  • Patent number: 11826567
    Abstract: An electrical treatment device (200) includes a treatment content setting unit (302), a treatment execution unit (306), and an output control unit (304) that outputs a pulse voltage at a first frequency within a predetermined frequency range before treatment of a site is performed by the treatment execution unit (306). When the pulse voltage is output at the first frequency, the treatment content setting unit (302) receives input of an electrical stimulation intensity desired by a user. The treatment execution unit (306) executes the treatment of the site by varying the pulse voltage corresponding to the electrical stimulation intensity desired by the user within the predetermined frequency range.

    Abstract: An electrical treatment apparatus includes an electrode contactable with a body part, a voltage regulator to regulate a voltage applied to the electrode to provide electrical stimulation to the body part, and a control circuit to control the electrical treatment apparatus. While the control circuit is performing the treatment mode in which the voltage regulator is controlled to apply a voltage at a first voltage value corresponding to the treatment mode to the electrode, the control circuit controls the voltage regulator to switch a value of the voltage applied to the electrode from the first voltage value to a second voltage value and to thereafter switch the voltage value from the second voltage value to the first voltage value.

  • Patent number: 10960205
    Abstract: An electric treatment device includes an impedance detector to measure bioelectrical impedance at a site of a body of a user by using electrodes in contact with the site, a voltage controller to perform treatment of the site by controlling a voltage applied to the electrodes, and a timer to set a target time from when treatment of the site is started by the voltage controller to when the voltage value of the applied voltage reaches the target voltage value, based on the measured bioelectrical impedance. The greater the measured bioelectrical impedance is, the shorter the timer sets the target time. The voltage controller increases the voltage value of the applied voltage to the target voltage value based on the set target time.
