Abstract
Example electro-stimulation apparatuses and methods involve generating pulses having preset values of typical parameters. A number of sub-phases forming a sequence of the pulses are applied to organism, the sequence including an initial pulse an a final pulse. A substantial variation of at least one typical parameter is performed at a moment between the initial pulse and the final pulse. The frequency of the pulses is varied by causing between two consecutive sub-phases a frequency discontinuity greater than 60 Hz preceded by sub-phases having non-constant frequencies.

Electro-stimulation apparatus, comprising an electric-pulse generating device arranged to generate pulses having preset values of typical parameters, an applying arrangement arranged to apply a number of sub-phases forming a sequence of said pulses to an organism, said sequence comprising an initial pulse and a final pulse, said apparatus further comprising a variation arrangement arranged to perform a substantial variation of at least one typical parameter at a moment comprised between said initial pulse and said final pulse, said variation arrangement comprising means programmed to vary frequency of said pulses by causing between two consecutive sub-phases a frequency discontinuity greater than 60 Hz preceded by sub-phases having non-constant frequencies.
A method of electro-stimulating an organism, comprising generating electric pulses having preset values of typical parameters and applying a number of sub-phases forming a sequence of said pulses to said organism, said sequence comprising an initial pulse and a final pulse, wherein said generating comprises the step of varying considerably at least one typical parameter at a moment comprised between said initial pulse and said final pulse and wherein the step of varying comprises modifying frequency of said pulses by causing between two consecutive sub-phases a frequency discontinuity greater than 60 Hz preceded by sub-phases having non-constant frequencies.
A support readable by a data processing device, containing a plurality of data with preset values of typical parameters, said data being intended to originate a number of sub-phases forming a sequence of electric pulses to be applied to an organism by means of electro-stimulation techniques, said sequence comprising an initial pulse and a final pulse, wherein a substantial variation of at least one typical parameter is provided in said sequence at a moment comprised between said initial pulse and said final pulse, said substantial variation comprising, between two consecutive sub-phases, a frequency discontinuity greater than 60 Hz preceded by sub-phases having non-constant frequencies.
