ELECTRODE DEVICE FOR TRANSCRANIAL ELECTROSTIMULATION Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC A61N1/18 A61N1/36 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to therapeutic devices for application in transcranial electrostimulation by the application of a respective electric impulse to ears simultaneously with playing music, which the patient hears. The device contains a generator of transcranial electrostimulation impulses, a generator of the sound signal, a control unit, a pair of audioearphones. The generator of transcranial electrostimulation impulses is made with a possibility of creating an electric impulse, which has such a frequency and duration as to provide the required microcurrent through the head. The control unit is made in the form of a microprocessor, controlling data of the electrostimulation impulse generator and the generator of the sound signal. Each audioearphone contains an electrode, transmitting electric current, for the application of the said impulses, produced by the impulse generator, into the area of the patient's ear. Each of the audioearphones and the respective electrode are combined into an electrode device, with the electrode of each electrode device being located on an external surface of the respective audioearphone, suitable for installation in an orifice of the auditory canal of the ear or inside it. The electrode of each electrode device has an area of electric contact for functional transmission of electric energy between the electrode and the patient's skin with the installed electrode device. The electrode devices are made with a possibility of installation in the orifice of the auditory canal of the respective ear of the said patient.

EFFECT: application of the invention increases convenience of carrying out electrostimulation and simplifies installation of the equipment on a patient.
