对于许多人来说,电子设备是日常生活的方便部分。他们允许您进行浏览互联网或微波食物的事情。

然而,有些人认为他们对来自电子产品发出的辐射过敏。这种感知的病症称为电磁超敏反应或电橡胶敏感性(EHS)。

It happens when someone feels that they’re extra-sensitive to电磁场(EMFS)。通常只是称为辐射,EMF由Wi-Fi路由器,计算机等电子设备释放,microwave ovens, and other home appliances.

据说他们有EHS的人,暴露于EMF会导致症状:

  • 头晕
  • headaches
  • 刺痛

It’s thought that the first reports of EHS occurred in the mid-1900s. The former Soviet Union said that radar technicians and military technicians working with radio experienced EHS, then known as “microwave syndrome.”

The name “electromagnetic hypersensitivity” first appeared in 1991. Since then, many people have said they have EHS, especially as electronics have become more popular.

尽管有这些报道,EHS在医学领域不是一个公认的疾病。研究未能在EMF和报告的症状之间找到强烈的临床关系。此外,缺乏诊断EHS的客观标准。

结果,EHS是一种自我诊断的条件。让我们来看看科学对条件的看法以及它如何治疗。

EHS is a controversial topic in the medical field. Currently, there’s no evidence that links EMFs and the perceived symptoms of EHS. There’s also no reliable research explaining how EMFs may cause such symptoms.

在一个 2019年评论 ,研究人员分析了28项盲化的实验研究,检查了EMF和EHS症状之间的联系。他们分析了每个研究的优势和局限,以及数据的可靠性。

According to the researchers, studies suggesting that EMFs may cause negative symptoms had various limitations. This included issues like failing to screen participants for conditions that may cause EHS symptoms or unreliable statistical analyses.

此外,最近的研究发现人们无法识别实际的EMF暴露。

在一个2018年研究,通过自诊断的EHS人员接触到来自移动和无线电系统的EMF,以及假(假)信号。参与者在他们的时候报告了更多的症状想法每个站都在 - 这表明他们无法判断他们何时接触到EMF。

Another 2017 study found similar results. Participants with self-reported EHS were exposed to EMFs and fake frequencies in a random pattern. None of the participants could indicate when they were being exposed to real EMFs.

据A. 2020点评 ,信仰EMF有害可能导致anocebo effect。这是当一个人因对治疗的负面信念而经受治疗的消​​极症状时发生的。

一些科学家们还认为,人们通过相信他们有EHS,人们应对预先存在的潜在条件。

Some people report being hypersensitive to EMFs from Wi-Fi. However, Wi-Fi allergies are not real. There’s no strong evidence that proves people can be allergic to Wi-Fi signals.

What’s more, research hasn’t found a clinically sound relationship between EHS symptoms and Wi-Fi.

EHS的声称症状是无特异性和范围的类型和严重程度。他们可能包括:

有些人说他们有EHS说这些症状是由特定对象引起的,如智能手机或计算机。

Symptoms due to EHS have been ruled out by research, though. Studies haven’t found a connection between EMF exposure and the symptoms above. Instead, scientists speculate that symptoms of EHS may be due to undiagnosed physical or psychological conditions.

因为EHS不是一个正式的诊断,有no standard treatment for the condition. Still, a doctor can do several things to ease your symptoms.

According to the 世界卫生组织 (世卫组织),治疗应包括以下措施:

治疗of underlying conditions

A doctor will likely start with a medical evaluation to learn more about your symptoms. The goal is to detect and treat any disorders that might be causing your symptoms.

除了询问你的问题,医生会做一个体检并记录你的病史。它们也可能订购血液测试或将您推荐给专家。

Therapy

You may be asked to meet with a mental health professional. They can identify and treat underlying psychological conditions that may be contributing to your symptoms.

A mental health expert can also provide the following to help you manage your thoughts about EMFs:

环境变化

Environmental factors in your home and workplace may lead to perceived EHS symptoms. Consequently, you might be asked to modify your environment in these areas.

例子包括:

  • 通过获得一个减少室内空气污染除湿机,削减回来smoking, 或者是其他东西
  • decreasing excess noise
  • 改善差的照明
  • 添加符合人体工程学的元素

EHS is a self-reported condition that hasn’t been proven by science. It’s defined by unpleasant symptoms, like headaches and pain, triggered by exposure to electronic devices.

Recent research has found no evidence that EHS exists. Some scientists think people have negative symptoms because they believe electromagnetic fields are harmful.

这种症状可能是由于潜在的身体或心理障碍。对感知EHS的治疗可包括治疗潜在条件,治疗或环境变化。
