| 20100280573 | METHOD FOR ELECTRICAL STIMULATION OF CUTANEOUS SENSORY RECEPTORS - A method of stimulating sensory nerves is disclosed that comprises the steps of providing an electrode plate with a pattern of needle-like (NL) electrodes and conductive plate (CP) electrodes disposed on a front face of the plate element, the NL electrodes being configured to apply electrical stimulation to cutaneous Aδ/C fibers, and the CP electrodes being configured to apply electrical stimulation to cutaneous Aβ fibers; mounting the electrode plate on a patient's skin with the front face in an abutting relationship with the patient's skin, the abutting relationship causing the NL electrodes to penetrate the epidermis of the patient's skin; and applying electrical stimulation to the patient's skin via the pattern of NL electrodes and CP electrodes, the electrical stimulation being applied so that Aβ fiber input from the CP electrodes overlaps in time at the patient's spinal cord and/or brain stem with Aδ/C fiber input from the NL electrodes. | 11-04-2010 |
| 20100274327 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR STIMULATING SENSORY NERVES - An electrotherapy system for stimulating sensory nerves within skin tissue includes a electrode carrier, a pulse generator, an array of skin-penetrating electrodes and surface skin electrodes, a pulse conditioning circuit, and a power source. The system administers biphasic pulsed current at the surface skin electrodes and monophasic pulsed current at each skin-penetrating electrode. The skin-penetrating surfaces and skin contact surfaces of the electrotherapy system may be sterilized or may be replaceable for outpatient reusability. | 10-28-2010 |
