This invention relates to a new type of apparatus designed to modulate the neurovegetative system and integrate the neurovegetative action with that of the central nervous system. The method is not invasive, because it uses pulses transmitted through the skin; the intensity of the stimulus is controlled directly by the patient in order to achieve better integration with the central nervous system. This invention effectively treats vascular disorders resulting from obstruction of the arteries of the legs, heart and brain because it induces vasodilatation and increases blood flow and the production of new blood vessels. The method also improves lesions of the spinal column, especially those affecting the back and neck, and other orthopaedic disorders.
Apparatus for the treatment of vascular and/or muscle and/or tendon disorders and/or to increase the production of VEGF, comprising:
Apparatus as claimed in each of the preceding claims, wherein the voltage of the pulses applied is controlled by the patient/user by suitable means.
Apparatus as claimed in each of the preceding claims, characterised in that it includes a pair of electrodes designed to transmit the said pulses, one of which can be applied to the motor point and the other to the muscle belly in the area to be treated.
Apparatus as claimed in each of the preceding claims, characterised in that the said means designed to transmit the said pulses include devices able to vary the voltage, amplitude and frequency of the said pulses.
Apparatus as claimed in each of the preceding claims, characterised in that it includes means designed to regulate the amplitude and frequency of the pulses, which said means are activated directly by the patient.
A method of the treatment of vascular and/or muscle and/or tendon disorders, comprising:
A method for increasing the VEGF in a patient in need thereof, comprising:
