In other words, it responds to pathological symptoms such as muscle stiffness or pain in the human body, captures and extracts biological currents and electromagnetic waves in the affected area, rectifies the current flowing in one direction and conducts a short circuit, making the lesion light. It relates to a treatment tool with a tape.

For example, poultices, massages, wrinkles, etc. are known as means for treating stiffness and pain in each part of the body, but all of them are intended to improve the circulation of the affected area and relieve the symptoms. is there.
In addition, as a document disclosed as a technique having a therapeutic means in recent times, the above-mentioned Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 52-131837 (indefinite complaint treatment member), Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 5-154205 (treatment device), Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 8-117348 No. (Health, Medical Coil), Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 62-38178 (Skin Irritation), etc. can be seen.
JP, 10-174722, A The invention is also a title Therapeutic instrument and the therapeutic instrument with a tape This patent document is the nearest patent document. The gist of the present invention is “a treatment device having a unidirectional current rectifier element and a current supplement probe provided around the element, wherein both terminals of the unidirectional current rectifier element are current supplement probes. The treatment tool, which is connected and connected in an electrically conductive state via the unidirectional current rectifying element and the current supplementary probe, is, for example, an adhesive skin with an adhesive tape on one side of the affected skin surface. The unidirectional current rectifying element, the current supplement probe, and the convex portion provided on the skin contact side of the unidirectional current rectifying element are pressed and attached. ”However, this is useful for attaching the treatment tool to the body. Difficulties may occur, and it is also evaluated as a treatment tool that is inadequate for treatment technology. Author Shoji Yoshimoto, Book Title Diode Therapy (Subtitle Weak Electric Effect Applied Pane Control) Publication Enterprise Enterprise Co., Ltd. Date of issue November 15, 1994 The main reference in this document is “Chapter 5 MP５ , Ion pumping therapy, Chapter 6 SSI (Skin Surface Instruments therapy, skin surface treatment instrument) and microstimulation, weak electrical phenomenon, Chapter 7 diode therapy. Further retroactively, there is a method of attaching metal particles that generate a magnetic force of about 800 gauss to the affected area. In some cases, the magnetic force stimulates the affected area, giving a magnetic field to the flow of ions in the blood, and smoothing blood circulation. Thus, it is considered that there are various causes of poor blood circulation. Abnormalities in bioelectric current due to so-called electromagnetic waves generated from the living body are assumed to be one of them, and biocurrent rectification is performed to improve abnormalities in biocurrent. Therapy is known.

However, none of the conventional means is suitable as a treatment tool adapted to diversification of patients' lives, and it cannot be said that it is appropriate and effective, and in order to increase the therapeutic effect (results). It was a missing feature.
Therefore, in view of the present situation, the present invention can improve the patient's QOL (Quality Of Life), while remarkably reducing pain in the affected area and including a cosmetic diet effect. The purpose is to provide a treatment device with a tape that enables long-term (long-term) treatment while continuing activities, and that the treatment effect is clearly improved compared to conventional treatment means. And

As a means for solving the above-mentioned object, the present invention according to claim 1 is characterized in that a unidirectional current rectifying element is arranged at the center, and is extended from the bipolar terminals of the unidirectional current rectifying element so as to extend on the outer peripheral surface of the conducting wire. A current trapping probe is provided that bends each line segment plated with a metal such as gold, silver, titanium, or platinum into a circular shape, and circulates around the outer extension with the one-way current rectifying element as the center. A fiber cloth that can be attached to an affected part of a body, and a treatment tool comprising the one-way current rectifying element and the current capturing probe is placed in a recess provided in a flexible fibrous cushioning material; The supporter is made of a leather strap and is fixed to the surface, and a plurality of the treatment tools are provided, and the treatment tool can be directly pressed against the affected area, and the supporter is formed in a band shape and is bound to the affected area. A tape with treatment device characterized by being configured Te.
The present invention according to claim 2 is characterized in that the depth of the recess and the elasticity of the flexible fiber are changed according to the symptoms of the affected area and the number of the treatment tools to be arranged. The treatment tool with a tape according to claim 1.
The present invention according to claim 3 is characterized in that a removable adhesive member is laid in the recess so that the treatment tool can be freely replaced. Ingredients.
The present invention according to claim 4 is the therapeutic device with a tape according to claim 1, wherein a member that is detachable is disposed at both ends of the supporter so as to be detachable from the affected area.
The present invention according to claim 5 is characterized in that the direction of the rectifying polarity of the one-way current rectifying element disposed in the treatment device is appropriately and randomly arranged. It is a tool.

