Abstract
A pulsed electromagnetic field method of treating a soft tissue wound, wherein, in one embodiment, a patient in need of treatment for a soft tissue wound is administered a pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) having repetitive pulse bursts less than approximately 30 ms in duration, with a pulse burst repetition rate greater than approximately 5 Hz, the pulse bursts generated with a drive signal including pulses each having a first-polarity portion with a pulse width less than 1 ms and a second-polarity portion with a shorter pulse width, the electromagnetic field having a maximum amplitude less than approximately 4 mT and rising to its maximum amplitude during the first-polarity portion. According to another aspect of the invention, a soft tissue wound is treated by administering a pulsed electromagnetic field having substantially unipolar magnetic field pulses generated with a drive signal including a series of pulses each having a first-polarity portion with a pulse width less than 1 ms and a second-polarity portion with a longer pulse width, the electromagnetic field having a maximum amplitude less than 4 mT and rising to its maximum amplitude during the first-polarity portion.
