Description

Multi-channel transcutaneous pain relief electrical stimulation apparatus and method {Percutaneous pain relief multi-channel electrical stimulation apparatus and method}

In general, electric stimulators induce and apply fine current to the human body to promote blood circulation and metabolism to relieve pain in the human body, have healing and preventive effects for musculoskeletal disorders, and improve skin beauty and weight loss by recovering from fatigue and improving blood circulation. It has a health-promoting effect.

The present invention relates to a transcutaneous electrical stimulation device and method for relieving pain by applying electrical signals to the human body, and more particularly, to multi-channel high-frequency waves, ultrasonic waves, music sounds, lasers, medium-low frequencies, and magnetization waves. It relates to a transcutaneous pain relief electrical stimulation device and method capable of complex pain relief using electrical stimulation output using In addition, it provides a multi-function multi-output that allows the user to freely select and use the electrical signal output. In addition, by outputting a heating function and a vibration function using a motor, it provides a variety of function choices for the user and maximizes the effect on health, skin care, and pain improvement.

In general, electrotherapy is a method of treating various diseases by passing a fine current through the human body, which is also called electrotherapy.

Depending on the applied frequency, high-frequency and low-frequency treatment devices are widely developed and used. Low-frequency electrotherapy uses frequencies of several Hz to 1,000 Hz, medium-frequency electrotherapy uses 1KHz to 10KHz, and high-frequency electrotherapy uses frequencies of 100KHz or higher. do.

In addition, as a treatment device used for pain relief and recovery of various musculoskeletal disorders such as back pain, arthritis, spondylitis, and sports injuries, electric treatment such as medium frequency and high frequency, ultrasound, and light therapy devices have been introduced. Ultrasonic therapy uses a frequency of 20KHz~10MHz, applies vibration to the deep tissue of the human body, and uses thermal effects to be used for treatment such as recovery of soft tissue damage.

In addition, microcurrent stimulation therapy devices that treat the human body by inducing and applying microcurrent according to the control of the output intensity in the range of about 10uA to 500uA or more are widely applied and used.

The causes of pain can be largely divided into perceptual cases due to damage or inflammation of somatic tissues or visceral tissues, and neuropathic cases that occur after nerve damage. Perceptual pain includes cutaneous nociception, visceral pain, somatic pain, sensory neuralgia, neuromuscular pain, and somatic pain. In the case of neuropathic pain, there is pain due to peripheral or central nerve dysfunction.

Pain treatment first finds and treats the physical cause that the patient has, but if this does not work, it is necessary to find the psychogenic factor and treat it together. In the case of acute pain, it is necessary to quickly and effectively eliminate the pain while reducing side effects, and in the case of chronic pain, it is necessary to consider problems caused by long-term use of analgesics.

A prior patent document (application number 10-2013-0045812/portable microcurrent therapy device using high potential) is disclosed, which is a portable treatment device built into a bag-type case, which is inconvenient to move and carry, and which is inconvenient at the place of use and There is an expensive problem.

In addition, prior patent literature (Application No. 10-2016-0035001/LED mask device for complex management of face and scalp) is disclosed, but this is only possible in a specific place for a connection line and mask, and there is a limit to only LED light irradiation.

Since these conventional technologies must use commercial power (AC power), there is inconvenience in using them only in a specific place after carrying them. In addition, when using a consumable coin battery, there are disadvantages such as cost and environmental problems.

In addition, as described above, in the prior art, it is composed of a treatment device body, connection cable, and pad for each function, and is composed of a complex device equipped with electrical output terminals such as low frequency, medium frequency, and high frequency, or a microcurrent stimulator or light (LED) device. Since it is composed of individual devices, there is a problem in that it is necessary to separately purchase a complex electric stimulator, a light (LED) stimulator, and a microcurrent stimulator.

In addition, conventional transcutaneous pain relief electrical stimulation devices have only a pain relief function or only a part such as a heating function, so there is a problem in that they do not satisfy the complex needs of users who require pain relief according to various treatment areas and symptoms. .
