ABSTRACT
Low-energy emission therapy (LEET) is a new method to administer low levels of electromagnetic energy. It consists of amplitude-modulated electromagnetic fields delivered intrabuccally by means of an electrically conducting mouthpiece in direct contact with the oral mucosa. The LEET device is a batterypowered device emitting a carrier frequency of 27.12 MHz, which is modulated at specific frequencies between 0.1 and 300 Hz. LEET therapeutic efficacy relies on two major advances in the field of bioelectromag-netics:
1. A safe and user-friendly method to administer well-defined levels of electro magnetic energy to humans
2. The discovery of specific clusters of modulation frequencies with therapeutic effects in insomnia and anxiety disorders
The treatment of chronic psychophysiological insomnia presents a challenge that has not been met using currently available pharmacotherapy. LEET has been initially developed as a potential alternative for this disorder.
