A3
Abstract:
A system for introducing vibrational waves into a body of a subject to treat sleep disorders is provided. The system includes a bed frame having a first vibration contact and a second vibration contact. The first vibration contact is in mechanical communication with a first location of the body of the subject, and the second vibration contact is in mechanical communication with a second location of the body of the subject. A first vibration source is connected to the first vibration contact and configured to cause a first vibration of the first vibration contact. A second vibration source is connected to the second vibration contact and configured to cause a second vibration of the second vibration contact.
