Abstract

An apparatus for treating a behavioral condition of an animal, including a loop coil; a signal generator coupled to the loop coil, the signal generator being configured to transmit a treatment signal through the loop coil; and a harness connected to one or more of the loop coil and the signal generator, the harness including one or more fasteners each configured to fasten to one or more of a neck and a forelimb joint of the animal to position the loop coil proximate a head of the animal, the treatment signal including a plurality of bursts having a peak amplitude of less than about 200 milliGauss, the plurality of bursts having an average duration of between about 0.5 msec and about 50 msec, and the plurality of bursts being repeated at between 0.01 and 100 Hz.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . An apparatus for treating a behavioral condition of an animal, said apparatus comprising:
 a loop coil;   a signal generator coupled to the loop coil, the signal generator being configured to transmit a treatment signal through the loop coil; and   a harness connected to one or more of the loop coil and the signal generator, the harness comprising one or more fasteners each configured to fasten to one or more of a neck and a forelimb joint of the animal to position the loop coil proximate a head of the animal,   wherein the treatment signal comprises a plurality of bursts having a peak amplitude of less than about 200 milliGauss,   wherein the plurality of bursts have an average duration of between about 0.5 msec and about 50 msec, and   wherein the plurality of bursts are repeated at between 0.01 and 100 Hz.   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of bursts comprise sinusoidal waves of between 15-40 MHz. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein the sinusoidal waves have a 27.12 MHz carrier frequency. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein a center of the loop coil is placed over a base of a skull of the animal when the harness is fastened to the animal. 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the treatment signal is emitted as a pulsed electromagnetic field through the loop coil. 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of bursts are repeated at approximately 7 Hz. 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the average duration of the plurality of bursts is approximately 2 ms. 
     
     
         8 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the peak amplitude is approximately 0.05 Gauss. 
     
     
         9 . A method for treating a behavioral condition of an animal, comprising:
 positioning a flexible coil wire applicator of a lightweight wearable or stationary pulsed EMF therapy device adjacent to a head of an animal to be treated; and   applying a treatment regime from the therapy device,   wherein the treatment regime comprises a plurality of bursts of an electromagnetic signal having a peak amplitude of less than about 200 milliGauss, wherein the plurality of bursts have an average duration of between about 0.5 msec and about 50 msec, and   wherein the plurality of bursts are repeated at between 0.01 and 100 Hz.   
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the plurality of bursts comprise sinusoidal waves of between 15-40 MHz. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein the sinusoidal waves have a 27.12 MHz carrier frequency. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the treatment regime has a treatment on-time of between about 5 minutes and 30 minutes, followed by a treatment off-time that is greater than about 30 minutes. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein the treatment on-time is 15 minutes. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein the treatment off-time is about 8 to 16 hours. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the positioning comprises placing a center of the coil wire applicator over a base of a skull of the animal. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the plurality of bursts are repeated at approximately 7 Hz. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the average duration of the plurality of bursts is approximately 2 ms. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the peak amplitude is approximately 0.05 Gauss.
