1. A method of treating peripheral nerve pain in a patient in need thereof using transcutaneous magnetic stimulation (tMS), comprising the steps of:
positioning a tMS stimulator at a therapeutic position adjacent a target area of a human body experiencing peripheral nerve pain, the tMS stimulator comprising at least one insulated magnetic coil, a capacitor bank of up to 2200 uF energy storage capacity, and a control module configured to control the tMS stimulator to deliver a specified pulse rate and magnetic strength; and
controlling the control module to cause the tMS stimulator to deliver a low frequency magnetic field pulse to the target area, wherein the low frequency magnetic field pulse comprises up to approximately 3 Tesla with 20 kTesla/sec. of instantaneous flux within a frequency range of approximately 0.2 Hz to 5 Hz.
