  • Patent number: 9308363
    Abstract: Various aspects of this disclosure relate to a patch for treating a patient for chronic pain and for cosmetic treatment. As consistent with one or more embodiments, neurostimulation is carried out via stimulating electrodes and one or more reference electrodes applied externally to a region of pain (e.g., by applying current between 0.2 and 60 mA to skin). The area to be treated is located either by a stimulating device, or by using at least one of the stimulating electrodes on the device itself to locate the pain prior to treatment. The electrodes are applied to the patient's skin as located using firm pressure while a stimulating pulse is applied as treatment. This action produces a remarkable and unexpected level of pain relief over a wide area. Aspects of the disclosure extend to a method for the treatment of chronic pain using the above-mentioned parameters and procedures.

  • Patent number: 8849407
    Abstract: In a patient suffering from neural impairment, stimulation is provided to sensory surfaces of the face and/or neck, or more generally to areas of the body that stimulate the trigeminal nerve, while performing an activity intended to stimulate a brain function to be rehabilitated. The simulation may then be continued after the performance of the activity has ceased. It has been found that the patient's performance of the activity is then improved after stimulation has ceased. Moreover, it tends to improve to a greater extent, and/or for a longer time, when the post-activity stimulation is applied, as compared to when post-activity stimulation is not applied.

  • Publication number: 20080058915
    Abstract: This invention is related to a facial membrane mask and its device for cosmetic and health care applications. This invention is particularly related to transcutaneous electric acupoint stimulators and cosmetic facial membrane masks. The combination of these two devices results in synergistic effects. This invention uses a facial membrane mask that can absorb skin care solution. Electrodes are integrated with the membrane at the positions which correspond to facial acupoints. When the wet facial membrane mask covers the face, the electric pulses generated by the stimulator can stimulate the corresponding acupoints, nerve or muscle. The stimulation results in acupuncture or massage effects. Therefore, both the traditional facial membrane's skin care effects, such as moisturizing and whitening etc., and acupuncture/massage effects can be obtained concurrently. Being able to modulate facial meridians and improve subcutaneous blood circulation, this invention is useful for cosmetic and health care purposes.

  • Patent number: 6181974
    Abstract: A facial contact electrode assembly for use in electrotherapy. A galvanic current is applied to acupuncture points of a human face by adjustable electrodes. A screw head on the distal end of the electrode comes into contact with the face of a user. The screw head is rotateably adjustable whereby rotation of the screw in a first direction causes advancement of the screw head towards the user's face and counterrotation causes retraction of the screw head. Therefore, when employing an array of electrodes for electrotherapy of the face, each individual electrode can be lengthened or shortened to adjust to the individual characteristics of the user's face. Further adjustment is automatically achieved by each electrode using a resilient conductive spring enclosed within the housing of each electrode. The spring biases the electrode against the face of the user while carrying the galvanic current from an electrical power source to the screw head.

  • Patent number: 5527357
    Abstract: A galvanic current is applied to acupuncture points of a human face by electrodes that are mounted in a predetermined array on a mask-like device that overlies the face. Each electrode is movable along its longitudinal axis so that its leading end is positionable into abutting relation to the face of the wearer of the mask. A low voltage is applied to each electrode and facial tissue is stimulated by a galvanic current that flows between the electrode and a remote ground. An electronic circuit controls activation of each electrode in accordance with a predetermined pattern to provide an optimal, systematic treatment, but the circuit may be overridden in favor of a manual activation of the electrodes so that the treatment may be provided in accordance with any pattern. A rubber sheath overlies the leading end of each electrode and has an enlarged, disc-shaped leading end to ensure treatment of all areas of the face that require stimulation.
