An electro-acupuncture device for controlling nausea. The device includes a base unit which is includes a wrist-watch like housing, circuitry for generating electro-acupuncture stimulus disposed within the housing, and a strap for securing the housing to the wrist. The base unit has a standardized construction. The device also includes a releasably attachable electrode assembly. The electrode assembly attaches to the base unit of the device. The electrode assembly includes a pair of electrodes and connectors for connecting the electrodes to the circuitry of the base unit. The output of the device is dependent upon the circuitry of the electrode assembly. Thus various electrode assemblies can be made. The circuitry of the base unit modifies the output of the device depending upon which electrode assembly is attached to the base unit.

An electro-acupuncture device for controlling nausea. The device includes a wristwatch like housing, circuitry for generating electro-acupuncture stimulus disposed within the housing, and a strap for securing the housing to the wrist. The device also includes a pair of D-shaped electrodes disposed on the bottom outer surface of the housing. A gasket made of an electrically non-conductive material is applied to the bottom outer surface of the housing. The gasket has apertures which are sized and shaped to receive the D-shaped electrodes. When the device is strapped to a patient's wrist, the electrodes contact the wrist and provide electric stimulation to the wrist.

A hydrogel and scrim assembly adapted for use with an electro-acupuncture device to enhance electrical conduction between the device and the skin and to provide an impedance matching layer between the device and the skin. The assembly includes a scrim with conductive hydrogel masses disposed on the surface of the scrim. The hydrogel masses are sized and dimensioned so that when the pad is adapted to the device, the hydrogel masses do not bridge the electrodes to cause a short between the electrodes.

The present invention provides a novel device for portable percutaneous electrical nerve stimulation and electro-acupuncture. In the preferred embodiment, the device consists of a needle / electrode holder that has a linear electrode / needle guide channel and a power supply channel that intersects with the needle / electrode guide channel and serves for insertion of a pin electrode from an electrical generator (PENS unit). The pin electrode will provide an electrical contact with the needle and at the same time function as means for securing the needle in a desire position in the guide channel. The needle remains straight and the extended portion thereof is kept out of contact with the patient's skin.

An electro-acupuncture based appetite suppression device comprises a headset, having integrated therein a plurality of electrodes, for delivering to the tragus region of a user a mild electrical stimulus generated within a portable controller. The headset is in electrical communication with the controller through a conventional flexible cord provided with a plug. The controller comprises output circuits for delivering a 24 volt output and either a waveform generating circuit or a waveform conditioning circuit or both.

The invention relates to an intelligent body-shaping garment system with an electric needle stimulation function, and belongs to the technical field of physiotherapy body shaping. The intelligent body-shaping garment system comprises a garment body, a cloud service center, a mobile terminal, a microcontroller module, a DDS (direct digital synthesis) digital control frequency source, a stimulation generator module, an acupoint physiological parameter feedback circuit, a frequency and amplitude tracking circuit, a protection circuit and electronic silver needles; by combining the body-shaping garment and the electric needle stimulation, the electric needle stimulation device is additionally arranged on the garment; by mapping into the electric signal parameters by features of a traditional needle puncturing method, the corresponding relationship is established, the intensity, frequency, change and duration of the electric needle electric stimulation are adjusted by mobile terminals of a cloud platform, a mobile phone and the like, the particular acupoints of a human body are stimulated, and the purposes of weight losing and body shaping are easily realized; the expense of a large amount of time and money of a user is reduced. The intelligent body-shaping garment system has the advantages that the functions are perfect, the convenience in use is realized, the requirements of personalizing and safety are met, and the purposes of weight losing and body shaping are easily realized at any time and place.
