  • Publication number: 20210121686
    Abstract: According to an embodiment, a microcurrent sinus treatment device includes a hand holdable case configured to substantially contain active portions of a circuit for applying a sequence of voltage pulses to nerve nodes near the sinuses of a user. The hand holdable case includes a forward end terminating in a therapeutic electrode, and a return electrode comprising a portion of or disposed on a surface of the hand holdable case. The hand holdable case includes a dielectric spacer disposed between the therapeutic electrode and the return electrode, and a rearward portion of the hand holdable case terminating at an end a distance less than about four inches from the therapeutic electrode tip. The dielectric spacer and the return electrode may form a tapered surface narrowing toward the therapeutic electrode from a point of maximum girth disposed between the forward end and the rearward end of the hand holdable case.
