Abstract
Electromagnetic stimulation for treating diseases, conditions associated with diseases and/or inhibiting pain with reduced side effects and associated systems and methods are disclosed. In particular embodiments, high-frequency stimulation in the range of from about 1.5 kHz to about 100 kHz may be applied to a patient's target tissue region to treat the disease, associated condition and/or to inhibit pain. Electrical stimulation in accordance with similar parameters can directly affect a cellular membrane, such as a neuron and in particular, a spontaneously active neuron and/or a quiescent neuron.
