Abstract
For an apparatus for electrotherapeutic applications operating in the medium-frequency range between 1000 Hz and 100,000 Hz where, in relation to a body part to be treated, a circuit with medium-frequency current (MF current) is applied across two electrodes, the invention proposes to keep the amplitude of the MF current constant and to modulate the frequency by one thousand to several thousand Hz (corner frequencies) with a modulation frequency of >0 to several hundred Hz (for instance 200 Hz) in order to generate in synchronism with the modulation frequency action potentials in the treatment area.
Claims12
An apparatus for electrotherapeutic applications operating in a medium-frequency range between 1000 Hz and 100,000 Hz comprising;
- a circuit capable of generating a medium-frequency current of constant amplitude;
- a modulator operatively coupled to said circuit and capable of frequency modulating the medium frequency output of said circuit;
- two electrodes operatively coupled to said circuit to receive the modulated output of said circuit, the modulated output having a modulation interval of one thousand to several thousand Hz (corner frequencies) with a modulation frequency of >0 to several hundred Hz (for instance 200 Hz) in order to generate in synchronism with the modulation frequency action potentials in the treatment area.