The conventional treatment technology only emphasizes only the direction of polarity, or simply affixing the treatment tool to the affected area with a pad, and there are not a few barriers to the leap in time and results in improving the treatment effect It seems that there is no exaggeration to think that there was.
Here, the present inventors can overcome the barriers from the idea of the conventional treatment method, capture the points of the body system caused by body pain, and become a base of physical activity The treatment tool can be detachably attached to any painful area such as limbs, that is, arms, legs, waist, etc., and it can contribute to recovery / lightening of the painful area while compensating for a completely healthy normal life. It can be said that it is a treatment device with a tape that is designed to bring about a diet effect for obesity.

When a human body cell is subjected to sound, heat, light, blood changes, temperature changes, etc., it stimulates and activates cellular activity, emits biocurrent and bioelectromagnetic waves, and the single cell voltage during health is -90 mV, when an external stimulus is applied, it rises to about +20 mV instantaneously (2/100 sec), and then returns to the original state. If this phenomenon is observed in a cell group, a voltage fluctuation of +110 mV occurs in a specific cell. Sometimes it is transmitted to adjacent cells. For example, if 10 cells are collected, an abnormal voltage of 1.1V is generated at +1100 mV, and this abnormal voltage causes stiff shoulders and back pain, that is, itching. Therefore, if this poor circulation is solved, the affected area can be treated.
Therefore, the present inventors create a therapeutic effect by capturing this abnormal voltage from the previous cell group, and adopt a special method to apply the treatment tool to the affected area while pressing the affected area. In addition, it is possible to provide a medical treatment site with an excellent supporter that has never seen a case so far, while also allowing the body to move freely, and to bring about a light recovery of the painful part and a diet effect.

  In this way, it is said that the site where the treatment tool is applied to the human body has good acupoints and pain points, but the location of the acupuncture varies depending on the individual and may vary little by little. It is difficult to look for. Therefore, by binding a supporter with multiple treatment devices to the affected area, the possibility of being attached to the acupuncture point is increased. Using a patch made of adhesive tape or the like as a pasting means for treatment devices. Affixed to the affected area, several drawbacks of this patch have been pointed out. In other words, it is troublesome to set the treatment tool on the patch, especially for the elderly, and it is easy to get stuffy and foggy, so people with weak skin could not wear it for a long time, and it was attached and detached when taking a bath It took a lot of work to do. Therefore, the present invention overcomes all these difficulties by improving the supporter type, eliminates the need to set a treatment tool on the patch, improves air permeability, makes it difficult to fog, and makes it difficult to lose the treatment tool. It becomes easy to attach and detach, and a remarkable leap in therapeutic effect is recognized as compared with this type of conventional treatment device.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
In all the drawings, the same reference numerals indicate the same or corresponding members.
The inventors of the present invention have a lot of serious troubles with pain patients and requests corresponding to them, taking questionnaires, examining bioelectric current and bioelectromagnetic wave caused by it, and repeatedly repeating cut and try, The following examples will realize an ideal treatment device with a tape.

FIG. 1 is a plan view showing a treatment tool with a supporter according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention, FIG. 1 (a) is a front view thereof, FIG. 1 (b) is a rear view thereof, and FIG. 1 (c) is FIG. It is a figure which shows a part of a).
As shown in FIG. 1, the treatment device 1 includes a unidirectional current rectifying element (for example, a diode) 2 and a circular terminal around the unidirectional current rectifying element 2 by extending from the bipolar terminals of the unidirectional current rectifying element 1. Formed from an enclosed current capture probe 3.
The plurality of treatment devices 1 are arranged at appropriate intervals in the recessed portions 4a provided in the longitudinal direction of the surface of the buffer sheet 4 made of a buffer material. This buffer sheet 4 is fixed by sewing to a rectangular supporter 5 that keeps the treatment tool 1 in close contact with the body and holds it so that it does not disengage from free body movements. If the adhesive members 6a and 6b for detachably connecting the back and front terminals are fixed and the adhesive members 6a and 6b are engaged with each other, the adhesive members 6a and 6b can be kept in close contact for a long time.
The unidirectional current rectifying element 1 in the treatment instrument 1 is plated with gold or the like, and changes its direction appropriately according to the amount of bioelectric current captured by the unidirectional current rectifying element 1, that is, probe terminals 3a, 3b [ It is preferable that the position of FIG.

