This is a prospective longitudinal single-center clinical study on pain patients treated with Low Frequency High Intensity- Pulsed Magnetic Fields (LF-HI-PEMF; diamagnetic therapy) . Patients were enrolled at baseline (T0) and then were monitored at 30 days (T1), 60 days (T2), 90 days (T3). and 360 days (T4). The first efficacy end-point was the statistically significant difference (P\<0.05) in VAS scale between T2-T4 and T0.
