Definitions
- the invention is in the field of autonomous electrotherapy devices comprising contact electrodes for applying an electric current to the body of a patient. It relates to a portable device comprising means for treating a patient by stimulation at specific points on the patient's body, with a view to particular treatments.
- These elements are for example permanent magnets as described by DE3227506 (BLUM KLAUS JUERGEN DR) and US3921620 (NAKAYAMA TAKEO), magnetic fibers or magnetic resins as described by US5807233 (SAKUNA TETSUO ET AL) or magnetic powders such as described by FR1215110 (TANAKA M SHOICHI).
- the aim of the present invention is to propose a portable device for treatment by stimulation of a plurality of metabolic dysfunctions for the same patient.
- the device proposed by the present invention is a device comprising a source of electrical energy housed in a support, which is provided with electrically conductive pads.
- This support is further equipped with an easily reversible holding member for the support on the patient's body in particular places where a treatment is applied.
- These pads are electrically connected to an electrical stimulator mounted on the support.
- each tablet is electrically connected to at least one other tablet by means of electrical connections in relation to the stimulator, to which connections corresponds to a specific treatment.
- the device comprises means for selection by the patient between at least any one of the connections between at least two pellets, from among all of the connections connecting them to each other.
- the patient chooses, by means of selection, the appropriate link which connects the lozenges to treat the chosen metabolic dysfunction.
- the means for selecting the pellets comprise at least any one, first of all electronic means for electronic selection from among the electrical connections of the pellets between them, and secondly of the means for detachably fixing the pellets to the support to break by their withdrawal their connection at least any of the other pellets.
- the removable fixing means are for example any one of the means comprising screwing, clipping, magnetic means, repositionable adhesives and means with air depression.
- the selection means are of the electronic type
- these preferably comprise first memory combination means for putting the pellets into contact with each other, and are placed for their implementation under the dependence of a first patient control device, such as first push button or first switch.
- a first patient control device such as first push button or first switch.
- the choice by the user of a given combination from a plurality of pre-stored combinations is carried out either from a plurality of presses successively applied by the patient to the first push button, or from a position of a switch among a plurality of positions assigned to a respective combination.
- the device preferably comprises means for sequencing the implementation of the stimulator to vary the frequency of the pulses delivered to the pellets.
- the implementation of these sequencing means is placed under the dependence of a second control member by the patient.
- the second control member is a push button or a switch, in the case of a discrete variation of the frequencies, which is associated with second memory means of predetermined frequencies, for an operation similar to that mentioned above of the first control member.
- the second control member is a potentiometer, in the case of a continuous variation of the frequencies.
- the implementation of the stimulator is placed under the dependence of chronometric means associated with third memory means, in connection with a third control member, to allow the patient to select the moment and the duration of the treatment he wishes. apply.
- the device also preferably comprises means for viewing the treatment applied, such as a diode, the implementation of which is placed under the dependence of the stimulator.
- the pellets are substantially pointed and include in their zone of contact with the patient's body a head formed from a respective metal, preferably and incidentally magnetized.
- the source of electrical energy is preferably autonomous and is any one of the sources of electrical energy comprising a consumable battery, a rechargeable battery, and a solar collector.
- the pastilles are preferably arranged at the corners of adjacent identical elementary squares, which are arranged so as to form together a basic square, with the exception of at least any one of these corners which is devoid of pastille.
- the pad P2 preferably constitutes the mass of the device, and the connections include placing the pads in relation to each other according to the following combinations:
- each combination corresponds to a particular metabolic dysfunction to be treated. It should be noted that the same tablet is advantageously capable of participating in the treatment of several dysfunctions. This results in an optimization of the means used in the device of the present invention, to treat consecutively and / or simultaneously several dysfunctions.
- FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating above a device of the present invention, according to an exemplary embodiment applied to a bracelet.
- Fig.2 is a diagram illustrating in profile the device shown in Fig.1.
- Fig.3 is a diagram illustrating from below the device illustrated in the previous figures.
- a support 1 participating in the device of the invention is provided with two loops 2.2 ′ for the passage of a strap 3 for fixing the support 1 around one of the wrists of a patient.
- the upper face of the support 1 is provided with a first push button 4 for the implementation of an electric stimulator 5, electrically connected to pads, such as 6, by means of electrical connections 8 of the pads between them .
- the pads 6 are located on the other, lower face of the support 1.
- the support 1 also houses first memory means 14, cooperating with the first push button 4 to select various combinations of stimulation of some of the pads 6.
- these pellets 6 are each provided with a pointed head 7 to improve the precision of their contact against the patient's skin.
- these heads 7 are preferably formed from a specific and magnetic metal. It will also be noted that the pellets 6 are advantageously elastically mounted on the support 1.
- the upper face of the support 1 is provided with a second push button 11, for the implementation of sequencing means 16, in order to allow the patient to select the implementation of the stimulator 5 according to a sequencing, pre-memorized by second memory means 17, of frequencies of electrical pulses transmitted to the pads 6.
- second memory means 17 On this same upper face, is placed a display diode 9 of the frequency of the electrical pulses delivered by the stimulator 5, to which it is connected.
- the implementation of the stimulator 5 is also placed under the dependence of chronometric means 18, and third memory means 19 which are associated with them.
- the upper face of the support 1 is provided with a third push button 20, for the implementation of the chronometric means 18, in relation to the third memory means
- the support 1 also houses a source of electrical energy 10 for supplying the pellets 6 and the electronic means participating in the device.
- the pellets 6 are arranged in three rows and three columns forming a basic square ⁇ subdivided into four identical identical elementary squares, the first line comprising the pellets £ 1 and P2; the second line the pads P3, P4 and P_5 and the third line the pads P6, P7 and P8.
- the links 8 connect the pellets 6 to each other according to the following combinations, each combination corresponding to a specific treatment for a metabolic dysfunction of the patient: a) In a first combination, the pellets P6, P3, P8 and P5 are linked together to tend to help the patient against being overweight. b) In a second combination, the P6, P3, P7 and P8 tablets are linked together to tend to help the patient overcome stress, anxiety and phobia. c) In a third combination the pellets P1, P3, P6, P4 and P8 are linked together to tend to help the patient overcome insomnia. d) In a fourth combination, the pellets P4, P8 and P6 are linked together to tend to help the patient to improve his memory skills. e) In a fifth combination the pellets P1.
- P6 and P8 are interconnected to tend to help the patient overcome smoking.
- the pastilles 6, the pastilles P6 and P4 are interconnected to tend to help the patient overcome impotence and frailty.
- the P4 and P8 lozenges are linked together to tend to help the patient overcome nausea, vomiting and motion sickness.
