Description
1~ 7~ 5 ELECTROTHER~PEUTIC APPARATUS
.
The present invention relates to an electrothera-peutic apparatus, more particularly, it relates to an elec-trotherapeutic apparatus which can be put around the head in order to iontophoretically accelerate the growth and regener-ation of hair.
As described in Japan Patent Kokai No.221,957/83, the present inventor has found that iontophoresis of an aminovinyl photosensitizing dye with a 0.5-2 Hz square wave current, superposed with a diphasic action potential, pulse width of 1/200-1/600 seconds and pulse interval of 1/20-1/300 seconds, is therapeutically effective against various alope-cia, e.g. areata, alopecia presenilis, etc.
For one treatment of this electrotherapy, the curren~ is applied for a relatively long duration, i.e.
thirty minutes, desirably, one hour. A handling-type elec-trotherapeutic apparatus as described in Japan Patent Kokai No.221,957/83 is unfavorable because a patient must hold the apparatus during the electrotherapy, which is very painful to the patient. Thus, the conventional apparatus does not give a satisfactory treatment.
Electric massages on the caput have similar ob-stacles, but no effective means has been proposed.
In order to overcome these demerits of the conven~
tional electrotherapeutic apparatus, the present inventor ~ . ~
~ 5~0 investigated various means. The present invent:ion is the result of the investigation.
More particularly, the present invention provides a novel electrotherapeutic apparatus comprising a chain of band-shaped moist-pad electrodes with a wide electrode plate;
a stretchable belt attached to both ends of the chain; and a low-frequency generator equipped on the outer side of either moist-pad electrode, wherein the low-frequency generator is electrically coupled with the moist-pad electrodes through output-controller, switch, etc., in such a manner that the negative electrode is larger in area than the positive elec-trode.
Embodiments of the present invention will herein-after be described, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG.l shows a front elevation of an embodiment according to the invention, FIG.2 shows a top plan view of the embodiment, FIG.3 shows the waveforms of a low-frequency gener-ator suitable for the electrotherapeutic apparatus according to the invention, FIG.4 shows a wiring diagram of an embodiment according to the invention.
Throughout the accompanying drawings, (1) indicates band-shaped electrode; (2), electrode plate of band-shaped ~3~ ~ ~ 7~
electrode (l); (3), cover; (4), connecting member; (5), stretchable belt; (6) and (7), low-frequency generator; A, oscillator circuit; B, battery; Rc, variable resistance; and S, switch.
As shown in FIGs.l and 2, electrode (1) is band-shaped, and, on its inner side, equipped with wide electrode plate (2). Electrode plate (2) is backed by cover (3) of an absorbent material, such as sponge, to form a moist-pad electrode structure. Plural band-shaped electrodes, e.g.
electrodes (1'), ~1'') and (1''') as particularly shown in FIGs.l and 2, are rotatably connected in chain with a suit-able connecting member (4). Stretchable belt (5) is equipped on both ends of the chain of electrodes (1'), (1'') and (1''') in order to press them on the patient's forehead. The inner side of band-shaped electrode (1) is inwardly curved, or covered with a flexible material to conform it to the forehead.
Low-frequency generator (6) (7) is equipped on the outer side of either band-shaped electrode (1'), (1'') or (1'''). Low-frequency generator (6) (7) is construc~ed with oscillator circuit, battery, power switch, current reversing switch, variable resistance as output controller, etc. For example, battery B and power switch S are placed within low-frequency generator (6), while oscillator circuit A and variable resistance Rc as the output controller are placed ~ 7~ 5~0 within low-frequency generator (7). F.xamples of oscillator circuits feasible in the invention include conventional oscillator circuits, e.g. blocking oscillator circuit, multi-vibrator circuit, etc., which generates and charges a square wave, pulse wave, sine wave, semicircular wave, triangular wave, or an exponential wave between dispersive- and active-electrodes.
A specific low-frequency generator, as particularly shown in FIG.4, is favorable in the invention. This low-lb frequency generator is composed of an oscillator circuitgenerating a diphasic action potential, pulse width of 1/600-1/200 seconds and pulse interval of 1/300-1/20 seconds, as shown in FIG.3(a), and another oscillator circuit generating a 0.5-2 Hz positive square wave current as shown in FIG.~(b), and the generated diphasic action potential and square wave current are superposed within the low-frequency generator in a manner as shown in FIG.3(c). The electrotherapeutic appar-atus bearing such low-frequency generator advantageously promotes the metabolism of the scalp and restoration of fa-tigue, as well as accelerating -the growth and regeneration of hair.
In an embodiment as shown i.n FIG.l, band-shaped electrodes (1'), (1'') and (1''') are connected to low-fre-quency generator A through power switch S, variable resis-tance Rc as the output controller, etc., in such a manner that two of the electrodes form a negative electrode larger ~ ~ ~O 53 O
in area than the positive electrode. The area ratio of the negative electrode to the positive electrode is generally several-folds, desirably, 2 5-folds. The use of such nega-tive electrode as the dispersive electrode gives a much lower current density on the patient's skin, as well as remarkably decreasing the undesirable stimulation caused by the disper-sive electrode.
In order to accelerate the growth and regeneration of hair, an about 10-1,000 ppm aqueous alcoholic solution of an aminovinyl photosensitizing dye, a hair growth and hair regeneration accelerator, e.g. 6-[2-[(5-bromo-2-pyridyl) amino] vinyl]-l-ethyl-2-picolinium iodide (Kankoh-so No.301), or 2-(2-anilinovinyl)-3,4-dimethyl-oxazolium iodide (Kankoh-so No.401), both products of Japanese Research Institute for Photosensitizing Dyes Co., Ltd., Okayama, Japan, is applied on the area of the patient's scalp to be treated, or absorbed within active electrode (5~. The apparatus is put around the patient's head in such a manner that active electrode (5) is pressed on the area, and the low-frequency current is then applied to the scalp to effect iontophoresis of the amino-vinyl photosensitizing dye. Similarly, the growth and reger-ation of eyeblow can be effectively accelerated.
To promote the metabolism of the scalp and/or restoration of fatigue by electric massage, the dispersive-and active-electrodes are immersed in water or an aqueous solution containing a small amount of an electrolyte, after ~Z7~S30 which a desirable low-frequency current is charged to the area of the scalp to be treated or to a suitable "keiketsu"
in the scalp.
In either case, a long-term electrotherapy free of a painful handling can be carried out with the electrothera-peutic apparatus according to the invention because the apparatus is put on the head. Thus, an electrotherapy, e.g.
acceleration of the growth and regeneration of hair, promo-tion of metabolism, or electric massage, can be much more easily attained in comparison with the case of using conven-tional electrotherapeutic apparatus.
In addition, since in the electrotherapeutic appar-atus of the invention the area of the dispersive electrode is larger than that of the active electrode, the current density on the skin is lowered, and undesirable stimulation by the dispersive is extremely decreased. Thus, a long-term elec trotherapy can be comfortably carried out.
Furthermore, band-shaped electrodes of the same shape and material can be used as the dispersive- or active-electrode(s). Thus, by using unit-type electrodes devised to be freely connected and disconnected, the numbers, areas, and/or area rat:io of the dispersive- and active-electrodes can be freely varied in rela~ion to the area of the skin to be treated.
