This work aims to identify, develop, and test a prototype electrode suitable for future experiments on a rat model, aimed at studying the application of Quantum Molecular Resonance (QMR) technology for the treatment of tendinopathy. The preliminary phase of the research focused on evaluating different electrode models, analyzing their configuration, usage methods, and performance, with the objective of identifying the most advantageous solution in terms of efficacy, safety, and economic sustainability. This document is intended to provide a technical and scientific foundation, building upon previous experiments conducted on the rat model using technologies similar to QMR, in order to establish the basis on which subsequent tests will be developed. Through comparative tests, the thermal variations induced during use and their possible effects on treated tissues were examined, employing specific instrumentation for real-time monitoring. Data analysis allowed the identification of a preferred configuration, which will be analyzed in greater detail. It was also observed that continuous signal application, without stop intervals, does not allow the maintenance of temperatures within acceptable ranges. Tests were conducted to determine the correct on-off interval of the signal, with the aim of enhancing treatment safety. This study represents a crucial preliminary step toward optimizing a reproducible and reliable experimental system, which could serve as the foundation for future experiments on animal models aimed at developing new therapeutic approaches for musculoskeletal disorders.
Il presente lavoro ha l’obiettivo di individuare, sviluppare e testare un prototipo di elettrodo idoneo a futuri esperimenti su modello di ratto, finalizzati allo studio dell’applicazione della Risonanza Quantica Molecolare (QMR) per il trattamento della tendinopatia. La fase preliminare della ricerca si è concentrata sulla valutazione di differenti modelli di elettrodo, analizzandone configurazione, modalità d’uso e prestazioni, con l’obiettivo di identificare la soluzione più vantaggiosa in termini di efficacia, sicurezza e sostenibilità economica. Il seguente documento ha previsto poi un approfondimento sia tecnico che letterario sulle precedenti prove fatte sul modello ratto utilizzando tecnologie simili alla QMR in modo tale da creare la base su cui avrebbero poggiato le prove successive. Attraverso prove comparative sono state esaminate le variazioni termiche indotte durante l’utilizzo e i possibili effetti sui tessuti trattati, impiegando strumentazione specifica per il monitoraggio in tempo reale. L’analisi dei dati ha permesso di individuare una configurazione preferenziale che verrà analizzata nel dettaglio. È stato inoltre riscontrato che l’utilizzo del segnale in continuo, senza tempi di stop, non permette di mantenere le temperature nei range accettabili. Sono stati svolti dei test per individuare il corretto intervallo on-off del segnale, ai fini di incrementare la sicurezza del trattamento. Questo studio rappresenta un passaggio preliminare fondamentale verso l’ottimizzazione di un sistema sperimentale riproducibile e affidabile, che potrà costituire la base per successive sperimentazioni su modello animale orientate allo sviluppo di nuovi approcci terapeutici per le patologie muscoloscheletriche.
