Abstract: This invention provides a system and apparatus for treating neurally responsive conditions by use of a novel combined waveform in combination with, and preferably modulated onto, a gigaTENS waveform administered to a patient. This modulated combined waveform can also be administered synchronously or asynchronously with a conventional mono- or bipolar spiked waveform, useful for TENS applications and/or for stimulatory input to the patient.

Abstract: The present invention pertains to a portable non-invasive electronic apparatus which can be used to relieve pain or alter the symptoms of certain neurological dysfunctions. A specifically contoured constant current and current limited waveform is generated and applied to selectively positioned electrodes. A program controlled processor tracks usage of the unit to prevent abuse and monitor progress. An overall treatment regimen centered on the stimulator may be effected simply and safely. The invention also provides an apparatus and method for the iontophoretic topical administration of a pharmaceutical agent. The apparatus is operated in a monopolar mode with a particular complex waveform which synergistically enhances the amount of various neurobiochemical species in the cerebral spinal fluid and the blood plasma.

Abstract: Described is a low voltage, multipoint auricular stimulator which is lightweight, portable and unobtrusive for use by a patient to reduce or eliminate sensations of pain and anxiety and for correcting other neural dysfunctions, and a treatment method incorporating the pain reducing and neural dysfunction correcting apparatus.

Abstract: Headache modulator apparatus and methodology employs a transcutaneous electronic wave to reduce and control migraine and vascular headaches. A pair of electrodes is placed transcranially, i.e., a first contact electrode is placed at one side of the cranium and a second electrode is placed at the opposite side of the cranium of the head. An electronic current wave comprising relatively high frequency pulses with a low frequency amplitude modulation is then applied between the positive and negative electrodes.

Abstract: Cerebral palsy treatment apparatus and methodology employs a transcutaneous electronic wave to suppress pain and increase motor function. A first positive contact electrode is placed at the right side of the cranium, and a second negative contact electrode is placed at the left side of the cranium of the head. An electronic current wave comprising relatively high frequency pulses with a low frequency amplitude modulation is then applied between the first to the second electrodes.

Abstract: Dental electronic analgesia apparatus and methodology employs a transutaneous electronic wave to suppress perceived pain during trauma associated with dental procedures. During a pre-treatment phase, a first electrode is placed over the right temporal area of the patient's head and a second electrode on the left temporal area of a patient's head. In addition, during the operative phase, an additional electrode is placed on the buccal side of the gum adjacent the work area, and optional additional electrodes are disposed on the web of the ipsalateral hand and/or on the web of the contralateral hand. An electronic current wave comprising relatively high frequency pulses with a low frequency amplitude modulation is then applied between the first to the second electrodes. The apparatus of the instant invention has been found to block pain in most subjects with a low level current without any chemical intervention, or with a reduced dosage of local anesthesia.

Abstract: Migraine modulator apparatus and methodology employs a transcutaneous electronic wave to reduce and control migraine headaches. A first positive contact electrode is placed at the pain site and a second positive contact is placed at the web of the contra-lateral hand; a first negative contact is placed at the contra-lateral trapezius origin, and a second negative contact electrode is placed at the web of the ipsilateral hand. An electronic current wave comprising relatively high frequency pulses with a low frequency amplitude modulation is then applied between the positive and negative electrodes.

Abstract: Glaucoma treatment apparatus and methodology employs a transcutaneous electronic wave to suppress pain and reduce intra-ocular pressure. A first positive contact electrode is placed at the temple of the head, and a second negative contact electrode is placed at the web of the ipsilateral hand. An electronic current wave comprising relatively high frequency pulses with a low frequency amplitude modulation is then applied between the first to the second electrodes.

Abstract: Temporomandibular joint-myofascial pain dysfunction syndrome (TMJ-MPDS) treatment apparatus and methodology employs a transcutaneous electronic wave to suppress pain associated with TMJ-MPDS. A first positive contact electrode is placed at the pain site and a second positive contact electrode is placed at the contra-lateral temporomandibular joint; and a negative contact electrode is placed at the web of the ipsilateral hand. An electronic current wave comprising relatively high frequency pulses with a low frequency amplitude modulation is then applied between the first to the second electrodes.

Abstract: Apparatus and methodology for treating the symptoms of multiple sclerosis employs a transcutaneous electronic wave to suppress perceived pain, increase strength, improve the perception of sensation, reduce spasticity associated with the disease, and create a general feeling of improved well being in the patient. A positive contact electrode is placed on the center of the frontalis muscle, and a negative electrode located at the occiput of the head. Additional negative contacts are placed at the base of the spine, on the medial malleolus of each affected leg and the web space of each affected hand. An electronic current wave comprising relatively high frequency pulses with a low frequency amplitude modulation is then applied between the first to the second electrodes.

Abstract: Cerebral palsy treatment apparatus and methodology employs a transcutaneous electronic wave to suppress pain and increase motor function. A first positive contact electrode is placed at the frontalis, and a second negative contact electrode is placed at the occiput of the head. Alternatively, the first positive contact electrode is placed at the cervical spinous process and the second negative contact electrode is placed at each affected muscle. An electronic current wave comprising relatively high frequency pulses with a low frequency amplitude modulation is then applied between the first to the second electrodes.
