摘要

电磁场引起的特发性环境不耐受症(IEI-EMF)是一种综合征,指的是报告因暴露于电磁场源而出现症状,但没有任何确定的潜在医学条件来解释这些症状的人。迄今为止,激发方案未能证明电磁场暴露与报告的症状之间存在一致的关系,这使一些研究人员和患有IEI-EMF的个人对这些方案与研究该综合征的相关性产生了疑问。为了解决这些批评,与患有IEI-EMF的个人合作,共同设计了一项激发协议。本研究介绍了测试结果,重点关注IEI-EMF志愿者的暴露感知和症状报告。共有47名IEI-EMF志愿者参加了一个开放场地的适应会议。其中,27名志愿者完成了第一次双盲控制暴露,而26名和16名志愿者分别参加了3次集体分析和12次个人水平分析。在个体水平上,除了一名志愿者的感知与暴露状态基本一致外,没有发现暴露感知确定性水平与暴露状态之间存在一致的关联。同样,症状报告与暴露状态不一致,除了同一名志愿者,其症状报告与暴露状态显示出边缘显著的结果。然而,对于一半的志愿者来说,症状报告与暴露感知确定性水平显著相关,支持反安慰剂假说。在集体水平上,暴露感知确定性水平、症状报告和暴露状态之间没有一致性。本研究讨论了未来激发协议的必要条件,以提高其相关性,可接受性和潜在的效用,在可能的护理导向方法中。它还考虑了对使用暴露感知和症状报告作为挑衅协议结果的批评,尽管它们在个体如何将自己识别为具有IEI-EMF的个体方面发挥了核心作用。

Exposure Perception and Symptom Reporting in Idiopathic Environmental Intolerance Attributed to Electromagnetic Fields Using a Co-Designed Provocation Test

Exposure Perception and Symptom Reporting in Idiopathic Environmental Intolerance Attributed to Electromagnetic Fields Using a Co-Designed Provocation Test

Idiopathic Environmental Intolerance Attributed to Electromagnetic Fields (IEI-EMF) is a syndrome that defines people who report symptoms that they attribute to their exposure to EMF sources, without any identified underlying medical condition to explain these symptoms. To date, provocation protocols have failed to demonstrate a consistent relationship between EMF exposure and reported symptoms, raising questions among some researchers and individuals with IEI-EMF about the relevance of these protocols for studying the syndrome. To address these criticisms, a provocation protocol was co-designed in collaboration with individuals with IEI-EMF. This study presents the results of the tests, with a focus on exposure perception and symptom reporting among IEI-EMF volunteers. A total of 47 IEI-EMF volunteers were enrolled and participated in an open-field habituation session. Of these, 27 completed the first double-blind controlled exposure session, while 26 and 16 volunteers, respectively, participated in three sessions for collective analyses and 12 sessions for individual-level analyses. At the individual level, no consistent association was found between exposure perception certainty level and exposure status, except for one volunteer whose perception was mostly consistent with exposure status. Similarly, symptom reporting did not align with exposure status, except for the same volunteer, whose symptom reporting showed a borderline significant result with exposure status. However, for half of the volunteers, symptom reporting was significantly correlated with exposure perception certainty level, supporting a nocebo hypothesis. At the collective level, no consistency was observed between exposure perception certainty level, symptom reporting, and exposure status. This study discusses the conditions necessary for future provocation protocols to enhance their relevance, acceptability, and potential utility in a possible care-oriented approach. It also considers criticisms of using exposure perception and symptom reporting as outcomes in provocation protocols, despite their central role in how individuals identify themselves as individuals with IEI-EMF.

期刊介绍: Bioelectromagnetics is published by Wiley-Liss, Inc., for the Bioelectromagnetics Society and is the official journal of the Bioelectromagnetics Society and the European Bioelectromagnetics Association. It is a peer-reviewed, internationally circulated scientific journal that specializes in reporting original data on biological effects and applications of electromagnetic fields that range in frequency from zero hertz (static fields) to the terahertz undulations and visible light. Both experimental and clinical data are of interest to the journal''s readers as are theoretical papers or reviews that offer novel insights into or criticism of contemporary concepts and theories of field-body interactions. The Bioelectromagnetics Society, which sponsors the journal, also welcomes experimental or clinical papers on the domains of sonic and ultrasonic radiation.
