Abstract:
Methods and devices are disclosed for inducing analgesia in a localized region of tissue. Inducing analgesia may be performed by identifying a nerve associated with the localized region, determining a resonant frequency for target neuronal cell membranes of the nerve, and generating a peripheral nerve blockade using the determined resonant frequency. The resonant frequency may be a frequency at which impedance of the nerve approaches a maximum.

Claim (Index 14):
The method of  claim 13 , wherein the fully-rectified, time-variant waveform has a frequency of less than 3 kilohertz (kHz) such that the net macro-current across the membranes flows from outside the membranes of the target neurons to an axonal path within the nerve.
