CYTOKINE CONTROLLING DEVICE, TREATING DEVICE AND TREATING METHOD

摘要

An electromagnetic wave radiation unit (1) formed by winding a radiating coil (1-2) around a coil bobbin (1-1) is provided in a case (2). Electric current (for example, resonance frequency of 60 kHz, resonance current of 0.95 mA) is supplied from a power supply unit (3) to the radiating coil (1-2) via a resonance circuit (4). Accordingly, a feeble electromagnetic wave is emitted from the radiating coil (1-2) to form an electromagnetic field (for example, magnetic flux density 6.7 nT, electric field intensity 0.42 V/m) suitable for treating at a P-point. When an affected part is set at the P-point and in the vicinity thereof, a cytokine secretion is controlled. It is confirmed that inflammatory cytokine in an animal subjected to inflammation, for example, is significantly controlled. Efficacy is recognized in a range, 20-180 kHz, and especially a preferable result is seen in the vicinity of 60 kHZ.
