Abstract：
BACKGROUND: The appearance of striae gravidarum (SG) during pregnancy is a common problem. The most common SG are abdominal striae, which can cause the greatest sequelae after pregnancy, and in the long term. There are several solutions to prevent and treat these striae, but not all are completely effective, and not without side effects.
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a treatment that applies an electromagnetic field under vacuum (V-EMF therapy) on the abdominal SG.
METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the medical records of 26 women affected by abdominal SG and treated with V-EMF therapy. The results were evaluated using two different 5-point Likert Scales: one administered to the treated subjects to evaluate their satisfaction, and one to the doctors who performed the treatment, to evaluate the improvement of the striae. The presence of side effects, and the effects of sun exposure after treatment were also considered.
RESULTS: Only two treated subjects rated their level of satisfaction with a Score III on the Liker Scale. Everyone else expressed higher levels of satisfaction. Only one doctor rated the improvement of the striae with a Liker scale score of III. All the others reported greater improvements. No discomfort or side effects were noted either during the individual treatment sessions, or at the end of the treatment. The striae showed a newfound ability to tan.
CONCLUSIONS: V-EMF therapy proves to be a valid, safe, and effective treatment modality for SG.

摘要：
背景：怀孕期间妊娠纹（SG）的出现是一个常见问题。最常见的SG是腹部纹，这可能会导致怀孕后最大的后遗症，从长远来看。有几种解决方案可以预防和治疗这些条纹，但并非所有人都完全有效，也不是没有副作用.
目的：本研究的目的是评估在真空下对腹部SG施加电磁场（V-EMF疗法）的治疗的有效性。
方法：对26例受腹部SG影响并接受V-EMF治疗的妇女的病历进行回顾性分析。使用两种不同的5点Likert量表评估结果：一种对接受治疗的受试者进行评估，以评估他们的满意度，还有一个给进行治疗的医生，以评估纹路的改善情况。副作用的存在，并考虑了治疗后阳光照射的影响。
结果：只有两名接受治疗的受试者用Liker量表评分III来评估他们的满意度水平。其他人都表达了更高的满意度。只有一位医生用Liker量表评分III来评价条纹的改善。所有其他人都报告了更大的改进。在单独的治疗过程中没有发现不适或副作用，或在治疗结束时。条纹显示出一种新发现的晒黑能力。
结论：V-EMF治疗被证明是有效的，安全,和SG的有效治疗方式。
