QRS Research
QRS RESEARCH
The QRS, Quantron Resonance System, is backed by 30 years of scientific knowledge, numerous clinical trials and empirical tests. There is a broad range of applications for treatment with the pulsating electromagnetic fields of the QRS. We have listed some of these studies for you. Ongoing research on a national and international basis is being conducted with this emerging technology. Use of the QRS has been proven safe and effective in Europe and Australia. As yet, no medical claims are made or implied concerning use or application in the United States.
The bottom of this page lists some GENERAL STUDIES and CASE STUDIES.
There have also been many documents written about QRS and are available for reading here:
Scientific studies
Pain Reduction Study 1
Dr. W. Kobinger, Dr. G. Fischer, Dr. T. Barovic, Dr. Z. Turk, Dr. N. Skat, Dr. D. Zivac. “Using Magnetic Fields to Increase Flexibility and Reduce Pain with Respect to Ailments of the Ambulatory Apparatus.” Presented at the 26th Conference of the Austrian Society for Internal Medicine. July 1995.
Study conducted at Marburg Teaching Hospital, Drau (Slovakia) and the Institute of Hygiene, Graz University (Austria)
Between 01/02/95 and l2/05/95, 14 male and 14 female patients with ambulatory and sustenticular apparatus ailments, were treated solely using a magnetic field treatment device (QRS) . The patients had no prior surgical treatment related to their ailments. The QRS was previously unavailable on the Austrian market.
The patients (Ave. age 46.1 + 10.8 a) were suffering from intervertebral disc prolapse (diagnosed via myclography), spinal stenosis (on basis of CT), and osteoporosis (densiometry). They were treated in 20 sessions (8 minutes, twice daily – once in the morning and once in the afternoon) over a two-week period (Mon-Fri) on a mattress-like application mat using the maximum field-level setting on the QRS device (Bmax = 4 mt).
Success of the therapy was evaluated using a 10-point Dole scale, comparing a measured distance between the fingertips and the floor while the patients were bending forward both prior to, and following, treatment. Evaluation of tile subjective pain experienced by the subjects was carried out using non- parametric maximum, sequential-range, and semi-qualitative Chi2 tests. Flexibility was evaluated using the two-tailed t-Test for unequal variances (parametric test).
Using the sequential-range and maximum tests (111.2), there was a significant reduction in pain (p<0.05). Further level of significance could not be determined in either case due to methodological reasons.
Proceeding on the null hypothesis of an equal distribution for the categories, “improved” and “worsened”, the results of the Chi2 test (p<0.001) were highly significant in favor of the effect of the magnetic field treatment. Increased flexibility in bending was also highly significant (p<0.001) (see 111.2).
Pain reduction study 2
M. Schroter “Conservative Treatment of 240 Patients with Magnetic Field Therapy.”Medizinisch-Orthopadische Technik (Medical- Orthopedic Techniques) March/April 1996, Issue 2, page 78
Magnetic field therapy (MFT) is a clear therapeutic gain in conservatively oriented therapeutics. By no means does it constitute an alternative solution to other forms of therapy, but it has become an established component in the entire treatment spectrum of orthopedics. The indications and results are presented briefly.
The following data relate to a group of 240 patients treated with magnetic field therapy in a conservative orthopedic practice. Any secondary treatment by medication was dropped in 90% of the cases treated with MFT in order not to obscure the therapeutic success, if any. However, in two of Morbus Bechterew’s cases, aged 24 and 27, Indometacin was applied. After about 50 sessions of MFT, we discontinued the medication, following gradual reduction, over time, of the daily dose.
The daily sessions of magnetic field therapy were about 1 hour long. Major changes in frequency and intensity were avoided.
Presented here are the results achieved on the affected areas of the body, based on subjective accounts by patients, evaluation of X-ray pictures, and increased functionality and/or ability to take pressure.
