  • Patent number: 7860571
    Abstract: The Pain relief device used to relieve pain and promote faster healing in the bodies of humans and animals safely. A positive electrode touches the skin at the site of an injury and a negative electrode completely shielded with insulation is place on the skin at a spaced distance form the positive electrode. A low voltage direct current power source supplies a positive voltage to the positive electrode and a negative voltage to the negative electrode. Electrical stimulation occurs harmlessly, because the shielded negatively charged electrode or insulated pad, being an insulated sheet of aluminum foil produces an electric field in the body that is strong enough to cause a current to flow into the body at the site of the positive electrode. However, no current can flow at the site of the negative electrode because it is insulated and therefore no burns to the skin.

  • Publication number: 20040215285
    Abstract: The Pain relief device uses low voltage DC power sources to relieve pain and promote faster healing in the bodies of humans and animals safely. It has long been known that electrical stimulation to the body can relieve pain. The afflicted area of the body receives a positive (+) charge while the negative electrode (−) is placed on a different part of the body. The problem with attaching electrodes to the body is that if sufficient electricity is applied to accomplish the task of relieving pain, electrical burns to the skin can occur at the site of the negative (−) electrode. In the case of The Pain Relief Device, only the positive (+) electrode touches the skin as the negative (−) electrode is completely shielded with insulation.
