Abstract
High‐intensity pulsed magnetic stimulation (HIPMS) non‐invasively depolarizes neurones, which can be deeply embedded in local tissues. Trans‐ or subcutaneous electrical stimulation can produce analgesia. To test the hypothesis that similar analgesia could be obtained using HIPMS, analgesia was determined in ten blinded subjects following HIPMS. Analgesia was consistently produced in all subjects with long‐lasting pain relief occurring in half of the cases. ©1993 Wiley‐Liss. Inc.Keywords
