Method for reducing sensation in a human body part using magnetism

A method for reducing transmission in a human body of sensation from a body part to the brain, said sensation originating in said body part, said body part being located in the upper extremities of the body, the method comprising the steps of:

• a) disposing at least one source of magnetic flux in close proximity to the cervico-dorsal region of the body;
• and
• b) allowing said source to remain so disposed for a period of time sufficient to reduce transmission of said sensation from said body part to the brain.

A method for reducing transmission in a human body of sensation along a course of a nerve from a body part to the brain, said course extending from said body part to the brain, said sensation originating in said body part, the method comprising the steps of:

• a) disposing at least one source of magnetic flux in close proximity to a point along said course remote from said body part between said body part and the brain;
• and
• b) allowing said source to remain so disposed for a period of time sufficient to reduce transmission of said sensation from said body part to the brain.

A method for reducing transmission in a human body of sensation from a body part to the brain, said sensation originating and perceived to be originating in said body part, said body part being located at or below the lumbar-sacral region of the body, the method comprising the steps of:

• a) disposing at least one source of magnetic flux in close proximity to the lumbar-sacral region of the body;
• and
• b) allowing said source to remain so disposed for a period of time sufficient to reduce transmission of said sensation from said body part to the brain.
