<p>A method and apparatus for electrically stimulating the body of a subject measures the tissue resistance of the body at the treatment site before commencing the treatment. The initial measured resistance is passed to a microprocessor 22, and the microprocessor 22 selects a waveform depending on the initial measured resistance. The waveform is applied to the body at the treatment site via an output stage 14. The tissue resistance is continually measured during the treatment using a comparator 20, and the microprocessor 22 adjusts the amplitude of the initially selected waveform depending on each of these measured resistances during the treatment cycle.</p> |
