Abstract: An apparatus for current pulses action upon the central nervous system, in which current pulses are supplied from a unit for rhythmic current pulse action upon the central nervous system of a patient via a unit for regulating the duration of current pulses or via an intermittent analgesia unit, a unit for adjusting the amplitude of current pulses and a unit for indicating the mean current intensity value to the patient through electrodes, a cathode attached in the patient's forehead area and an anode attached in the patient's neck area below the mastoids, the above mentioned pulses being stopped by means of a patient protection unit, when a specific amplitude of current pulses is attained. The apparatus provides for regulation of the repetition frequency of current pulses, their amplitude and the level of the additional direct component, depending on the intensity of pain in the patient.

Abstract: An apparatus for current pulse action upon the central nervous system, wherein current pulses are applied from a unit for rhythmic current pulse action upon the central nervous system of a patient, via a unit for regulating the duration of said current pulses, a unit for regulating the amplitude of said current pulses, and a unit for indicating the mean value of current intensity, to the patient. The current pulses are applied through electrodes, i.e. attached in the patient's forehead area, and an anode, secured in the neck area, below the mastoids.
