Abstract：BACKGROUND:Mil imeter wave has been applied in clinic for about 20 years, while the mechanisms and clinical curative effect are stil undefined and lacked of evidence based medicine. <br> OBJECTIVE:To review the clinical application and mechanism of mil imeter wave in various diseases in the past 10 years. <br> METHODS:A computer-based online search was performed in the CNKI database, China Standard database and Science Direct database from January1998 to December 2012 with the key words of“mil imeter wave, biological mechanisms, experimental studies, clinical application”put in the title and abstract. The articles related to the biological effect of mil imeter wave were included, and final y, 68 articles were included for review. <br> RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:When the mil imeter wave used in the human body, it can only go through the skin, but its energy can resonance with some molecules in the tissues and provide the treatment effects. Mil imeter wave therapy has a good affinity for aqueous tissue, which can improve the metabolism and blood circulation of partial tissues, and can enhance the metabolic and pathological product absorption and excretory, thus can eliminate inflammatory, al eviate swel and relieve pain. Mil imeter wave filed has comprehensive.
