Conventional anesthesia methods such as injective anesthetic agents may cause various
side effects such as injuries, allergies, and infections. We aim to investigate a noninvasive
scheme of an electromagnetic radiator system to block action potential (AP) in neuron fibers.
We achieved a high-gradient and unipolar tangential electric field by designing circular
geometric coils on an electric rectifier filter layer. An asymmetric sawtooth pulse shape
supplied the coils in order to create an effective blockage. The entire setup was placed 5 cm …
Conventional anesthesia methods such as injective anesthetic agents may cause various side effects such as injuries, allergies, and infections. We aim to investigate a noninvasive scheme of an electromagnetic radiator system to block action potential (AP) in neuron fibers. We achieved a high-gradient and unipolar tangential electric field by designing circular geometric coils on an electric rectifier filter layer. An asymmetric sawtooth pulse shape supplied the coils in order to create an effective blockage. The entire setup was placed 5 cm above 50 motor and sensory neurons of the spinal cord. A validated time-domain full-wave analysis code Based on cable model of the neurons and the electric and magnetic potentials is used to simulate and investigate the proposed scheme. We observed action potential blockage on both motor and sensory neurons. In addition, the introduced approach shows promising potential for AP manipulation in the spinal cord.
