  • LFMS produces rapid mood elevation in bipolar and major depression, sometimes immediate, sometimes cumulative, with greater effects in unmedicated patients.

    “In depression, LFMS produced rapid mood elevation in bipolar and major depression, sometimes immediate, sometimes cumulative, with greater effects in unmedicated patients [142,143,144,145].”

    From The Heart’s Electromagnetic Field in Emotions, Empathy and Human Connection: Biosensor-Derived Insights into Heart–Brain Axis Mechanisms and a Basis for Novel BioMagnetoTherapies (2026) · cites this paper as [143]

    In the main text (page not provided), the paper reports mood improvement immediately after one LFMS treatment in a combined group with bipolar depression or major depressive disorder. It does not report cumulative effects or greater effects in unmedicated patients; it says later assessments were not made. It also notes that significant effects differed between the two diagnostic subgroups. (LLM, conf=0.88)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
