摘要：
This invention relates to an improved magnetic field induction therapy device and an improved method of treatment using magnetic field induction therapy. The method and device utilise pulsed alternating magnetic fields of specific characteristics which have been found to be, at least, therapeutic, In particular, the present invention relates to a device and method for creating varied and programmable magnetic fields, especially in a hand held unit for medical or therapeutic applications. The therapeutic value of magnetic fields has been known for more than two thousand years. Permanent magnets placed on or adjacent an animal or human body have been used for pain relief and blood circulation improvement. It is also known to use pulsating magnetic fields for medical and therapeutic purposes. For over 40 years the use of electro-magnetic fields has been known to be more beneficial than static or permanent magnetic fields. Pulsed and variable electro-magnetic Field Therapy (PEMFT) provide an alternative to conventional methods for treatment of certain medical conditions. PEMFT is particularly, but not exclusively, used to treat pain and wound healing. Typically, a ll or part of a patients body is exposed to a pulsating electro-magnetic field, the field being characterised by its variable pulse frequency and its magnetic flux density (usually measured in Tesla), or equivalent field strength measure. It is believed that the characteristics of the magnetic field have an effect on the effectiveness of the treatment. It is an object of the present invention to provide an apparatus and method for creating pulsed and variable electromagnetic fields which is convenient to use and relatively effective in its treatment.La présente invention concerne un dispositif de thérapie par induction de champs magnétiques amélioré et un procédé de traitement utilisant la thérapie par induction de champs magnétiques.
