The present disclosure provides, in part, methods of treatment for Alzheimer’s disease comprising applying repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) therapy to a patient in need thereof. The present disclosure also provides devices that generate a low intensity pulsed magnetic field and variable frequencies.

Described herein are high-power pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) applicator apparatuses. These apparatuses are configured to drive multiple applicators to concurrently deliver high-power PEMF signals to tissue. The apparatuses may be further configured to wirelessly communicate with local computing device and a remote server for patient monitoring, prescription and/or device servicing.

A first magnetic field for application to body tissue is generated via a first inductor. A second magnetic field is also generated via a second inductor. Connecting circuitry, including at least first and second branches, is provided between an electric storage device such as a capacitor, or a capacitor arrangement comprising at least a first capacitor, and the first and second inductors. A switch forming part of the first branch electrically connects the electric storage device to the first inductor enabling electrical current to flow through the first branch and the first inductor, thereby causing the first inductor to generate the first magnetic field. The current flowing through the first branch represents a first direction of flow with respect to the electric storage device. A switch forming part of the second branch electrically connects the electric storage device to the second inductor enabling current to flow between the electric storage device and the second inductor through the second branch. The current flowing through the second branch represents a second direction of flow with respect to the electric storage device.
