Magnetic neural stimulation systems are medical devices designed to treat or diagnose neurological, psychiatric, and cognitive disorders by delivering controlled magnetic pulses to the brain or peripheral nerves. Clinically, they’re used for conditions like depression, chronic pain, or cognitive impairments, often as a non-invasive alternative to traditional therapies.
These systems typically include an electromagnet, control unit, and sometimes a patient chair, with some versions incorporating cognitive training tools. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they’re generally classified based on their intended use and risk level, often requiring compliance with safety and performance standards for electromagnetic devices.
