PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electric potential therapy device where, when a user operates an operating part, the user do not receive an electric shock or a feeling caused by an electric discharge characteristic of electric potential.SOLUTION: By a high voltage generating part 10, an electric potential therapy device generates a high voltage, whose therapeutic mode and voltage value are designated by an operating part 40. Thereafter, the electric potential therapy device applies a high electric potential to a human body P sitting on an electrode 20. When a user makes his/her hand and finger close to the operating part 40, trying to operate the operating part 40 in order to change the therapeutic mode or the voltage, access detecting means which is provided on the periphery of the operating part detects access before the hand and finger touch the operating part 40, and then instantly drops down an output voltage of the high voltage generating part 10.COPYRIGHT: (C)2015,JPO&INPIT【課題】利用者が操作部を操作する際に電撃や電位特有の放電感を受けることのない電位治療器を提供する。【解決手段】電位治療器は高電圧発生部10によって、操作部40で指定された治療モードと電圧値の高電圧を発生し、導子20に着座している人体Pに高電位を印加する。利用者が治療モードや電圧を変更するために操作部40を操作しようとして手指を操作部40に近づけると、操作部近傍に設けられた接近検出手段は手指が操作部40に触れる前に接近を検出し、高電圧発生部10の出力電圧を瞬時に降下させる。【選択図】図1
