Apparatus for treatment by the effect, on the pinnae of the ears of human or animal subjects, of modulated electric fields

摘要

The treatment apparatus according to the invention comprises at least one probe 3 connected to a voltage generator 1 supplying a periodic triangular output signal with a frequency lying between 0.05 hertz and 0.2 hertz, the probe 3 comprising a conducting plate 7 connected to the generator 1 and a bell 5, 6 made of a dielectric material forming a chamber 4 for accommodating the pinnae 14 of the ear of the subject thus exposed to the electric fields emitted by the plate 7 raised to the variable output voltage of the generator 1. The bottom 6 of the bell comprises, on the side of the ear 14, a polarising coating 11. <IMAGE>
