Electromagnetic stimulation device for changing nerve threshold
First Claim
1. A pain management method of an electromagnetic stimulation device, wherein the electromagnetic stimulation device has at least a positive electrode and at least a negative electrode, and the positive and negative electrodes are separated by a first distance, the operation method comprising:
- positioning the electromagnetic stimulation device, which is at least at a second distance away from a nerve, wherein the second distance is a minimum linear distance between the electromagnetic stimulation device and the nerve, and the second distance is no more than 10 mm; and
applying a preset voltage to the positive and negative electrodes so that an electromagnetic field covering and stimulating the nerve is produced between the positive and negative electrodes,wherein the preset voltage is no more than 10V and has a frequency between 200 KHz and 800 KHz.

Abstract
The electromagnetic stimulation device contains at least a positive electrode and at least a negative electrode. An insulating gap having width of a first distance is maintained between the positive and negative electrodes. The positive and negative electrodes are at least at a second distance away from a nerve to be stimulated. A preset voltage is applied to the positive and negative electrodes so that a low-power, low-temperature, high-frequency electromagnetic field covering and stimulating the nerve is produced between the positive and negative electrodes. By the stimulation of the low-power, low-temperature, high-frequency electromagnetic field, the nerve'"'"'s threshold is increased, the nerve'"'"'s transmission capability is reduced, and therefore the nerve pain is effectively eased.
