Description

M259593 IV. Creation Instructions (1) [The new case belongs to a simple, wearable electrical stimulation device [prior art] Technical field of acupuncture and moxibustion] About an electrical stimulation device, especially about a structure that is free to align automatically The automatic wearing of biological acupuncture points to six and Wendi's internal classics are summarized by Huang Di's body surface. Meridians. Human movements, balance, or imbalance, when the plant warp is stabbed by the national current, it must be replenished. The reaction and anatomy of the Book of Classics are in the human body. Qiwei is caused by an overbalanced symptom, that is, the electric current is used to stimulate the internal and external points of acupuncture points. Such as "electricity transmission is derived from the early human use of stone tools to the human body. The historical record of massage was first seen in the book "Huang, two thousand years ago, which is the accumulation and integration of ancestors through countless experiences. It depicts the whole body meridian map of the human body. The source does not go out, and the experience of inductive conduction such as acupuncture. Observation of physiological characteristics of acupuncture points, etc., long-term experience accumulated in several aspects, the internal movement of the human body is excessive, and it will be debilitating. " To the Zhiliu needle, "Qi is the turn of the body and the feeling of losing the body. If it is lost." It is the passage where the person who walks is the meridian, and the person who walks is the "qi". Traditional medicine treats the symptoms caused by the state of balance, such as loss of yin and yang, too negative or solar sex, and can also improve this unbalanced state to restore effective treatment techniques that mimic acupuncture. R & D is still ongoing. With strength ’, when the body is too prosperous, it ’s necessary to declare it, too. Stimulation is a stabbing treatment for lower back pain by researchers at the University of Texas

Page 5 M259593 IV. Creative Instructions (2)-The treatment technology developed by the patient. Patients receiving current acupuncture will feel a light touch, similar to raindrops on the body, someone will feel a light tap on the back, or a gentle massage. The results of the study showed that patients with lower back pain responded well to the current acupuncture, the pain discomfort was greatly reduced, and some people could even move freely again. According to the research report of the "Acupuncture Stimulation" of the University of Texas, according to a report of the "Journal of the American Medical Association", the electric current passed on can stimulate nerve fibers and release a signal to relieve pain, just like the endorphins Fen. In recent years, the treatment methods derived from the theory of acupuncture have gradually increased, such as electroacupuncture, ear acupuncture, ultrasonic moxibustion, laser acupuncture, and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS; Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve).

Stimulation) and acupoint percutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (al — tens;

Acupuncture-like Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve

Stimulation), etc., of which acupoint percutaneous electrical nerve stimulation therapy (AL-TENS) is a method of using skin surface electrodes to stimulate the current, which has a good effect on chronic pain. It is almost the same as the theory of acupuncture. T E N S, also known as a transcutaneous electronic nerve stimulator, dates back to the days when ancient Roman physicians used electric eels to treat patients' headaches and arthritis. This device is already a legal electronic medical device in the clinical evaluation category for pain relief. TENS and AL-TENS are also a way to adjust the pain sensation by applying electric current stimulation on the skin surface electrodes. The biggest difference between rainers is the difference in the location of the stimulus and the choice of intensity and frequency. Among them, the stimulus position of T E N S is at the pain point (τ r i g g e r p o i π t), and A L-T E N S is combined with traditional Chinese medicine theory, and the stimulus is selected.

M259593 Fourth, the creation instructions (3) choose the treatment point (Acuρ〇 in t) of the relative disease. a means Λ_ Dan, the stimulation of Ding ENS is mainly based on the low frequency of the south frequency ', while the stimulation of AL-TENS is based on the low frequency direction of the strength. In recent years, the research of scholars φ a v | eight * γ has confirmed the analgesic effect of AL-TENS. Moreover, the literature has pointed out that the effect of acupuncture on acupoints is even better than stimulation of pain points. In terms of intensity selection, it is also pointed out that no matter whether it is TENS or AL-TENS stimulation, high-intensity (the maximum intensity that patients can accept) can produce a better therapeutic effect. In any case, whether it is the application of TENS or AL-TENS and the theory of Liangdaoluo, although it is more convenient than traditional acupuncture and electroacupuncture, there are still many shortcomings in its use and health care. The first is the difficulty of acupoint selection. Traditional Acupoint selection during acupuncture and electroacupuncture is usually performed by a doctor, so few acupoint selection errors or inaccuracies occur. However, electrical stimulators, TENS, etc. for general civilians often fail to achieve certain results when receiving treatment. The second is that the treatment parameters are unknown. The average person's use of household electrical stimulators is often "where the pain is, where the electricity is", and the proper stimulation position is not selected. It may not have a good therapeutic effect, but only for massage. ^ Even though acupuncture does have a certain rapid effect in the treatment, for Xu Er who is afraid of the needle, he is unwilling to accept the pain caused by acupuncture; ^ m remains to be solved. Another problem is that at present, there are up to four electrode patches attached to the j-moxibustion state in the city. It is not easy for users to align the acupuncture points themselves, and the electrode patches have a reduced viscosity and are difficult to be fixed after use. It must be purchased and used inconveniently. Chinese Mainland Announced Patent No. η 8 4 6 8 0 on June 17, 198

Creation instructions (4) "Body mask with therapeutic electrode" is a body mask with a swimwear-like shape, which depicts many nerve wires according to the distribution of nerves and the direction of nerve lines or meridian points, including Seven cervical nerve plexuses, five lumbar nerve plexuses, and four sacral nerve plexuses are coated with a conductive material, and a current is applied after the wear to stimulate the current along the nerve line. The patent is troublesome to wear, and because the body shape is different, the meridians are in a stripe direction. It is almost impossible for the multiple nerve lines on the body film to overlap the actual meridian in the stripe direction of the body. Moreover, for acupuncture treatment, it is mainly to take specific points, so it should stimulate a specific six, and not the entire meridian, but the patent violates this principle, even if it assumes that each nerve line on its body membrane coat It can overlap with the meridian of the human body, and it is impossible to have good treatment results. Similar to the disadvantage of the aforementioned patent that it is not easy to align the acupuncture points, the National Announcement No. 3 6 3 4 1 4 "Head Yan Acupoint Locator" is provided with many small holes in the hood according to the acupoint map. . However, each person's head shape, size, square, etc. are different. How can they be aligned to six positions? Therefore, the above problems need to be improved.
