Abstract
A device for applying an electromagnetic field, an electric field, or both, to at least a part of a body, comprises at least a transducer and a generator for applying an ac signal to the transducer. The transducer is adapted for applying to at least part of the body at least part of electromagnetic field or the electric field or both generated by the transducer. The amplitude of the field is time dependent and has a spectrum of frequencies in which some frequencies or frequency areas are more strongly represent than others.
Claims14
An apparatus for applying at least one of an electromagnetic field or an electric field to at least a part of a patient, the apparatus comprising:
- a transducer;
- a generator for applying an AC signal to the transducer;
- the transducer generating at least one of the electromagnetic field or the electric field;
- the transducer being adapted to apply to at least part of the body at least one of the electromagnetic field or the electric field to at least part of the patient;
- and
- at least one of the electromagnetic field or the electric field being comprised of a summation or integration of two or more signals with different base frequencies.
A method for treating a patient, the method comprising:
- using a transducer driven by a generator, the transducer generating at least one of an electromagnetic field or an electric field;
- and
- applying at least one of the electromagnetic field or the electric field to at least a part of the patient, wherein at least one of the electromagnetic field or the electric field is comprised of a summation or integration of two or more signals with different base frequencies.
