DEVICE FOR SEARCHING AND RADIO-FREQUENCY STIMULATION OF BIOLOGICALLY ACTIVE POINTS IN INTEGUMENT Russian patent published in 1997 - IPC

FIELD: reflexotherapy, particularly, treatment for diseases such as rhinitis, neuralgia, neurosis, insomnia, headache, colitis and so on. SUBSTANCE: device has screening implemented within outer surface of probe metal housing being in contact with skin site due to inserting electrode inside radiator body after search ending; proposed construction makes it possible to improve focusing during irradiating biologically active point in the vicinity of given site; also device has passive electrode and radiator connected to threshold circuit and generator with built-in timer through commutator and controllable key; moreover, radiator is made movable by means of input/output mechanism and supplied with contacting adjusting element made, for example, as magnetic head fixed on electrode tip with movable dielectric bush; insertion of electrode into radiator body after search ending, as well as during cure treatment, ensures reduction of irradiating zone to small skin site located in the vicinity of biologically active point and limited by outer surface of probe housing; using of magnetic head installed on electrode tip for contacting with magneto-controllable key allows to simplify switching on operative mode; dielectric spring-loaded bush has lug projected out of body, with lug diameter being 3-4 times as large as electrode one, and lug size being equal to (0.5 - 0.8)D, where D - bush diameter; these parameters are defined by empirical way with due regard for high-frequency wave propagation condition along coaxial line; generator is supplied with pulse-amplitude modulator ensuring possibility of electromassage. EFFECT: higher efficiency of treatment due to reducing size of irradiating zone. 5 cl, 3 dwg
