Which of the following is NOT an effect of PAM?

• A. Reduce tissue inflammation
• B. Accelerate tissue healing
• C. Increase bone mineral density
• D. Modify transmission of pain signal

Answer: (C)

PAM delivers energy to tissues to influence their response, producing anti-inflammatory effects, promoting tissue repair, and altering pain signaling. These actions help reduce inflammation, accelerate healing, and modulate nociceptive transmission. Increasing bone mineral density isn’t a direct or typical outcome of PAM; bone mineral density changes require osteoblastic activity and remodeling over longer periods, and are usually addressed with different strategies.
