ABSTRACT:
An electrical stimulation apparatus and method for applying an electrical stimulation to a lesion. The apparatus includes a housing having a battery and an electrical circuit mounted inside the housing. A pair of electrodes are removably mounted to the housing and extend therefrom so as to accommodate being touched to the skin on opposite sides of the lesion. A switch on the housing allows the user to selectively supply electrical energy to the electrodes. A first light on the housing is illuminated when the switch is depressed thereby providing a visual indication that electrical energy is being supplied to the electrodes. A second light on the housing provides a visual indication of a low battery condition. A closure is mountable to the housing and encloses the electrodes, switch, and light within the closure. The size and shape of the housing and closure are specifically designed to allow the user to carry the electrical stimulation apparatus at all times and to encourage its frequent use at any time and under almost any circumstance.
