Abstract:
1. A system for providing therapy to a subject, the system comprising: a body including a first runner and a second runner, wherein the first runner is arranged in a first helical shape, wherein the body is arranged in a toroidal shape having a centroid, wherein the centroid is configured to be arranged at or near at least one of the subject and a body part of the subject; a first wire wound around the first runner of the body such that the first wire is arranged in a second helical shape formed around the first helical shape of the runner, wherein the first wire is conductive; a second wire wound around the second runner, wherein the second wire is conductive; two leads of the first wire configured to be electrically coupled with one or more current sources to receive a first current through the first wire along the first runner; and two leads of the second wire configured to be electrically coupled with the one or more current sources to receive a second current through the second wire along the second runner, wherein the second runner is arranged in a third helical shape that is intertwined with the first helical shape, wherein the first runner and second runner are arranged in a shape of a double helix, wherein the second wire is arranged in a fourth helical shape formed around the third helical shape of the second runner, wherein the first helical shape, the second helical shape, the third helical shape, and the fourth helical shape have the same handedness, wherein the first current and the second current create an electromagnetic field at or near the centroid that provides therapy to the subject.
