ABSTRACT:
A non-invasive percutaneously acting apparatus for relieving constipation or diarrhea and appropriately stimulating peristaltic movement in the human gastro-intestinal (GI) tract. The apparatus includes an annular or toroidal shaped hollow housing having a working surface on one side thereof. A multi-point electrode generally coextensive with the working surface includes a plurality of point electrodes each separately mounted in and preferably biasingly moveably extend outwardly from the working surface. A d.c. pulse generator selectively and sequentially connectable to the point electrodes whereby, when the working surface is positioned against or in close proximity to the skin over the GI tract, the point electrodes deliver electrical pulses percutaneously and sequentially moving from one point electrode to the next adjacent point electrode repeatedly around the working surface.
