Ergonometric transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator

摘要

An ergonometric transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator (10) especially designed for dysmenorrhea and low back pain. The ergonometric factors include a housing containing the electrical circuit, the housing (12) being of a generally flattened disk shape with well rounded edges. A first power switch (14) is located on a side edge of the housing (12), and one or more rocker switches (18, 20) controlling the amplitude of the current stimulation pulses (38) to be supplied by one or more channels from the stimulator (10) are mounted on a side edge of the housing (12). The housing (12) of the stimulator (10) has one or more attachment points (32, 34) on the side edge of the housing (12) to allow for connection of the housing (12) to a body or garment strap (60, 62).
