Les techniques d'origine extrême-orientale pour le traitement de diverses pathologies, généralement de douleurs de type aigu, par stimulation de points spécifiques du corps au moyen d'aiguilles, connues depuis des siècles, ont donné lieu, 5 plus récemment en Occident à des études de substitution, à la stimulation par aiguilles, d'autres types de stimulations tels que des vibrations mécaniques, un courant électrique continu, des aimants permanents, la piezo-électricité ou le laser, avec plus The techniques of Far Eastern origin for the treatment of various pathologies, generally of acute pain, by stimulation of specific points of the body by means of needles, known for centuries, have given rise, more recently in the West. substitution studies, stimulation by needles, other types of stimulation such as mechanical vibrations, direct electric current, permanent magnets, piezoelectricity or laser, with more
ou moins de succès.or less successful.
La présente invention concerne un nouveau mode de stimulation, ayant conduit à des résultats très spectaculaires, The present invention relates to a new mode of stimulation, having led to very spectacular results,
ainsi qu'à un appareillage pour sa mise en oeuvre. as well as an apparatus for its implementation.
L'invention repose sur la constatation que des effets, principalement antalgiques comparables à ceux obtenus avec des 15 aiguilles, sont obtenus par stimulation des points d'acupuncture au moyen d'ondes électromagnétiques de faible puissance et de longueur d'onde très basse, et notamment d'une onde hyperfréquence sinusoidale d'une longueur d'onde de l'ordre de 3 cm. L'invention vise donc un appareil de traitement de divers états pathologiques par stimulation des points d'acupuncture, se composant d'une part d'un générateur de micro-ondes fonctionnant à une fréquence de l'ordre de 10 gigahertz, et d'autre part d'une The invention is based on the observation that effects, mainly analgesics comparable to those obtained with needles, are obtained by stimulation of the acupuncture points by means of electromagnetic waves of low power and of very low wavelength, and in particular of a sinusoidal microwave with a wavelength of the order of 3 cm. The invention therefore relates to an apparatus for treating various pathological conditions by stimulation of acupuncture points, consisting on the one hand of a microwave generator operating at a frequency of the order of 10 gigahertz, and other part of a
antenne d'application.application antenna.
Selon diverses modalités d'application de l'invention, il According to various methods of applying the invention, it
est prévu de moduler l'onde émise par ce générateur, en fonction de l'emplacement en profondeur du point à stimuler, de coupler deux modulateurs en vue de stimuler deux points en alternance, et de modifier l'applicateur de manière à stimuler non plus des 30 points isolés mais des zones plus étendues. it is planned to modulate the wave emitted by this generator, depending on the deep location of the point to be stimulated, to couple two modulators in order to stimulate two points alternately, and to modify the applicator so as to no longer stimulate 30 isolated points but larger areas.
Comme source d'alimentation des applicateurs, on peut utiliser un oscillateur classique tel que celui commercialisé par NEC sous la désignation MC 5808, délivrant une fréquence de 10,750 Ghz d'une grande stabilité, et dont le pourcentage de 35 puissance pouvant pénétrer dans le corps humain est-de l'ordre de As a power source for the applicators, it is possible to use a conventional oscillator such as that marketed by NEC under the designation MC 5808, delivering a frequency of 10,750 Ghz of great stability, and the percentage of power of which can penetrate into the body. human is around
à 20%.at 20%.
Cette puissance est de l'ordre de 1 à quelques mW, et il This power is of the order of 1 to a few mW, and it
est apparu avantageux de pulser l'énergie envoyée vers le point d'acupuncture plutôt que de le stimuler par une énergie continue. appeared advantageous to pulse the energy sent to the acupuncture point rather than to stimulate it by a continuous energy.

Au surplus c'est par ce moyen qu'en utilisant deux stimulateurs pulsés en opposition de phase on peut envoyer l'énergie en alternance sur l'une et l'autre partie du corps et cela à Furthermore, it is by this means that by using two pulsed stimulators in phase opposition one can send the energy alternately to one and the other part of the body and this to
fréquence réglable.adjustable frequency.
