Abstract

An apparatus for treatment by therapy of a human or animal body comprises a treatment unit (1) including a casing (20), a battery (41) and means for generating and delivering microcurrent pulses (40, 46, 47, 48, 49), a carrier (2) adapted to be attached to the human or animal body, including a pair of electrodes (3, 4) to contact the body at spaced locations, and means (7) for connecting the electrodes (3, 4) to the treatment unit (1) to receive the microcurrent pulses, in which the treatment unit (1) has a single port (23), acting as an input for charging the battery (41) and as an output for the electrode connection means (7) for delivery of the pulses.
