Abstract: A combination electrode-battery assembly for a miniature wireless transcutaneous electrical neuro or muscular stimulation unit is provided, which is capable of being removably attached. The assembly is generally comprised of two sided electrodes, batteries, various conductive transmission materials and a mechanical means for securing the conductive materials to the batteries In addition, the assembly can be rechargeable or disposable.

Abstract: A miniature wireless transcutaneous electrical neuro or muscular stimulation unit. The unit has a housing attached to a plurality of electrodes. An electronics module containing an electrical circuit is contained within the housing and provides a sequence of monophasic or biphasic pulses to a patient's pain site via the electrodes. The electrodes can be disposable and come in a variety of shapes and sizes. The patient may select and control the intensity and the frequency of the pulses by choosing one of several TENS and microcurrent waveforms, as well as the orientation and quantity of the electrodes. The means for supplying power to the electronics module can be integrated with the electrodes in one detachable and disposable assembly. A worn-remote controller can send transmission signals to a receiver within the electronic module thereby allowing the patient to program specific units placed on the patient's body to perform operations in a specified series of waveforms.
