  • Pain relieving waveform system and method
    Patent number: 8275461
    Abstract: A system and method for treating pain are disclosed. A voltage source provides an electric current, and a switching waveform controller receives the electric current and provides a first signal having a first waveform of a first frequency. A switching high frequency generator receives the electric current and provides a second signal having a waveform of a second frequency that is higher than the first frequency. A microprocessor controls the switching waveform controller and the switching high frequency generator. The second signal is superimposed on the first signal, providing a modified first signal. Alternatively, the switching waveform controller and the switching high frequency generator use one or more passive components and the second signal is superimposed on the first signal. At least one electrode receives the modified first signal, and the at least one electrode transmits a third signal associated with the modified first signal to a patient's skin.
