Abstract
A device for safely relieving pain in a human or animal includes a pair of pads for placing against a body at spaced apart locations, e.g. on the front and back of an abdomen for treating back pain. One of the pads has an electrically conductive layer, e.g. aluminum foil for placing against the body where treatment is required, and the other pad includes an electrically conductive core sandwiched between insulating layers. The electrically conductive layer and the core are connected to the electrodes of a dry cell or other source of direct current, whereby a direct current is caused to flow between the body and the electrically conducting layer.
Claims (9)
1. A device for relieving pain in a human or animal body comprising:
a first flexible pad including a thin, flexible electrically conductive layer for placing against an area of a body experiencing pain a second flexible pad for placing against another area of a body spaced apart from said one area, said second pad including a thin, flexible electrically conductive core sandwiched between flexible insulating layers, whereby the core is completely surrounded by said insulating layers;
a direct current electrical power source having positive and negative electrodes; and electrical conductors connecting said conductive layer of the first pad to said positive electrode and said core to said negative electrode, whereby direct current is caused to flow through the area of a body experiencing pain.
a first flexible pad including a thin, flexible electrically conductive layer for placing against an area of a body experiencing pain a second flexible pad for placing against another area of a body spaced apart from said one area, said second pad including a thin, flexible electrically conductive core sandwiched between flexible insulating layers, whereby the core is completely surrounded by said insulating layers;
a direct current electrical power source having positive and negative electrodes; and electrical conductors connecting said conductive layer of the first pad to said positive electrode and said core to said negative electrode, whereby direct current is caused to flow through the area of a body experiencing pain.
2. The device of claim 1, wherein said conductive layer of said first pad and said core of said second pad are formed of a conductive metal from the group which include aluminum, copper, silver, gold, and platinum, or non-metal conductors, and alloys or mixtures thereof.
3. The device of claim 1 or 2, wherein said first pad includes an electrically insulating backing layer bonded to said conductive layer.
4. The device of claim 3, wherein said backing layer of said first pad, and said insulating layers of said second pad are formed of a material selected from the group consisting of plastic, latex, duct tape, fabric, cloth, leather, rubber, nylon, and paper
5. The device of claim 1, 2 or 3, wherein said power source has a constant direct current voltage.
6. The device of claim 3, wherein said conductive layer of said first pad and said core of said second pad are formed of aluminum foil.
7. The device of any of claims 1 to 4, including a plurality of first pads electrically connected to said power source; and a single second pad connected to said power source.
8.The device of claim 7, wherein said backing layer of said first pad and said insulating layers of said second pad are formed of vinyl.
9. The device of any of claims 1 to 8, wherein said first and second pads are attached to a belt in spaced apart relationship to each other, whereby, when the belt is attached to a body, the first and second pads are opposed to each other on opposite sides of the body.
