摘要:
An apparatus for transcutaneous stimulation of nerves in humans, the apparatus comprising: a housing; stimulation means mounted inside the housing to electrically stimulate the nerves; an electrode configuration releasably mounted in the housing and which can be connected to the stimulation means, the electrode configuration comprising a plurality of electrodes for the electrical stimulation of the nerves; control means mounted in the housing and electrically connected to the stimulation means to control at least one characteristic of the stimulation means; user interface means mounted in the housing and electrically connected to the control means to control the stimulation means; and a belt attached to the housing; wherein the belt is configured to hold the housing, the stimulation means and the electrode configuration in a specific anatomical position for the treatment of pain; characterized in that the control means are configured to determine the intensity of therapeutic stimulation to electrically stimulate the nerves, wherein the control means are adapted such that the intensity of therapeutic stimulation is determined: by causing the stimulation means to apply stimulation Transcutaneous electrical nerve to a patient at a first intensity of stimulation; causing the stimulation means to automatically increase the stimulation intensity from said first stimulation intensity until an electrotactile sensing threshold is identified by the user using the user interface means; and calculating the intensity of therapeutic stimulation from the threshold of electrotouching sensation by automatically adding a gap of predetermined intensity to the stimulation intensity associated with the threshold of electrotouching sensation.Un aparato para la estimulación transcutánea de nervios en seres humanos, comprendiendo el aparato: un alojamiento; medios de estimulación montados dentro del alojamiento para estimular eléctricamente los nervios; una configuración de electrodos mont
