A system for delivering magnetic stimulation to a subject that has a magnetic stimulation coil, a power source, and a patient-positioning device is provided. The magnetic stimulation coil is movably connected to patient-positioning device for fixably positioning the magnetic stimulation coil to stimulate a region of a subject and electrically connected to the power source. A cooling system maintains the magnetic stimulation coil between a temperature of about 5° C. and about 40° C. during operation of the coil for a period of at least 90 minutes. An attachment site for a second magnetic stimulation coil is provided, and the second magnetic stimulation coil is optionally movably connected to the patient-positioning device for positioning the second magnetic stimulation coil independently of the first magnetic stimulation coil to provide a combination delivery of magnetic stimulation to a second region of the subject. |