FIG. 2 is a plan view showing a treatment tool with a supporter in which the supporter according to the second embodiment of the present invention has a long shape, and FIG. 2A is a shape diagram in which treatment tools are arranged in a row on the surface. FIG. 2 (b) shows a shape diagram in which treatment devices are arranged in two rows on the surface.
Such a treatment tool with a supporter is suitable for the treatment of the lower back, the crotch and the like of the body.
The number of rows of the treatment devices 1 disposed on the buffer sheet 4 and the number of each row are prescribed in accordance with pain symptoms.

FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing details of the treatment tool according to the present invention.
The element insertion recess 4a opened in the buffer sheet 4 adjusts the depth of the unidirectional current rectifying element 1 embedded in consideration of the degree of pain.
A removable adhesive member may be laid on the bottom surface of the recess 4a.
In addition, the position of the probe terminal is also slightly displaced to change the capture of the human body current. That is, in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the arrangement is orderly arranged, but depending on the situation It may be better to place them randomly.

FIG. 4 is an analysis diagram of the bioelectric current in the vicinity of the treatment tool according to the present invention.
The details will be described as follows.
For example, consider the moment when the probe terminal 3a side of the probe 3 of the treatment instrument 1 becomes a positive potential. The treatment current is1 flowing into the treatment instrument 1 in the bioelectric current is rectified through the diode 2 through a small diode forward resistance Rd and the diode current i2 flows, but both probes 3 due to the binding of the supporter 4 As a result of the compression, contact occurs between the surfaces, and the probe contact current i3a3b flows through the probe contact resistance R3a3b.

However, the probe contact resistance R3a3b is much larger than the diode forward resistance Rd. Therefore, most of the treatment current is1 becomes the diode current i2 and flows through the diode (one-way rectifying element) 2.
On the other hand, the skin current is3 flowing near the surface of the living body skin at both probe terminals 3a3b is so small that it can be ignored because the surface resistance Rsab between the probe terminals 3a3b is very large. That means
Rd << R3a3b << Rsab
i2 >> i3a3b >> is3
It becomes.

The surface resistance Rsab between the probe terminals 3a3b varies depending on the pressure of adhesion to the skin and can be said to be a variable resistance.
In this way, the treatment currents is1 and is2 (both currents are of course equal) circulate while changing in accordance with the biopotential difference between the probe terminals 3a3b and the fluctuation of the biosurface resistance Rsab and the probe contact resistance R3a3b.
FIG. 5 is a state diagram in which the treatment tool according to the present invention is attached to the arm and leg of the body, and FIG. 6 is a view of the state of the treatment tool of the present invention bound to the waist of the body as viewed from the back. is there.
In this way, the treatment tool 1 according to the present invention is surely brought into pressure contact with the surface of the living body and has a high probability of being applied to any one of the acupoints of the nervous system. Is understood at a glance, and it can be said that the treatment method does not interfere with daily life, that is, QOL is not impaired at all.

  Here, it is clinical that there is an analgesic effect when a chip-shaped unidirectional rectifying element 2 made of semiconductor is applied to the pain part [Tamagawa University Faculty of Engineering, Aoyama University School of Science and Engineering, Kyoto University Graduate School of Social Medicine, Fukui Prefectural University ) Has also been demonstrated. “As a new attempt, a treatment tool 1 comprising a unidirectional rectifying element 2 provided with a probe 3 for capturing a bioelectric current was applied to a point that seems to be a point on the body, and the diet effect of the body was confirmed.

The method is as follows.
Targeting healthy adults of 8 girls and 2 boys as subjects, with ethical considerations and informed consent, with cooperation, and a treatment device on the body in 7 days The experiment was carried out with 1 attached. The treatment tool 1 has a 1 mm thick, 3 mm long unidirectional rectifying element (semiconductor chip) 2 and a gold-plated wire body current capturing probe (coil) 3 having a 9 mm diameter circular shape. A circular tip (therapeutic device 1) placed at the center was used. The test subjects used the circular tip at a time from 8 to 36 people, and the test subject applied the treatment tool 1 (tip) to the body throughout the day, and changed the application location every time to prevent rash.

