ABSTRACT:
A method for use in treating a patient includes the steps of sensing temperature at a first predetermined point on the patient's skin, generating a first electrical signal encoding the sensed temperature, transmitting the first electrical signal to a computer, measuring electrical skin resistance at a second predetermined point on the patient's skin, generating a second electrical signal encoding the measured electrical skin resistance, and transmitting the second electrical signal to the computer. The computer is operated to automatically determine a mode, duration and intensity of treatment on at least one treatment point on the patient's skin in response to the first electrical signal and the second electrical signal. A treatment of the mode, duration and intensity determined by the computer is applied to the treatment point either through manual setting of controls or automatically under computer control.
