Acupoint electrical stimulation method and device for auxiliary treatment of inflammatory pain

Abstract

The invention discloses an acupoint electrical stimulation method and an acupoint electrical stimulation device for auxiliary treatment of inflammatory pain. The acupoint electrical stimulation method is characterized by outputting a bidirectional symmetric rectangular pulse current with output frequency of 2/120Hz, when the frequency is 2Hz, the wave width is 400mu s, when the frequency is 120Hz, the wave width is 100mu s, and sparse waves and dense waves each last 3 seconds, thereby achieving pain alleviation for inflammatory pain. The device for implementing the acupoint electrical stimulation method comprises a pulse generator and electrodes. The acupoint electrical stimulation method and the acupoint electrical stimulation device can obviously increase the secretion of central nerve endogenous enkephalin and beta-endorphin, inhibits generation of peripheral IL-1beta, has anti-inflammatory and pain alleviating effects, is conductive to alleviating the inflammatory pain, offers intelligent operation for a patient to relieve pain by using an instrument on his own, and can improve life quality of patients with pain.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an analgesic device and method, in particular to an acupoint electrical stimulation method and device for auxiliary treatment of inflammatory pain. Background technique [0002] Pain is a complex subjective feeling caused by noxious stimuli. It is like a "double-edged sword". On the one hand, it can provide an alarm signal when the body is threatened, and protect the tissue from Injury is an indispensable protective function of the body; on the other hand, severe or long-term pain will cause physiological dysfunction and psychological discomfort of the body, which is a major clinical problem. Inflammatory pain is the most common clinical pain type, such as various arthritis, gout, rheumatoid arthritis, etc. all belong to inflammatory pain. It can be said that as long as there is inflammation, there is "inflammatory pain". Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are the gold standard for treating inflammatory pain, such a...
