Title: Electrohypersensitivity as a Newly Identified and Characterized Neurologic Pathological Disorder: How to Diagnose, Treat, and Prevent It

Authors: Dominique Belpomme; Philippe Irigaray

Date: 2020-03-11

Issueyear: 2020

Why: People reporting disabling exposure-related symptoms need careful clinical investigation; this paper assembles proposed objective ways to study them.

Summary: Synthesizes the authors’ clinical observations and biomarker/imaging work and proposes an inflammatory/oxidative neurological account of EHS, often overlapping with multiple chemical sensitivity.

Limitations: Specialist, self-referred patient series and non-specific biomarkers limit generalisation and causal inference. Proposed diagnostic criteria and treatment approaches are not presented here as established clinical standards.

Scope: A clinical narrative account drawing on the authors’ EHS patient observations, biomarkers and proposed neurological mechanisms.

Exposures: Radiofrequency; ELF magnetic fields
