LIVING BODY STIMULATOR

摘要

Provided is a living body stimulator capable of bringing about a stable treatment effect through a light stimulation without increasing the temperature of an irradiation surface more than necessary. This invention is a living body stimulator for stimulating a living body through a light irradiation from a light source. This stimulator includes a temperature sensor for detecting the temperature of the irradiation surface in contact with the living body; and a brightness control unit for changing and controlling the brightness of the light source such that the temperature of the irradiation surface becomes not higher than 42° C., by receiving a detection output from the temperature sensor. The brightness control unit is capable of extending a period of irradiation from the light source in accordance with a decrease in the brightness thereof, when decreasing such brightness through a control regulation.

1. A living body stimulator for stimulating a living body through a light irradiation from a light source, comprising:
a temperature detection unit for detecting a temperature of an irradiation surface in contact with the living body; and a brightness control unit for variably controlling a brightness of said light source such that the temperature of said irradiation surface becomes not higher than 42° C., by receiving a detection output from said temperature detection unit, said brightness control unit extending an irradiation period of said light source in accordance with a decrease in the brightness of said light source when the brightness of said light source has been decreased through control.
