Osteoarthritis Overview

Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis – It is a progressive disorder of the joints involving degeneration of the intra-articular cartilage, joint lining, ligaments, and bone.
Causes: Mostly hereditary. Also due to Wear and tear and overuse/stress caused by age, heredity, being overweight, occupational hazards, sedentary lifestyle, injuries, etc.

Symptoms

Mild

stiffness and pain while getting up in the morning. Difficulty and pain during prolonged exertion
Symptoms-Joints pain when they are stiff and painful to move
Reasons-Cartilage near the ends of bones starts to thin out.
Treatment-Rest and exercises to some extent

Moderate

Difficulty in walking up and down the stairs. Pain on getting up after prolonged sitting
Symptoms-Acute pain arises while bending the knee
Reasons-The joint cartilage is diseased and damaged
Treatment-Patients begins to take medications, physiotherapy

Severe

Symptoms-pain at rest and sleep disturbance because of pain at night
Symptoms-Chronic pain
Reasons-Joint cartilage is almost completely worn out
Treatment-Patient is recommended for a TKR
Globally, of the 291 health conditions, knee and hip OA was ranked as the 11th highest contributor to global disability and 38th highest in DALYs. YLDs for hip and knee OA increased from 10.5 Mn in 1990 to 18.1 Mn in 2012

Osteoarthritis Treatment

There was no permanent cure for OA – Treatment ranges from physiotherapy to surgery depending on severity and efficacy gauged by certain metrics

SPMF technology break-through use of Sequentially programmed Electromagnetic fields has been proven in improving Total Knee Functional Score by regeneration of cartilage first in the world

Clinical Features

Dull aching pain in affected joints getting worse after activity.
Morning stiffness lasting less than half hour.
Difficulty in climbing up & down stairs.
Difficulty to kneel, getup from chair, getting in & out of car.
Limitation of movement
Difficulty of carrying daily activities
Joint deformities

Methods of treatment of Osteoarthritis

Symptomatic Relief

Analgesics (pain-killers) and NSAIDS (Non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs)
Physiotherapy
Lifestyle Modification

Disease Modifying Osteoarthritis Drug (DMOAD)

Surgical procedures
Joint Lavage
Osteotomy
Joint replacement surgery

Technological breakthrough in Treatment of OA - Therapy

SBF Healthcare has developed highly complex sequentially programmed magnetic fields (SPMF) technology with precise command and control to regenerate the targeted cells for curing of primarily OA.
This Therapy is the world’s first scientifically proven, non-surgical treatment to help regenerate cartilage and restore mobility of arthritic knee joints.
Success ratio of joint surgery is 1 in 6 cases.
SPMF provides treatment in just 21 days, also at 1/3rd the cost of total knee replacement (TKR) e. Rs 4.5lakh
Till date SBF has treated more than 7000 cases for arthritis and 300 cases for cancer.
SPMF Treatment Process

Globally, of the 291 health conditions, knee and hip OA was ranked as the 11th highest contributor to global disability and 38th highest in DALYs. YLDs for hip and knee OA increased from 10.5 Mn in 1990 to 18.1 Mn in 2012

Why SPMF?

Failure of conventional treatment in preventing rapid progression and persistent pain in deterioration of quality of life

Resonant Frequencies

Every type of matter, molecule and cell has its own unique wave signature.
To resonate something you emit a wave signature which is “ in sync “ with the wave signature of the material you are working with.
The application of a constant resonant frequency to a material intensifies and reinforces the standing frequency of that material
Position of SPMF on the EM Spectrum

Sub-Radio and Near-Radio, A part of the spectrum used for the first time in Medical Field. Currently used in Oceanography and Submarines

Technological breakthrough in Treatment of OA- Device Details

The AKTIS SOMA machine generates Sequential Programmed Magnetic Fields at a field strength of less than 30 microtesla at the centre of the gantry and pulsed in the range of 6-200Hz.
These are computer controlled and aligned onto the target tissues with the aid of class 2 laser guides.
The machine has magnetic field generators that helps focus on the particular portion of the knee/tumor.
These beams are focused on the joint by laser guides and also records the data– this helps operate and monitor the machine from a central location.
In technology break-through use of Electromagnetic fields has been proven to regenerate the cartilage and reverse the process of arthritis and improving the functionality of the joint resulting in improving stability, mobility and the patient getting back to activities of daily living.

Effectiveness & treatment process of SPMF therapy

Proven treatment effectiveness of SPMF therapy for Osteoarthritis

Patients were exposed to SPMF Therapy daily for One hour, for 21 consecutive days
Total Knee Score (TKS), Total Functional Score, (TFS), were measured pre, post and 90 days post treatment
Conclusion: Therapeutic exposure of the knee cartilage to SPMF has significantly improved TKS and TFS.
SPMF Therapy for Osteoarthritis significantly decreases knee or joint pain and halts the progress of the disease by reviving the physiological responses of the cells that have stopped responding to tissue injury and healing themselves

Results of the Phase 1 & 2 trials

Range Of Motion (ROM) increased progressively in every patient.
(Total Functional Score) and Total Knee Score (TKS)improved spectacularly in all the patients, who were able to walk comfortably for considerable distances at the end of the treatment.

SPMF Therapy VS Existing Treatment Modes

SPMF Therapy compares well on most metrics vis-à-vis competing treatment modes

Particulars	Arthroscopy	Knee Replacement	SPMF Therapy
Anesthesia	Sometimes	Yes	No
Blood Transfusion	No	Maybe	No
Scar/Cut	Minor	Yes	No
Pain during process	Yes	Yes	No
Hospital Stay	Few hours	Few days	1 hour daily
Return to work	In days	In weeks/months	Same day
Risk in procedure	Yes	Yes	No
Tissue regeneration	No	No	Yes
Patients’ Acceptance	Reluctance due to risk and expenses	Reluctance due to risk, pain and expenses	Considerable Acceptance
Price	Moderate	High	Low
Treatment costs covered by Insurance Policy	Yes	Yes	Yes

SPMF Therapy has no side effects and is based on sound scientific principles which tackle the root cause of cartilage degeneration through the use of non-ionizing radiation

Therapy In Treatment Of Cancer

Cancer – Incidence In India And Worldwide

2 – 2.5 million cancer cases
7 million new cases diagnosed every year
35 million cases die of cancer every year
60% 0f cases – between the age 35 – 65yrs
12% incidence each year
10.9 million people worldwide are diagnosed with cancer

Cancer Mortality, India

>2000 people die of cancer everyday
8 lakhs people die because of tobacco-related Cancer
Accounts for 12% of all deaths worldwide and 25% of deaths yearly, only in US
Cancer deaths expected to rise from 6 to 10 million by 2025

Mechanism of action of SPMF Therapy

SPMF exposure of cancer cells causes apoptosis by acting as follows

Sensitizes the cancerours cells and normalizes the cell membrane potential and halts the process of cell proliferation leading to apoptosis
SPMF in particular Frequency, normalizes the aberrant EMF of centrioles and microtubules; Restores Centriolar function and halts mitosis, thereby marks the cell for apoptosis
PMF exposure on cancer cells activates P53 and restores its function; Thus induces Programmed Cell Death, i.e. apoptosis
