Abstract
An electro-stimulation apparatus provides stimulation of the supplementary motor area, premotor area, cerebellum and/or subthalamic nucleus of a human. The electro-stimulation apparatus includes at least one micro needle electrode having a stimulation end and a base. Said at least one micro needle electrode is provided with a stimulation end configured to stimulate intrinsic auricular muscles of the human and said stimulation end of said micro needle electrode is adapted to generate an electrical stimulation signal during a stimulating state.
Claims21
An electro-stimulation apparatus comprising:
- at least one micro needle electrode having a stimulation end and a base,
- said at least one micro needle electrode being provided with the stimulation end configured to stimulate intrinsic auricular muscles of a human and
- said stimulation end of said micro needle electrode is adapted to generate an electrical stimulation signal during a stimulating state;
- said micro needle electrode being detachably coupled with the base by a mechanical connection.
An electro-stimulation apparatus comprising:
- a base made of conductive material;
- and
- a micro needle electrode mechanically assembled with the base to enable disassembly and replacement of the micro needle electrode;
- the micro needle electrode comprising a stimulation end opposite the base, the stimulation end configured for insertion through auricular skin of a human to stimulate intrinsic auricular muscles of the human;
- the stimulation end of said micro needle electrode configured to conduct an electrical stimulation signal into the intrinsic auricular muscles of the human during a stimulating state, wherein the base is configured to remain on top of the auricular skin and the electrical stimulation signal is conducted through the base to the micro needle electrode.
