Introduction: The varying levels of lipids in the blood is defined as lipid profile, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and triglycerides are most commonly reported. Pulsed Electromagnetic field therapy, is a therapy involves powerful pulsed energy waves passing through injured and damaged area of body of patients. Waves of pulsed electromagnetic field are painless and quick to pass through the damaged cells in the damaged region, increasing the oxygen pressure activating and regenerating cells. Methodology:  A Total of 40 subjects will be included in the study. Divided in two groups 20 in group 1 and 20 in group 2.Group 1 will receive Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (PEMF) with aerobic and resistance exercises while Group 2 will receive aerobic and resistance training exercises as conventional physiotherapy technique. Discussion: 13 meta-analyses were categorized by Pedersen and Saltin, they have reported lipid profile involvement following exercise. They have described that exercise have a positive effect on the pathogenesis, physical fitness of individuals with dyslipidaemia. Effect of exercise profile on lipid have been stated in few studies. This study will focus on studying the impact of pulsed electromagnetic field therapy on lipid profile. Conclusion: Conclusion will be drawn based on the outcome measures of the study and the statistical analysis.

Purpose To evaluate eye signs, proptosis and ocular movements in patients with endocrine ophthalmopathy under the influence of pulsed electromagnetic field therapy. Methods We examined 14 patients (9 women, 5 men) with endocrine ophthalmopathy and evaluated eye signs, proptosis and ocular movements before and after the course of pulsed electromagnetic field therapy, and 12 controls. Their age ranged from 29 to 57 years. Visual sensitivity was investigated with a static automatic perimeter (Allergan Humphrey Field Analyzer). The score was calculated by rating the severity of involvement of soft tissue, proptosis, extraocular movements, corneal state and optic nerve function on a scale from 0 to 3. The pulsed electromagnetic field procedures were carried out with the help of electromagnetic spectacles. Results Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy reduced the score for soft tissue and proptosis in patients who suffered from endocrine ophthalmopathy. There was fall in the mean score for ocular movements, corneal and optic nerve function but it did not reach significance after treatment. Electromagnetic field therapy has no useful effect on visual signs and eye movements in two patients who had had the illness more than two years. Conclusions Localised pulsed electromagnetic field procedures can be recommended, together with other methods of conservative treatment of endocrine ophthalmopathy.
