Since it is configured to detect acceleration and output a pain detection signal only when the timings of both myoelectric output and acceleration output match, it is possible to reliably and automatically detect pain in the affected area. Therefore, according to the present invention, this pain detection signal can be sent to the control unit of the treatment device and used to control the stimulation signal, so that unlike conventional treatment devices, the patient can manually select the location where the pain sensation occurs. This has the advantage that it is possible to automatically select the location where a pain sensation is generated using the pain detection signal, and also to control the size of the stimulus as required, without having to perform any operations.
