Nuclear magnetic resonance therapy is a new non-invasive treatment method that can be a supplement or alternative to traditional pharmacological and physiotherapeutic methods. Considering the relative novelty of the technique, research into the possibilities of its use is relevant. Purpose: to conduct an analysis of data from modern literature regarding the possibility of using nuclear magnetic resonance therapy in the treatment of degenerative-dystrophic joint diseases. Results. The results of the experimental studies presented in the review prove the stimulating effect of nuclear magnetic resonance therapy on the regenerative potential of cartilage and bone tissues by inducing the proliferation of chondrocytes and osteoblasts. According to the data of clinical studies, the use of nuclear magnetic resonance therapy helped to reduce the intensity of the pain syndrome and improve the functional activity of patients with degenerative-dystrophic diseases of the joints. Conclusion. Considering the results of the considered experimental and clinical studies, the use of nuclear magnetic resonance therapy is a promising direction in the treatment of degenerative-dystrophic joint diseases. However, it is necessary to conduct further research to deepen knowledge about the mechanism of action of nuclear magnetic resonance therapy in osteoarthritis and the possibilities of using this method in practice.
