Abstract Background: Polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis is represented with chronic pain and inflammation, and extra-articular manifestations with elevated comorbidities resulted in massive socio-economic impacts. Both pulsed electromagnetic fields, and low-level laser therapies are non-invasive therapeutic approaches have anabolic benefits those not fully explored so far. Purpose: To compare between pulsed magnetic field versus low level laser therapy in management of polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis. Material & Methods: A single prospective clinical, randomized control trial. It involved forty children with polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis, their age range was 8-16 years old, and they were randomly assigned into two equal groups Group (A): received pulsed electromagnetic field, ..
