PCT No. PCT/DE91/00772 Sec. 371 Date Jun. 10, 1992 Sec. 102(e) Date Jun. 10, 1992 PCT Filed Oct. 1, 1991 PCT Pub. No. WO92/06736 PCT Pub. Date Apr. 30, 1992.The invention refers to a patch arrangement for electric elimination of muscle spasms. The invention is based upon the object to employ electrotherapy through stable galvanization without external voltage source to attain high efficiency and to make it overall more practical. In accordance with the invention, the object is attained by arranging a plane electrode of different metals at both sides of the affected area. A further metal electrode is applied onto both of these skin contact electrodes at the other side or body-distant side thereof wherein the metals of these electrodes may correspond to those of both skin electrodes, however, with opposing polarity according to the electrochemical series. Both obtained compact bimetallic electrodes are insulated at their border against electrolytic shorting and attached to the body by means of the electrocardiographic electrode patch which is available in the medical trade. Moreover, by suitably selecting the metals, two additional galvanic elements are obtained upon the skin in series with the galvanic element composed of two different metals and already known in the literature. |
