ABSTRACT:
An electrical therapeutic assembly and method for reducing pain and edema in a hand uses an electrically conducting material contiguously disposed with respect to the skin on an area enveloped by said conducting material. The skin is free of any externally applied mediums so that there is a substantially dry contact between the skin and the electrically conducting medium. A substantially uniform electric current is passed throughout the entire conducting medium to apply the current to the enveloped area. The electric current is applied at a shock pulse rate sufficient to reduce pain in the enveloped area without causing heat build-up within the tissue of the human body. A particular feature of the assembly makes use of a woven, mesh metal material that is in direct contact with the area of the human body and effective to apply electrical shock pulses over the entire enveloped area. The metal mesh material is in the form of a glove for enveloping a hand.