Furthermore, the place to stick and the number which stuck the treatment tool 1 (semiconductor chip) differed a little with each test subject. The affixed points are points that seem to be related to the diet of the abdomen, back and legs.
The measurement was conducted on five persons who had an effect on the body weight, body fat, visceral fat, waist circumference (waist, lymph, and navel), and leg (thigh, above knee) in 7 days. The minimum value that was found to have the most diet effect was extracted before and after the treatment tool 1 (semiconductor chip) was attached, and the difference was statistically processed by t-test. The subject is not diagnosed as being obese. And the meal was eaten normally, and calories were not calculated. Four treatment tools 1 (semiconductor chips) were attached to the left foot at a point that seems to be an acupoint of the foot, and a radiation thermometer was used to examine the progress of the skin temperature of both feet.

  As a result, changes in body weight and visceral fat did not fluctuate with days. Body fat showed a relatively decreasing trend. The average size of the thigh around the undercarriage was reduced by 4.3 cm, and the thickness of the upper part of the knee joint was reduced by an average size of 2.7 cm, both of which showed a significant (p <0.05) decrease. There was a decrease in waist circumference (average 2.4 cm at waist, average 5 cm under lymph, average 3 cm under navel), but no significant difference was obtained. There was no decrease in cellulite on the touch. By applying four treatment tools 1 (semiconductor chips) for the right foot, the temperature of the partial skin of the foot increased 0.3 ° C. 20 minutes after the application.

In this way, it was suggested that the treatment tool 1 (semiconductor chip) has a function of narrowing the waist and the legs of the body rather than the weight loss, and has a diet effect. It is thought that the burning of fat improved due to the temperature rise. "
Furthermore, as a part of the position of rehabilitation medicine in the 21st century, there is a report on the results at the Department of Rehabilitation at Fukuoka University Hospital in the Pain Division. It is a treatment report on the analgesic effect of the treatment tool 1 (semiconductor chip). The purpose is that many patients who require rehabilitation medical care have pain in various parts of the body, which is an obstacle during rehabilitation. Therefore, the treatment tool 1 (semiconductor chip) is affixed to the pain part and the effect is determined.

The subjects were 92 patients with various types of chronic pain, mainly shoulder stiffness and low back pain (age 25-82 years, average 56 years, 30 men, 62 women), and 10 of them used dummy items of the same shape. Was a placebo.
The clinical trial method consists of a coil / body current supplementary probe 3 attached to a unidirectional rectifying element (diode) 2 having a thickness of 1 mm and a length of 3 mm, and a circular treatment device in which the diode 2 is placed at the center thereof. 1 (semiconductor chip).
Two to several treatment tools 1 were affixed to the pain area depending on the symptoms. The evaluation of the subjects was set on a scale of 0 to 10 on the visual analog scale (VAS method). 10 was the state before application, the disappearance of the symptom was 0, and the change in improvement was examined 24 hours after application by numerical values. 0-3: Significant usefulness, 4-6: Useful, 7-8: Temporary usefulness, 9-10: Invalid.

As a result, 0-3 were 17 (21%), 4-6 were 46 (56%), 7-8 were 13 (16%), and all 10 placebos were invalid. In addition, no side effects were observed when the treatment tool 1 was applied.
In this way, 93% of the subjects were useful. As an analgesic mechanism, it is considered that the unidirectional rectifying element 2 of the treatment device 1 (semiconductor chip) adjusts the abnormality of the bioelectric current generated in the pain part. The blood flow in the pain area of the subject who had an analgesic effect increased when measured with a blood flow meter, and the hardness decreased when measured with a muscle hardness meter in the tender area. I thought it could be a useful tool for pain treatment. "

  Thus, according to the present invention, the inventors create a therapeutic effect by capturing this abnormal voltage from the previous cell group, and adopt a special technique to paste the treatment tool on the affected area, It is possible to provide the medical field with an excellent supporter that has never seen a case so far, while pressing the affected area and allowing the body to move freely, and also to improve the painful area and improve the diet. .

  Furthermore, it is said that the site where the treatment tool is affixed to the human body has good points and pain points, but the location of the points varies from person to person and may vary little by little. Although it is difficult to find, by attaching a supporter with multiple treatment tools to the affected area, there is a high possibility that it can be applied to the acupuncture point, and to the affected area using a patch as a pasting means of treatment tools so far Instead of sticking, it becomes possible to set multiple treatment tools reliably on the affected area, eliminating the burden of wearing especially for the elderly, and avoiding the tendency to get stuffy and foggy, and even people with weak skin can wear it for a long time. Compared to this type of treatment tool of the conventional type, there is no need to attach and detach when taking a bath, etc. Treatment in daily life is enforced And the improvement of QOL, the leap of special therapeutic effect is observed.
