Abstract: A magnetic field generator device includes a signal generator capable of operating within predetermined parameters, an attenuator is connected to the signal generator and to helmholtz coils to transmit and attenuate the signal from the generator to the coils to generate a predetermined desired magnetic field. A method of treating patients having numerous conditions provides for subjecting the patients, patient portions and/or targets therein, to the magnetic fields which are set in accordance with the characteristics of the patient, patient portion and/or target to be treated.

Abstract: A pacifier system and method of therapeutically treating premature infants to reinforce non-nutritive sucking is disclosed. A pacifier is connected to a pressure transducer. The pressure tranducer serves to detect sucking intensity and time of sucking. The pacifier system activates a sound source, such as a music source, upon sucking of a minimum intensity being detected for a minimum period of time.