By the nature of conservative orthopedic practice, empirical results indicating the success, or otherwise, of a therapy, are primarily gained through comments by the patients and cannot be readily standardized. Therefore the following presentation does not aim at meeting the strict scientific requirements of rigid documentation. Rather, it is the result of a synopsis of symptoms and parameters, which indicate the success of magnetic field therapy application in individual cases.
The following indicators were registered and used in the assessment:
Decrease of pain, increase in functionality and ability to take pressure, disappearance of swelling and pathological skin coloration, lack of need for orthopedic devices, even reaction to changes in the weather and subjective comments on the progress during therapy.
The following types of illnesses were treated:
1.Degenerative illnesses of the ambulatory apparatus (arthritis,chondropathic illnesses, degenerative illnesses of the vertebral column).
2.Rheumatic illnesses (Bechterew, pcF ** of small and big joints, synovitis).
3.Delayed healing process in bones and pseudo-arthritis (some involving infections).
4.Newly broken bones.
5.Aseptic necrosis of the bones (predominantly Perthes’ disease).
6.Loosened full endo-protheses.
7.Venal and arterial Lirculation disturbances, Sudeck syndrome in all stages.
8.Osteo-chondritis dissecans in a variety of joints.
9.Osteomyelitis.
10.Distortions and bruises.
Summing up all cases ranging from slight improvement to complete restoration of health, the success rate approaches 80% of patients who underwent magnetic field therapy. However, the results vary in accordance with the individual field of indication.
Elderly Diseases Study
Dr. W. Gaube, Dr. W. Kobinger, Dr. G. Fischer. “Whole Body Magnetic Field Therapy for Selected Diseases of Elderly Persons in a General Practice.” Austrian Journal for Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, August 1999.
Thirty-two patients of a general practice, predominantly with disorders of the locomotor system or other specific diseases were treated with weak pulsed magnetic fields (field strength: max. 4µT) at different time intervals and partly in conjunction with conservative therapy. Two devices were used (”Salut 1″ or “Bonvita”) with coil-mats built into a mattress.
Upon conclusion of the magnetic field therapy we found a highly significant improvement in mobility among patients and (p < 0.01) a reduction in the fingertip to floor distance when bending forward. Furthermore, patients who received drug treatment needed a significantly lower dosage of drugs after completion of the magnetic field treatment.

Pancreatitis Patient with chronic pancreatitis and digestive problems was trouble-free with QRS after 1 week.
Edema Woman with lymph blockage in legs had swelling and pain. After three days with QRS she had no pain and was able to walk.
Dr. David G. Spall, MD Australia
He has used QRS as an adjunct to other treatments in his cancer clinic established in 1996. After 4 months of extensive use he was able to confirm obvious benefits to a broad spectrum of patients including some cancers advanced to stages 3 and 4. Among the benefits were patients needing decreased amounts of analgesics, and visibly improving their saturated oxygen levels.
Carcinoma Woman, marathon swimmer, had stage 4 metastatic basal cell carcinoma with secondaries in lungs. Long-term use of QRS has been a benefit and has improved microcirculation.
Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma Woman 76 years old had involvement of parotid gland and lymph nodes on neck, distorting her face and closing her eye. Daily treatment with QRS over 8 weeks resulted in remission.
Dr. Eckhard Roekrich, MD Germany He has an open mind about alternative and natural therapies. Among other treatments, he offers his patients nutritional therapy and acupuncture. He used QRS extensively for 6 months on a variety of patients and was pleased with the results.
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) Woman 45 years old was diagnosed of this motor neuron disease with a 3-4 year life expectancy. After 1 month of QRS and vitamin supplements, she reported better muscle control, strength, and energy. After 3 months she claimed to be feeling 100% better.
Shoulder and Neck Injury Man 53 years old had repeated surgeries for work-related injuries. His condition was further complicated with arthritis. After 6 weeks with QRS he had less pain, fewer and shorter headaches, and enjoyed 3 or more additional hours of sleep at night.
Dr. E. Allcicco, MD Italy
