    摘要: Device and methods for enhancing visual appearance by muscle contracts are provided herein. The device may include a capacitor, a first applicator with a first magnetic field generating coil, a second applicator with a second magnetic field generating coil, a first switch to discharge energy from the capacitor to the first magnetic field generating coil to generate a first time-varying magnetic field, and a second switch to discharge energy from the capacitor to the second magnetic field generating coil to generate a second time-varying magnetic field. The magnetic field generating coils may be spaced apart from the casings to allow cooling media to flow. The time-varying magnetic fields may have a plurality of pulses with biphasic impulses, and when applied to a muscle in a body region, the muscle is contracted. The body region may be a buttock, an abdomen, arms, or thighs.

    摘要: Systems and methods are provided for modulating one or more nerves within patients. A method comprises generating a signal comprising an electrical impulse and contacting an interface with an outer skin surface of a patient. The electrical impulse is delivered from one or more electrode(s) through the interface and the outer skin surface of the patient to a vagus nerve, thereby modulating the vagus nerve sufficiently to treat a medical condition. The one or more electrode(s) are spaced from the interface by a distance of about 0.25 to about 4 times an outer dimension of the interface.

    摘要: A magnetic stimulation system may include first and second subsystems. The first subsystem may include a first stimulator, a first coil, and a first processor configured to determine stimulation parameter data for a subject. The second subsystem may include a second stimulator, a headpiece including an identifier and a second coil mounted to a headpiece body at a fixed location, an image recording device, and a second processor configured to: receive first image data for one or more first images of the subject and headpiece; receive, from the image recording device, second image data for one or more second images of the subject and headpiece; determine, using the first and second image data, that the stimulation parameter data corresponds to the subject; determine, using the second image data, that the headpiece corresponds to the subject; and determine, using the second image data, that the headpiece is at a pre-determined position.

    摘要: Photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) can be applied to a dystrophic muscle to delay dystrophy progression. A light source device can be contacted to a subject's skin proximal to a dystrophic muscle or muscle group. A light signal (with wavelengths from the red to infrared part of the spectrum) can be applied in at least one of a pulsed operating mode, a continuous operating mode, and a super-pulsed operating mode through the light source device to the dystrophic muscle or muscle group. The light signal is applied for a time sufficient to stimulate a phototherapeutic response in the dystrophic muscle or muscle group.

    摘要: A central nervous magnetic stimulation device and a healthcare or medical instrument, wherein the device comprises a power source, a control circuit and a coil component, the control circuit comprising a main control chip and a main circuit, the power source supplying power to the control circuit, and the control circuit outputting a time-varying current to the coil component to generate a corresponding time-varying magnetic field. The area of the time-varying magnetic field matches with the size of a head, and the time-varying current is output at a frequency above 2000 Hz, and constitutes a string of rhythmic cluster-like bursts at an appropriate duty ratio or forms an envelope in a difference frequency way to output rhythm characteristics. The device can apply to the brain a magnetic stimulation with a weak intensity and high-frequency carrier wave, rhythmic cluster-like bursts and an approximately uniform magnetic field intensity distribution.