Comme applicateur, on utilise de préférence selon l'invention, comme indiqué plus haut, un cable coaxial semirigide, constitué par un conducteur extérieur enveloppant un conducteur central avec interposition d'un isolant, de préférence du polytétrafluoroéthylène dans lequel se propage l'énergie 10 électromagnétique, le conducteur central comportant une portion dénudée dépassant la face frontale du cable, sur une longueur de l'ordre de 0,5 mm en constituant ainsi une antenne monopole As an applicator, use is preferably made, according to the invention, as indicated above, of a semi-rigid coaxial cable, constituted by an external conductor enveloping a central conductor with the interposition of an insulator, preferably polytetrafluoroethylene in which the energy is propagated. electromagnetic, the central conductor comprising a stripped portion extending beyond the front face of the cable, over a length of the order of 0.5 mm, thus constituting a monopole antenna
réalisant l'adaptation entre le cable et le patient. realizing the adaptation between the cable and the patient.
De préférence au moins l'extrémité de cet applicateur 15 subit un placage d'argent, assurant une meilleure conductivité, Preferably at least the end of this applicator 15 undergoes silver plating, ensuring better conductivity,
ce qui améliore le passage de l'énergie. which improves the passage of energy.
Selon l'invention, la relation entre un tel applicateur According to the invention, the relationship between such an applicator
et le patient est déterminée par l'impédance complexe à l'interface antenne/peau provoquant dans l'ensemble générateur20 applicateur un système d'ondes stationnaires. and the patient is determined by the complex impedance at the antenna / skin interface causing in the generator generator 20 applicator a standing wave system.
Ainsi qu'il a été indiqué plus haut, la puissance transmise au patient est de l'ordre de 15% de la puissance incidente, de sorte que la puissance réfléchie est de l'ordre de 85%. Ce sont ces ondes incidentes et réfléchies qui créent ce 25 système stationnaire. Or il est connu qu'il convient de perturber le poins possible le générateur, et donc que la tension dans le plan de sortie du générateur soit amenée au minimum. Pour cela, ledit phénomène stationnaire étant créé, il faut que la distance entre l'extrémité de l'applicateur et le plan d'entrée du 30 générateur soit réglée à un multiple de la longueur d'onde en propagation, ce qui permet de construire un appareil présentant As indicated above, the power transmitted to the patient is around 15% of the incident power, so that the reflected power is around 85%. It is these incident and reflected waves which create this stationary system. Now it is known that it is necessary to disturb the possible poins of the generator, and therefore that the voltage in the output plane of the generator is brought to a minimum. For this, said stationary phenomenon being created, it is necessary that the distance between the end of the applicator and the input plane of the generator is adjusted to a multiple of the wavelength in propagation, which makes it possible to construct a device presenting
les caractéristiques optimales de ce point de vue. the optimal characteristics from this point of view.
Ainsi, à titre d'exemple, on peut aisément calculer qu'avec un générateur à 9,5 GHz, la permittivité du TEFLON étant 35 de 2,1, la longueur d'onde en question est de 2,18 cm. On peut donc construire un applicateur d'une longueur totale de par Thus, by way of example, it can easily be calculated that with a generator at 9.5 GHz, the permittivity of TEFLON being 35 2.1, the wavelength in question is 2.18 cm. We can therefore build an applicator with a total length of by
exemple 2,18 x 6 = 13 cm.example 2.18 x 6 = 13 cm.
Selon une variante, rentrant dans le cadre de l'invention, l'applicateur peut être constitué par une antenne According to a variant, falling within the scope of the invention, the applicator can be constituted by an antenna

rayonnante, ce qui permet de stimuler, non plus des points, mais des zones de plusieurs centimètres carrés, en répartissant sur radiant, which makes it possible to stimulate, no longer points, but areas of several square centimeters, by spreading over
ladite zone la totalité de l'énergie incidente. said zone all of the incident energy.
Outre la stimulation des points d'acupuncture, le 5 dispositif selon l'invention peut être également utilisé par exemple en auriculopuncture, ainsi que dans les applications des lasers à faible puissance, notamment en chirurgie dentaire, ou In addition to stimulation of the acupuncture points, the device according to the invention can also be used for example in auriculopuncture, as well as in the applications of low power lasers, in particular in dental surgery, or
pour l'éradication des verrues, et en réflexo-thérapie. for eradicating warts, and in reflex therapy.
