The pulsed electromagnetic fields were directed to the wrist. The model used has the form of a bracelet called Quantum MH-2MR which uses, as a source of power, an alkaline battery of 1.5 volts connected to an electronic circuit formed by two hybrid circuits of magnetic oscillation and a control system of all the generating frequency system.
The sham machines were identical to the machines in actual operation in both phases of the study. The only difference was that the hybrid circuits crucial for the generation of the electromagnetic field had been removed.
