order of Farabloc or placebo fabric use in stage 1 and 2 produces different results. This may be caused by training or learning effect but did not alter the overall influence of Farabloc
Farabloc shields high frequency electromagnetic fields thereby may reduce cellular excitability via increased cell membrane electric potential and reduced ionic pore activity plus suppressing free radical formation by inhibition of iron containing enzymes limiting the potential cascade of lipid peroxidation and inflammation in DOMS

The objective was to examine the evidence to determine the optimal management of phantom limb pain in the preoperative and postoperative phase of amputations.
Trials were identified by a systematic search of MEDLINE, review articles, and references of relevant trials from the period 1966–1999, including only English-language articles. Included trials involved a control group, any intervention, and reported phantom pain as an outcome.

The implications of this systematic review for clinical
practice are problematic. In early PLP (<2 weeks postoperatively),
no treatments are clearly more effective
than administration of opioid analgesics. Thus, clinicians
could decide to use opioid analgesics at a dose that
should offer adequate pain relief with an acceptable level
of risk of adverse effects. For late PLP (>2 weeks postoperatively),
there is some evidence suggesting consideration
of Farabloc. It is unclear how readily regimens
suggested for other neuropathic pain states can be applied
to patients with PLP.

A clinical study undertaken by the University of British Columbia (1990
-- 1992)
Contract ordered by the British Columbia Ministry of Health.
The study was carried out by Tali A. Conine, DHSc, PT: Cecil Hershler, MD,
pH, FRCP; Stacey A Alexander, B.Sc., PT and Robert Crisp, B.Sc., PT. With
the assistance of Mr. Wayne Jones, statistical analyst, and Ms. Salima Jeraj,
research assistant.
Over 60% of the patients studied reported their greatest pain relief using a Farabloc blanket or garment.
