Description

Elektro-therapeutisches Gerät zur analgetischen Beeinflussung der Nerven und Behandlung von Erkrankungen mittels eines elektrischen Feldes Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein elektro-therapeutisches Gerät zur analgetischen Beeinflussung der Nerven und der Behandlung von Neuralgien, rheumatischen Erkrankungen und degenerativen oder entzündlichen Gelenkerkrankungen mit zwei am Körper des Patienten anzubringenden, an eine Spannungsquelle angeschlossenen Elektroden, von denen die eine isoliert und die andere nicht isoliert ist.Electro-therapeutic device for analgesic manipulation of the Nerves and treatment of diseases by means of an electric field The invention refers to an electro-therapeutic device for analgesic manipulation of the nerves and the treatment of neuralgia, rheumatic diseases and degenerative diseases or inflammatory joint disease with two to be attached to the patient's body, Electrodes connected to a voltage source, one of which insulates and the other is not isolated.

Es sind Vorrichtungen bekannt, bei denen mit Hilfe einer nicht isolierten, mit dem Körper des Patienten in elektrischem Kontakt stehenden Elektrode und einer elektrisch isolierten zweiten Elektrode, deren am Körper des Patienten zur Anlage gelangende Glashülle als Dielektrikum wirkt, ein impulsförmiges elektrisches Feld erzeugt wird. Derartige Vorrichtungen arbeiten mit hochfrequenten elektrischen Feldern und haben daher den Nachteil, daß zwischen den Elektroden ein Strom fließt, der zu Schädigungen Anlaß geben kann. Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, derartige Nachteile auszuschalten. Diese Aufgabe wird in einfacher Weise dadurch gelöst, daß bei einer Behandlungseinrichtung der eingangs genannten Art erfindungsgemäß die isolierte, auf der erkankten Körperstelle anzubringende Elektrode aus einer durch eine Isolierschicht völlig abgedeckten flächenhaften Metallfolie besteht und daß die angelegte Spannung und Frequenz so gewählt werden, daß unter der isolierten Elektrode im zu behandelnden Körperteil ein höchstens niederfrequentes elektrisches Feld erzeugt wird, jedoch zwischen den nebeneinander angeordneten Elektroden noch kein Strom fließt. Da es je nach Art der Erkrankung und Sensibilität des Patienten zweckmäßig ist, auf die zu behandelnden Körperteile in verschiedener Weise einwirken zu können, empfiehlt es sich, dafür zu sorgen, daß bei dem zugrunde liegenden elektro-therapeutischen Gerät in weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung die Elektroden an einen regelbaren Generator und gegebenenfalls über einen Umschalter an einen Impulsgenerator angeschlossen werden können. Devices are known in which, with the aid of a non-isolated, in electrical contact with the patient's body and an electrode electrically isolated second electrode, which is to be applied to the patient's body The incoming glass envelope acts as a dielectric, a pulse-shaped electrical field is produced. Such devices work with high-frequency electrical fields and therefore have the disadvantage that a current flows between the electrodes, which can give rise to damage. The invention is based on the object of such Eliminate disadvantages. This object is achieved in a simple manner in that in a treatment device of the type mentioned according to the invention insulated electrode to be attached to the recessed part of the body from a through an insulating layer is completely covered sheet metal foil and that the applied voltage and frequency can be chosen so that under the isolated Electrode in the part of the body to be treated is at most a low-frequency electrical one Field is generated, but still between the adjacent electrodes no electricity flows. As it depends on the nature of the disease and the sensitivity of the patient it is expedient to act on the body parts to be treated in different ways To be able to, it is advisable to ensure that with the underlying electro-therapeutic In a further embodiment of the invention, the electrodes are connected to a controllable device Generator and possibly connected to a pulse generator via a changeover switch can be.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wird an Hand der Zeichnung schematisch veranschaulicht. An embodiment of the invention is based on the drawing illustrated schematically.

Es zeigt Fig. 1 eine Aufsicht auf die mehrteilige Vorrichtung gemäß der Erfindung, deren metallische Schichten einem Körperteil zugeordnet sind, F i g. 2 einen Schnitt durch die gegenüber dem Körperteil elektrisch isolierte metallische Schicht gemäß Fig. 1.1 shows a plan view of the multi-part device according to FIG of the invention, the metallic layers of which are assigned to a body part, F i G. 2 shows a section through the metallic, electrically insulated from the body part Layer according to FIG. 1.

Im Falle des Ausführungsbeispiels ist angenommen, daß eine entzündliche Gelenkerkrankung (Epicondylitis) behandelt werden soll. Im Bereich des Ellenbogengelenkes wird beispielsweise mit Bandagenstreifen 1 eine durch eine elektrisch isolierende Schicht 2 vollständig abgedeckte Metallfolie 3, welche die eine Elektrode darstellt, festgelegt, die über eine Leitung 4 an eine Klemme 5 eines Ge häuses 6 angeschlossen ist, dem ein Umschalter 7 zugeordnet ist. Zweckmäßigerweise in der Nähe der Auflage 2, 3 - also ebenfalls am Arm - wird eine metallische Schicht, wie Metallfolie 8, welche die andere Elektrode darstellt, festgelegt, die mit einer ihrer beiden Breitseitenflächen unmittelbar auf der Haut aufliegt. Iber eine Leitung9 ist die Metallfolie 8 od. dgl. an eine Klemme 10 des Gehäuses 6 angeschlossen. Die Leitungen 4, 9 sind, je nachdem, in welcher Lage sich der Umschalter 7 befindet, über einen von Hand regelbaren Generatorll und Leitungen 12, 13 bzw. einen Impulsgenerator 14 und Leitungen 15, 16 an eine Spannungsquelle, beispielsweise das Wechselstromnetz, angeschlossen. Im Fall des Ausführungsbeispiels ist die angelegte Spannung über den Generator 11 regelbar. Ist der Umschalter 7 in die gestrichelte Stellung umgelegt, dann ist die Spannung durch den Impulsgenerator 14 beeinflußbar. In the case of the exemplary embodiment, it is assumed that an inflammable Joint disease (epicondylitis) should be treated. In the area of the elbow joint is for example with bandage strips 1 by an electrically insulating Layer 2 completely covered metal foil 3, which represents one electrode, set, which is connected via a line 4 to a terminal 5 of a housing 6 Ge is to which a switch 7 is assigned. Appropriately near the support 2, 3 - also on the arm - a metallic layer, such as metal foil 8, which represents the other electrode, fixed with one of its two broad side surfaces rests directly on the skin. The metal foil 8 is od via a line 9. The like. Connected to a terminal 10 of the housing 6. Lines 4, 9 are, respectively depending on the position in which the switch 7 is located, via a manually controllable one Generatorll and lines 12, 13 or a pulse generator 14 and lines 15, 16 connected to a voltage source, for example the alternating current network. In the case of the exemplary embodiment, the applied voltage is across the generator 11 adjustable. If the switch 7 is switched to the dashed position, then the The voltage can be influenced by the pulse generator 14.
