Abstract
This invention deals with inducing urination and/or defecation as well as gastrointestinal transit time through electro-magnetic induction. The claimed method provides a non-invasive procedure to stimulate excretory functions in paraplegic and quadriplegic patients.
Claims16
A method for treating a mammalian subject to reduce colonic transit time thereby regulating the excretory function including the steps of exposing the subject to sufficient electro-magnetic induction for a sufficient period of time to reduce colonic transit time and to induce the excretory function.
A method for treating a mammalian subject to regulate the bowel function including the steps of exposing the subject to sufficient electro-magnetic induction for a sufficient period of time to reduce the colonic transit time and to induce the bowel function wherein the field strength maximum of the electro-magnetic induction is less than 5.0 Tesla, and having a focus of the electro-magnetic induction including that portion of the anatomy of the mammalian subject between the L 1 and S 5 vertebrae.
A method for treating a mammalian subject to reduce colonic transit time including the steps of exposing the subject to sufficient electro-magnetic induction for a sufficient period of time to reduce colonic transit time.
A method for treating a mammalian subject to reduce gastrointestinal transit time thereby regulating the bowel function including the steps of exposing the subject to sufficient electro-magnetic induction for a sufficient period of time to reduce gastrointestinal transit time and to induce the excretory function.
