Embodiment Construction

[0037] Before the present invention is explained in detail, it should be noted that the application and use of the present invention are not limited to the details of construction and arrangement of parts shown in the drawings and description. The illustrative embodiments of the invention can be implemented or incorporated in other embodiments, variations and modifications, and can be practiced or carried out in various ways. For example, although the invention has been described in detail with respect to nerve stimulation in a female body, it should be understood that the invention could be readily adapted to a male body, and to children as well as adults. The principles, devices and methods of the invention disclosed herein can also be used to stimulate multiple other nerves independently or simultaneously, such as stimulating nerves during childbirth, or selectively stimulating branches of a given nerve bundle to selectively address different patient conditions. Thus, the ...

Abstract

The invention relates to a device and a method for transdermally stimulating selected body parts of a mammal which includes a first waveform generator for generating a first waveform having a first frequency capable of stimulating a first predetermined body part, a second waveform generator for generating a carrier waveform having a second frequency capable of passing through tissue of the mammal, and a third waveform generator for generating a third waveform having a third frequency different from and out of phase with that of the first waveform, and capable of stimulating a second predetermined body part. A modulation device is electrically coupled to the first, second and third waveform generators and modulates the carrier, first, and third waveforms to create a modulated signal package. A first electrode is electrically coupled to the modulation device and positioned substantially adjacent to the skin of the mammal to apply the modulated signal package thereto.
