A method and system for altering or modifying a function of neural tissue in a patient. An electromagnetic signal is applied to the neural tissue through an electrode. The electromagnetic signal has a frequency component above the physiological stimulation frequency range and an intensity sufficient to produce an alteration of the neural tissue and a waveform that produces non- lethal temperature elevation of the neural tissue during application of the electromagnetic signal to the neural tissue.

L'invention concerne un procédé et un système pour la modification d'une fonction de tissu nerveux chez un patient. On applique un signal électromagnétique au tissu nerveux par l'intermédiaire d'une électrode. La composante de fréquence du signal est supérieure à la gamme de fréquences de stimulation physiologique et l'intensité est suffisante pour induire une modification du tissu nerveux et former des ondes entraînant une élévation de température non mortelle dans ce tissu, pendant l'application du signal.
