We are using an extracorporeal magnetic stimulation chair with two magnetic stimulators, one under the seat and one in the backrest, that generate the magnetic field. The treatment lasts for 30 minutes and has 5 steps. Each step has a defined duration and a defined frequency of magnetic field pulsations. In each step, it is also defined, which of the magnetic field generators are working. The pulsations last for 6 seconds followed by 6 seconds of rest. Step 1: 10Hz, 7 minutes, 6 seconds on, 6 seconds off, both stimulators generate the magnetic field. Step 2: 10Hz, 4 minutes, the stimulator under the seat generates the magnetic field. Step 3: 10Hz, 7 minutes, the stimulator in the backrest generates the magnetic field. Step 4: 30Hz, 10 minutes, both stimulators generate the magnetic field. Step 5: After 5 minutes, both stimulators generate the magnetic field. During the treatment, we adjusted the magnetic field density. It varied from 2-100%. The maximum was 3 Teslas.
We are using extracorporeal magnetic stimulation, a chair with two magnetic stimulators, one under the seat and one in the backrest, that generate the magnetic field. The treatment lasts for 30 minutes and has 5 steps. We used the same program as in the active group with the difference that the magnetic field density was always at 2% so the effects of the pulsating are negligible.
