Abstract

The invention is directed to the use of magnetic field designed pulses for the diagnoses and classification of severity of disease states and disability in humans and animals.

Claims (44)

1. A method for diagnosing a disease condition in a subject comprising:

exposing the subject to a complex neuro-electro magnetic pulse (Cnps) for a period of time effective to produce a change in a physiological function;

evaluating or assessing the change; and

diagnosing a presence of the disease condition based on the evaluation or assessment of the change;

wherein the pulse is non-therapeutic for the disease condition.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein said complex neuro-electro magnetic pulse (Cnps) is targeted to a specific body part or tissue.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein said complex neuro-electro magnetic pulse (Cnps) is selected to affect a specific physiological function.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein said physiological function is a motor function or a cognitive function.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein said disease condition is a peripheral disorder.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein said peripheral disorder is rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, muscular dystrophy or general pain.

7. The method of claim 3 , wherein the physiological function is balance.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the disease condition is diagnosed to be either rheumatoid arthritis or fibromyalgia.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein said method is used to diagnose disability.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein a change in the physiological function is assessed objectively or subjectively.

11. A method for diagnosing or assessing a disease condition in a subject comprising:

exposing said subject simultaneously to a complex neuro-electro magnetic pulse (Cnps) and a first prescribed light intensity and frequency distribution while monitoring a physiological function;

exposing said subject a second time simultaneously to said complex neuro-electro magnetic pulse (Cnps) and a different light intensity of the same or different frequency distribution as said first prescribed light intensity while monitoring the physiological function;

evaluating or assessing a change in the physiological function; and

diagnosing a presence of the disease condition based on the evaluation or assessment of the change in the physiological function;

wherein the pulse is non-therapeutic for the disease condition.

12. A method for the diagnosing or assessing of a disease condition in a subject comprising:

exposing said subject to a first complex neuro-electro magnetic pulse (Cnps) while monitoring a physiological function;

exposing said subject a second time to a second selected complex neuro-electro magnetic pulse (Cnps) while monitoring the physiological function;

evaluating or assessing a change in the physiological function; and

diagnosing presence of the disease condition based on the evaluation or assessment of the change;

wherein at least one of the first pulse and the second pulse is non-therapeutic for the disease condition.

13. A method for diagnosing a disease condition in a subject comprising:

evaluating a physiological function that is not a symptom of the disease condition in a subject;

exposing said subject to a selected complex neuro-electro magnetic pulse (Cnps);

evaluating or assessing a change in the physiological function; and

diagnosing the presence of the disease condition based on the evaluation or assessment of the change in the physiological function;

wherein the pulse is non-therapeutic for the disease condition.

14. A method for diagnosing a disease condition in a subject comprising:

exposing said subject simultaneously to two or more selected complex neuro-electro magnetic pulses (Cnps) while monitoring at least one physiological function;

evaluating or assessing a change in the at least one physiological function; and

diagnosing presence of the disease condition based on the evaluation or assessment of the change in the physiological function;

wherein the pulses are non-therapeutic for the disease condition.

15. The method of any one of claims 11 , 12 , 13 or 14 , wherein said complex neuro-electro magnetic pulse (Cnps) is targeted to a specific body part or tissue.

16. The method of any one of claims 11 , 12 , 13 or 14 , wherein said complex neuro-electro magnetic pulse (Cnps) is selected to affect a specific physiological function.

17. The method of claim 16 , wherein said physiological function is a motor function or a cognitive function.

18. The method of claim 17 , wherein said disease condition is a peripheral disorder.

19. The method of claim 18 , wherein said peripheral disorder is rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, muscular dystrophy or general pain.

20. The method of any one of claims 11 , 12 , 13 or 14 , wherein said method is used to diagnose a disability.

21. The method of any one of claims 11 , 12 , 13 or 14 , wherein a change in the physiological function is assessed objectively or subjectively.
