A prospective study of patients with post treatment Lyme disease syndrome treated with modified VFEM energy

Background We previously demonstrated a possible therapeutic benefit of VFEM (variable frequency electromagnetic energy) technology for the treatment of Post Treatment Lyme Disease Syndrome (PTLDS) or Chronic Lyme Disease (CLD). As a result, we prospectively enrolled 10 patients, all having significant debility, to determine to what extent we could improve their quality of life. Eight patients completed the 10 treatments. Results All eight patients had a significant improvement in quality of life within a 4‐month time frame. Conclusion VFEM is a stand‐alone modality that appears to demonstrate a significant improvement in quality of life in PTLDS or CLD with little or no risk or side effects of treatment.
