摘要 |
The invention relates to an apparatus for treating a bodily lesion that is associated with inadequate blood perfusion, partial denervation, neuronal apoptosis, tissue loss, pain, oedema and/or infection. The inventive apparatus is used to apply external, non-invasive, analgesic electromagnetic fields (EMF) to the patient with the lesion, in an area removed from the site of the lesion. The aforementioned electromagnetic fields are effective in increasing angiogenesis, vasculogenesis, neural tissue regeneration and osteogenesis, restoring the wound repair process, providing analgesic, anti-oedema, anti-inflammatory effects and/or repairing wounds. The electromagnetic fields include frequencies from several Hertz up to less than approximately 300 Hz, as well as components of a static field from between several microteslas and a maximum intensity of between approximately 0.3 and approximately 0.8 mT, which can be applied alone or together with a homogeneous static field from approximately 40 to approximately 80 T, or approximately 400 to approximately 800 Gauss. ® KIPO & WIPO 2007
