DEVICE

Low Field Magnetic Stimulation Device

The LFMS Device is an electromagnetic coil situated on a cylinder with an inside diameter of 13.2 inches. It produces weak electromagnetic fields at a frequency of about 1 kHz; the magnetic fields are less than 30 Gauss and the electric fields are up to 1.43 V/m. Subjects will receive one 20 minute treatment.
