  • Patent number: 11058878
    Abstract: A urination disorder treatment device includes a pair of body-surface electrode pads to supply an electrical stimulation signal from a back of a sacral bone, a stimulation signal control output circuit from which the pair of body-surface electrode pads supply the stimulation signal, a first measurement portion to measure electrocardiographic data based on a signal of electrical activity of the heart of the person to be treated, and a control portion to control supply of the stimulation signal based on an electrocardiographic waveform measured by the first measurement portion. A heart rate of the person to be treated may be judged to be a normal value from the electrocardiographic data, the control portion may delay timing of an output pulse from the pair of body-surface electrode pads so as not to be synchronized with the atrial systole P or the ventricular systole R of the electrocardiographic waveform.

  • Patent number: 10675464
    Abstract: Provided is an electric stimulation treatment device which is capable of outputting a stimulation voltage more efficiently than a conventional device. A urination disorder treatment device includes a pair of body-surface electrode pads 37, an indifferent electrode pad 39 which is larger in area than a body-surface electrode pad 37 with a relatively larger area, of the pair of body-surface electrode pads 37, and disposed in the vicinity of the pair of body-surface electrode pads 37, and a control portion 48 which supplies an electric signal to the pair of body-surface electrode pads 37 and the indifferent electrode pad 39.

  • Patent number: 10675463
    Abstract: Provided is a urination disorder treatment device which easily confirms with high accuracy whether it is appropriately used or not. In the urination disorder treatment device, a control portion compares a stimulation pulse 58 by a pair of body-surface electrode pads with a detection pulse 60 of a toe to judge whether a nerve passing through the sacral bone or the vicinity of the sacral bone is appropriately stimulated by the stimulation pulse 58 or not. Further, the detection pulse 60 is generated by reactions of the tibial nerve and/or the peroneal nerve extended up to the tiptoe which are connected to the nerve passing through the sacral bone or the vicinity of the sacral bone by way of the ischiadic nerve.
