Treatment of autoimmune diseases using alternating electric fields to reduce T cell proliferation

摘要

A disorder caused by an autoimmune disease may place multiple electrodes in the body or body surface of the subject and apply an alternating electric field through the inflow region lymph node associated with tissue and / or tissue associated with the autoimmune disease By applying AC voltage between the plurality of electrodes, it can be prevented or minimized.The frequency and electric field strength of the alternating electric field is selected to inhibit the proliferation of T cells in tissue up to a degree that reduces the disorder caused by autoimmune disease.
