The history of tPEMF technology

1831
Michael Faraday, a British chemist and physicist, discovers electromagnetic induction.
1831
Michael Faraday, a British chemist and physicist, discovers electromagnetic induction.5
1898
Tesla publishes “The Electrical Engineer” and discusses invention of magnetic loop coil, still used today; led to magnetic strength being measured in Teslas (T).6
1950’s
Scientists begin serious research into PEMF therapy as a healing agent.7
1970
Arthur A. Pilla, PhD develops a relatively low-powered PEMF device – a bone growth stimulator (BGS) – to heal recalcitrant factures.8
1979
  • FDA provides premarket approval for a PEMF device for the healing of nonunion fractures.9
  • The Assisi LOOP’s patented signal targeting the upregulation of nitric oxide is developed by Dr. Arthur Pilla and clinically supported for treating non-healing fractures.10
1998
  • Additional clinical research is published on use of PEMF for treating urinary incontinence and muscle stimulation.11
  • The Nobel Prize for Medicine and Physiology is awarded to three American pharmacologists for their work on nitric oxide as a signaling molecule in the cardiovascular system.12
2004

Clinical research is published supporting the efficacy of PEMF therapy for cervical fusion patients at high-risk of non-fusion.13

2006

Clinical research is published supporting use of PEMF therapy for treatment of depression and anxiety.14

2008
The company Assisi Animal Health is born, incorporating Dr. Pilla’s technology into their portfolio of animal health products.
2008

The Assisi Loop is developed based upon clinical research for PEMF signal that reduces pain and edema.15

2011

A scientific review of research is published on the use of PEMF therapy in oncology.16

2013
Assisi Animal Health begins validating Assisi Loop tPEMF technology through clinical research studies, now compiled above.
2019

The Calmer Canine Anxiety Treatment System is unveiled, utilizing a unique tPEMF signal to reduce inflammation in the anxiety center of the brain.

2019
A Calmer Canine pilot study presented at the IVBM Conference in Washington, DC found significant improvement in anxiety, with half of owners reporting complete resolution of separation anxiety symptoms after six weeks of therapy.17
2021
A double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study found that Calmer Canine significantly reduces signs of separation anxiety.18
