ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a device for treating a patient for neurological or muscular pain by neurostimulation comprising a pair of electrodes to be applied externally, ie. to the surface of the skin, in the region of the pain and to apply a current of between 0.2 and 12 mA at a frequency of between 1 and 50 Hz, and preferably between 2 and 10 Hz. Optimal results appear to be achieved when the applied current is between 3 and 10 mA. In use at least one of the electrodes, a stimulating electrode is used to accurately locate the pain and during treatment the electrode is applied to the patient's skin as located using mild pressure, while a stimulating pulse is applied as treatment. This action produces a remarkable and unexpected level of pain relief. The invention extends to a method for the treatment of neurological pain using the above parameters and procedure.
