  The Soviet Union first used electromagnetic fields to treat astronauts  who had spent an extended period in space during the cold war. Cosmonauts who spent extended periods in space experienced loss of muscle and bone density due to lack of movement and gravity. The Soviet Union used electromagnetic field therapy to combat bone loss in cosmonauts and regenerate their bone density. Since then, electromagnetic fields for treatment have spread throughout Russia and Eastern Europe. NASA conducted its research  on the use of PEMF in the early 2000s and filed its patents for using PEMF in tissue regeneration.
