Abstract
In an apparatus and a method for pain therapy and/or for influencing the autonomic nervous system, at least one pulse-like wave is conducted onto a neurally sensitive region with an apparatus, namely a source of pulse-like waves the region participating in the conduction with respect to the pain or with respect to the region of the autonomic nervous system to be influenced.
Claims9
A method for medical therapy comprising the steps of:
- selecting a neurally sensitive body region of a subject, said neurally sensitive body region comprising a nerve center;
- and
- producing at least one focused pressure pulse using an electromagnetic pressure pulse source and non-destructively charging said neurally sensitive body region with said at least one focused pressure pulse for effecting a therapeutical effect of the group consisting of at least alleviating pain in a region within the body of said subject associated by transmission of stimuli with said neurally sensitive body region and influencing a part of the autonomic nervous system of said subject associated by transmission of stimuli with said neurally sensitive body region.
