Description

The utility model relates to medical equipment, namely to devices for electrical stimulation, and can be used in SCENAR-therapy to influence biologically active points.

Currently, SCENAR-therapy is becoming more widespread in the practice of treating diseases of various pathologies. SCENAR is an abbreviation of the concept of self-controlled energy-neuroadaptive regulation. A feature of SCENAR-therapy is that the stimulating effect is carried out by an electric signal, the parameters of which are functionally related to the body's response to the stimulating effect.

From the description of the patent of the Russian Federation No. 21113839, IPC 6 A 61 H 39/00, A 61 N 1/36, 1/05, publ. 1998.06.27 known electrode for conducting transcranial electrotherapy, containing a U-shaped clamp, at one end of which is mounted with the ability to move the contact element in the form of a conical needle tip, and an installation tool to control the pressure with which the needle tip is pressed against the outer layers of the skin. This electrode provides constant contact pressure, but is not suitable for SCENAR-therapy due to the inability to quickly move from one area of influence to another.

Patent of the Russian Federation No. 2135078, IPC6 A 61 V 5/0408, publ. 1999.08.27 protected electrode device for recording biopotentials, containing a dielectric housing and mounted on it a working electrode with a down conductor. The working electrode is made of a material having a thermal conductivity coefficient comparable to the thermal conductivity of the tissue of a biological object. This embodiment of the electrode eliminates the preparatory phase when conducting electrophysiological measurements by reducing the temperature, mechanical and chemical irritation of the skin area located directly under the electrode and allows the registration of biopotentials without the use of an intermediate contact substance (electrode pastes or gels). This electrode device is also not suitable for SCENAR-therapy due to the lack of fixing the distance between the contact points of the active and passive electrodes.

Known electrode device for puncture electrotherapy (see RF patent No. 2202381, IPC A 61 N 1/18, A 61 H 39/00, publ. 2003.04.20), the technical result of the use of which is the possibility of passing power lines through internal organs with local effects on biologically active points. The electrode device contains indifferent and active electrodes. A current-carrying wire with a plug to which an indifferent lead electrode is connected is soldered to the screen of the flexible cable. The cable is branched into 2-5 electrical wires with

plugs to which 2-5 round electrodes are connected. The indifferent electrode is made of lead, the active electrodes are made of steel. The electrode device is intended for physiotherapeutic effects on the internal organs of a person, in particular the stomach, intestines, prostate gland, uterus, bladder, bronchi. With a cranial arrangement of electrodes, the device can be used for transcerebral effects. However, this electrode device is not suitable for SCENAR-therapy when exposed to biologically active points due to the inability to quickly move from one area of influence to another.

As a prototype adopted an electrode device described in the patent of the Russian Federation No. 2086176, IPC 6 A 61 5/05, A 61 N 39/00, A 61 N 1/04 publ. 1997.08.10.

This device for electropuncture diagnostics, contains active and passive electrodes, current leads to them and the body of the active electrode. The active electrode is made in the form of a spring-loaded rod, the spring being electrically connected at one end to the rod and the other to the current supply of the active electrode. The disadvantage of the prototype is the lack of the ability to localize the area of influence, which reduces the effectiveness of SCENAR-therapy when exposed to biologically active points.

The technical result of using the utility model is to increase the effectiveness of SCENAR-therapy when exposed to biologically active points.

The specified technical result is achieved by the fact that in the electrode device containing the active and passive electrodes with current-carrying wires and the housing, the active electrode being made in the form of a rod, the passive electrode is made in the form of a ring, the housing is in the form of a hollow pipe, from one end of which are mounted coaxially arranged active and passive electrodes, providing, when their ends come into contact with the skin surface of the contact surface, overlapping the dimensions of the biologically active point, and the current-carrying wires to the electrodes are connected from the other end of the housing, while a dielectric sleeve is placed between the active and passive electrodes.

The utility model is illustrated by drawings. Figure 1 shows the electrode device, a General view, figure 2 is an electrode device in section.

In figure 1, 2 numbers indicate:

1 - housing

2 - active electrode,

3 - passive electrode,

4 - dielectric sleeve,

5 - current supply cord,

6 - connector for connecting to an electro-adaptive stimulator,

7 - damping sleeve.

The electrode device comprises a tubular housing 1, in which an electrode assembly is mounted (connected by a threaded connection) from one end and includes an active 2 and a passive 3 electrodes and a dielectric sleeve 4 separating them. A two-wire current supply leads to the electrodes 2 and 3 from the other end of the housing 1 cord 5, one wire of which is connected to the active electrode 2, and the other to the passive electrode 3. A two-wire current-supply cord 5 ends with connector 6 for connection to an electro-adaptive stimulator. To prevent breakage of the conductors, the current supply cord 5 is inserted through the damping sleeve 7.

An electrode device is used to influence biologically active points (BAP). The desired dimensions of the active electrode 2: for exposure to the BAP of the auricle - diameter 0.5 ... 1.0 mm, on the BAP of the face (paired points E2, VB1, G120, V2) - diameter 2.0 ... 5.0 mm, to the points of general action (G14, E36, VC6, V23, the point of the "third eye") and harmonizing points - diameter 5.0 ... 10.0 mm. The thickness of the dielectric sleeve 4 is 0.5 ... 1.0 mm, the contact area of the passive electrode 3 should not be less than the contact area of the active electrode 2. A characteristic feature of SCENAR-therapy is that the exposure is carried out by high-amplitude pulses of short duration with steep edges. In the process of exposure, the parameters of these pulses (amplitude, duration, filling frequency) automatically (based on the principles of biological feedback) change depending on the body's response to the effect. When the body’s reaction to the impact is absent, the parameters of the pulses cease to change, and this is a sign of the need to stop the exposure. As a result, the electro-stimulating effect of SCENAR-therapy is precisely dosed, which explains its high efficiency. The lack of localization of the area of influence reduces the effectiveness of treatment due to erosion of interelectrode currents. In the claimed electrode device, the exposure zone is fixed by the boundaries of the contact surface of the passive electrode 3, which helps to increase the effectiveness of SCENAR-therapy.
