Abstract
One aspect of the present disclosure relates a system that can employ micromagnetic stimulation to activate and/or suppress conduction in at least a portion of a peripheral nerve. The system can include a stimulator to provide a time-varying stimulus. The system can also include a microcoil that can be operatively coupled to the stimulator to receive the time-varying stimulus. Based on the time-varying stimulus, the microcoil can provide an electromagnetic induction to the peripheral nerve to activate and/or suppress conduction.
