Abstract:
This invention, fundamentally a regular array of points, is applied non-invasively to a subject and it induces, monitors and controls a variety of therapeutic stimuli. It is effective in novel and non-obvious ways when the points are spaced approximately 3 to 6 mm apart. Further development includes patterns of electromagnetically dissimilar metal points, a magnetized support, and configurable electrical connections along with various controllers and stimulus sources. This device can administer an unprecedented variety of therapeutic stimuli in unprecedented combinations. Effects arise galvanically, through interaction of point arrays with the magnetized support, and by application of electromagnetic forces. It can electronically monitor both stimuli and local subject response through the points themselves enabling effective controls and an avenue for research. Its flat shape accomodates accessories to apply other stimuli such as heat. A clinical version accomodates invasive treatments and bulky external devices.
