The devices and methods of stimulating the immune system to treat damaged and abnormal tissue using compressed static magnetic fields provides for noninvasive treatment of damages tissue and removal of abnormal tissue. At least two magnets are positioned to have their static magnetic fields compressed at the damaged or abnormal tissue and at the immediately surrounding healthy tissue. The compressed static magnetic fields stimulate the immune system in the immediately surrounding healthy tissue which treats the damaged or abnormal tissue. The treated tissue fully regenerates without additional medical intervention. The devices provide for efficient exposure to compressed magnetic fields and ease of use at different locations on a body and different types of animal species.

A variety of wearable magnetic assemblies are provided that are configured to produce magnetic fields having high field magnitudes and/or high field gradients. These wearable magnetic assemblies are configured to exert forces on magnetic particles disposed in a portion of subsurface vasculature (e.g., a portion of the ulnar artery near the wrist) proximate to the magnetic assemblies. These magnetic assemblies include a plurality of dipolar permanent magnets. The forces can act to attract, slow, speed, separate, or otherwise influence the magnetic particles in various applications. In some embodiments, the magnetic particles are configured to bind to an analyte of interest. The collection, separation, and/or concentration of the magnetic particles can enable detection of one or more properties of the analyte, modification of the analyte, and/or extraction of the analyte bound to the magnetic particles.

Described are methods, devices, and systems for a novel, easy-to-use treatment for pain that does not involve medication. Methods and devices herein use repetitive magnetic fields that desensitize the spinal nerve, thereby affecting transmission of pain signals from the treatment location to the brain.

A device is dynamically programmable to generate at least a first magnetic field during a first time interval, and at least a second magnetic field during a second time interval thereby causing the particles exposed to the change in the magnetic field to aggregate to a target region. The device is further dynamically programmable to switch between the first and second magnetic fields for any number of cycles. Optionally, the device includes a multitude of conductors that receive a first current during the first time interval to generate the magnetic field, and a second multitude of conductors that receive a second current during the second time interval to generate the second magnetic field. The second multitude of conductors may be substantially parallel to the first multitude of conductors. A controller disposed within the device is adapted to vary the frequency of switching between the first and second magnetic fields.
