An article of clothing with magnets. The article of clothing with magnets is at least one material configured to receive a body part of a user, as well as at least one magnet disposed on the material. In various embodiments, the at least one magnet can be comprised of magnetic discs or magnetic strips. The article of clothing can cover the entire body, or various parts of an individual's body. In another embodiment, the at least one magnet is disposed on the inner layer such that it is in contact with a wearer's skin. In various embodiments, the at least one magnet is disposed at a plurality of meridian lines, a plurality of pressure points, a plurality of muscle groupings, a plurality of acupuncture points, or combinations thereof.

Apparatus and methods for managing pain uses separate varying electromagnetic fields, with a variety of temporal and amplitude characteristics, which are applied to a particular neural structure to modulate glial and neuronal interactions as a mechanism for relieving chronic pain. In another embodiment, a single composite modulation/stimulation signal which has rhythmically varying characteristics is used to achieve the same results as separate varying electromagnetic fields. Also, disclosed is an apparatus and method for modulating the expression of genes involved in diverse pathways including inflammatory/immune system mediators, ion channels and neurotransmitters, in both the Spinal Cord (SC) and Dorsal Root Ganglion (DRG) where such expression modulation is caused by spinal cord stimulation or peripheral nerve stimulation using the disclosed apparatus and techniques.

A method for enhancing muscle function of skeletal muscles in connection with a planned spine surgery intervention in a patient's back is provided. The method includes implanting one or more electrodes in or adjacent to tissue associated with one or more skeletal muscles within a back of a patient, the one or more electrodes in electrical communication with a pulse generator programmed for enhancing muscle function of the one or more skeletal muscles. Electrical stimulation is delivered, according to the programming during a time period associated with the planned spine surgery intervention, from the pulse generator to the tissue associated with the one or more skeletal muscles via the one or more electrodes, thereby improving neuromuscular control system performance of the one or more spine stabilizing muscles in connection with the planned spine surgery intervention to reduce the patient's recovery time associated with the planned spine surgery intervention.

Disclosed is a device for magnetic action on living bodies to perform physiotherapy or stimulating effects on the tissues and internal organs of a human being or an animal to eliminate pain syndromes, stimulate the processes of vital activity and regeneration, and accelerate tissue recovery after invasive effects and injuries. The device comprises an oscillator connected to an inductor including a bifilar coil made as a flat disk. Two coil windings formed as concentrically arranged spirals of adjacent wires of different windings are placed on a dielectric substrate. When attached to the skin surface, the device allows to purposefully target pathogenic areas and organs located at 3-6 cm under the surface, while practically not affecting the tissues located near that surface. Suitable for clinical or home application, the device can be used for relieving pain of various etiologies, treating menstrual syndrome, hemorrhoids, joint diseases, healing injuries, and stimulating cell proliferation.

High frequency repetitive magnetic pulses may be used to treat pain in the foot of a person by relaxing the muscle and reducing communication of pain signals by neurons in the treatment region. A device is disclosed, which is floor mounted and incorporates a cooling mechanism and heat sink to allow high frequency magnetic stimulation to the person's foot.

A medical apparatus for a patient comprises an external system configured to transmit one or more transmission signals, each transmission signal comprising at least power or data; and an implantable system configured to receive the one or more transmission signals from the external system. The apparatus can be configured to treat a patient and/or record patient data. Methods of treating a patient and recording patient data are also provided.

A device for enhancement of visual appearance including a first applicator to be coupled to a first area of a body region, with a first magnetic field generating device and a first radiofrequency electrode, a second applicator to be coupled to a second area of the body region, with a second magnetic field generating device. The device further includes a first energy storage device, a second energy storage device, and a first switching device to discharge energy from the first energy storage device to the first magnetic field generating to generate a first time-varying magnetic field to cause muscle contraction, and a second switching to discharge energy from the second energy storage device to the second magnetic field generating device to generate a second time-varying magnetic field. The first radiofrequency electrode may provide first radiofrequency waves causing heating of tissue within the first area of the body region.

A medical apparatus for a patient comprises an external system and an implantable system. The external system is configured to transmit one or more transmission signals, each transmission signal comprising at least power or data. The implantable system is configured to receive the one or more transmission signals from the external system, and to deliver stimulation energy to the patient. Methods of delivering stimulation energy are also provided.

A magnetic muscle stimulator device comprises a water tank configured to hold a quantity of water, a pump, one or more fans, and a magnetic applicator comprising a coil. The coil generates a magnetic field in response to receiving an alternating current. The coil comprises a water passage in the interior of the coil. The pump receives water from the water tank through a first water pipe and transfers the water into the water passage of the coil through a second water pipe. The water absorbs heat from the coil while passing through the water passage of the coil. The pump receives the water from the water passage of the coil through a third pipe and returns the water into the water tank through a fourth pipe. The water is cooled by the fans while being returned from the water passage of the coil into the water tank.

An auricular acupuncture patch to which an energy and blood stimulating part is attached is disclosed. The auricular acupuncture patch according to the present invention is attached along the reflect point of the ear, thereby being effective for treating dizziness, headaches, gastritis, asthma, gastroduodenal ulcers, enteritis, abdominal pain, diarrhea, bowel dysfunction, menstrual irregularity, insomnia, migraines, phobias, nervous vomiting, high fever, skin pruritus, oligogalactia, indigestion, obesity, smoking, and the like, and enabling the replacement of a decorative part, which are formed on the auricular acupuncture patch having the energy and blood stimulating part attached thereto, so as to provide various aesthetic effectiveness and conveniences in replacement.
