Apparatus and method for electromagnetic treatment of neurodegenerative conditions

摘要

Described herein are methods of treating neurological injury and conditions, in particular neurodegenerative conditions. These treatment methods can include the steps of generating a pulsed electromagnetic field from a pulsed electromagnetic field source and applying the pulsed electromagnetic field in proximity to a target region.

主权项

1. A method for treating a neurodegenerative disease or condition in a patient in need thereof, the method comprising:
placing a pulsed electromagnetic device comprising a pulsed electromagnetic field source external to a patient's head and in proximity to a target region for treatment through a skull; generating a pulsed electromagnetic field from the pulsed electromagnetic field source; applying the pulsed electromagnetic field through the skull to a target cerebrofacial tissue; and reducing a physiological response to the neurodegenerative disease or condition by applying the pulsed electromagnetic field; wherein the pulsed electromagnetic field has a strength of 200 milliGauss or less.
