1. A device for selectively applying energy to a target region in a patient, the device comprising:

  • a power source configured to generate a magnetic field outside of the patient;

    a housing containing an enclosed coil and an electrically conductive fluid surrounding at least a portion of the enclosed coil; and

    wherein the enclosed coil is configured to transmit the magnetic field through an outer skin surface of the patient such that the magnetic field induces an electric current at a nerve at the target region within the patient, the electric current being sufficient to modulate the nerve.
