Description

Device for photoelectric stimulation

The utility model relates to medical equipment, namely to devices for the electron of nectural therapy.

The device can be used to influence biologically active points of the body (BAP) and for non-specific immunostimulation.

A device for electropuncture reflexology, taken as a prototype, is known as “an aeroionic stimulator (1) for influencing a patient's BAT with an ion-plasma stream of aeroions. The device consists of:

-high-voltage DC power supply;

-discharge unit (corotron), made in the form of a metal cylinder, inside of which a thin wire is pulled, to which a high voltage is supplied from a direct current source;

- an active electrode in an insulating handle connected to a metal cylinder.

However, in such a device, the effect on the patient is limited by the flow of aero ions that occur when a metal cylinder of a corotron is discharged (through an active electrode) onto the surface of the skin (or other body tissue).

The purpose of the proposed utility model is to increase the effectiveness of exposure to biologically active points and the electrical safety of the device.

In the proposed device, along with the aeroionic one arising due to ionization of the gas medium, an additional effect on the patient with an alternating electric field and an alternating electric current (due to the presence of a high-voltage generator) is provided, which enhances the effect of other types of stimulation on BAP (2). In addition, the proposed device allows for targeted dosed microdamage of the dermis with a low-intensity spark discharge, which leads to non-specific stimulation of the immune system. Under the action of a spark discharge, foci of micronecrosis are formed in the skin, which stimulate phagocytosis and the release of biologically active substances (heparin, cytokines, prostaglandins), mediators (histamine), and trophometabolic processes in tissues are enhanced (3). When exposed to spark

Short-term stimulation of BAP by light exposure in the visible, ultraviolet, and infrared spectrum of electromagnetic waves is also observed (4). This effect is potentiated by nitrogen oxides and ozone released in small amounts (3).

The device (Fig. 1) consists of:

-universal power source - 1;

- master oscillator (synchronizer) - 2;

-regulated generator of high-voltage pulses - 3, which allows you to influence the BAT with pulse signals of various shapes (figure 2) in continuous (with a frequency of 1 Hz to 400 Hz), discrete (pulse packets) or single exposure;

-frequency - 4;

- peak voltmeter - 5;

- insulator - 7, which performs the function of a small-capacity capacitor and is an ebonite cylinder, in which, on the one hand, a high-voltage electrode is placed in insulation - 8, on the other - a working (active) electrode - 9, which are separated by an ebonite layer. This design guarantees against electrical breakdown and provides more reliable electrical safety compared to the prototype.

A microammeter - 6 is included in the working electrode circuit. At the end of the working electrode there is a needle replaceable graphite tip - 10, with the help of which biologically active points are affected. The device can operate both from a network and from an autonomous power source.

An adjustable high-voltage generator, synchronized by a master oscillator, generates high-voltage pulses that are transmitted through a layer of ebonite (dielectric) to the working electrode. In this case, the high-voltage impulses are weakened to a value that provides sufficient tension between the tip of the working electrode and the epidermis of the skin - 11 for the occurrence of a spark discharge that does not cause pain. The current in the circuit of the working electrode does not exceed 50 μa.

amplitude, waveform). If the working needle electrode is connected to the patient’s skin in the BAP area, then an alternating electric field and an alternating electric current with specified characteristics are applied. At low frequencies, the effect is complemented by the effect of acupressure due to microvibrations that arise. With the distance of the electrode from the surface of the epidermis to a distance of 2.0 mm. the impact is supplemented by the flow of aeroions arising from the corona discharge. With an increase in the amplitude of the pulse, a spark discharge occurs with which the metered microdamage of the dermis is carried out.
