It is reported that magnetic stimulation is efficacious in treating urinary incontinence. Magnetic stimulation has two main advantages over electrical stimulation: it can be applied without removal of clothes, and it involves little pain. However, the distribution of current in the living body is not clearly known. We therefore attempted to create a computer simulation model of the female abdomen and to simulate the distribution of induced current on the basis of tissue conductivity. This report compares electrical with magnetic stimulation.
