An electro-acupuncture device for controlling over active bladder is described. The device includes a housing, circuitry for generating electro-acupuncture stimulus disposed within the housing, and at least one strap for securing the housing to the ankle. The device also includes a pair of D-shaped electrodes received within the bottom outer surface of the housing. The housing of the device is flexible with a low profile and is shaped so that it is conformal to a person's ankle. When the device is strapped to a patient's ankle, the electrodes contact the ankle and provide electric stimulation to the tibial nerve within the ankle.

The invention provides an intelligent electric acupuncture apparatus. The electric acupuncture apparatus comprises an acupuncture point positioning and monitoring module, a main control module, a treatment scheme generation module, a treatment mode adjusting module, an electric pulse stimulation signal generation module, a display module, and a power module. The electric acupuncture apparatus can achieve the automatic positioning of the position of an acupuncture point, thereby enabling a user to be able to carry out electric acupuncture treatment more conveniently. Meanwhile, the electric acupuncture apparatus can intelligently adjust the treatment mode in a treatment process according to a treatment effect, thereby improving the intelligentization of the electric acupuncture apparatus.

The invention discloses an intelligent acupuncture system. The intelligent acupuncture system comprises an acupuncture electric needle, a storage device and a reminding device which are connected with a control device. The acupuncture electric needle is connected with a force feedback instrument which is connected with the control device. The control device is used for reading feedback data of the force feedback instrument and transmitting the data to the reminding device. The acupuncture electric needle is used for outputting corresponding pulse current for acupuncturing the needle inserting position according to treatment parameter information. The reminding device is used for reminding a user of case acupuncture scheme information. By means of the system, the user can acupuncture a patient according to the acupuncture scheme information of which the user is reminded by the reminding device; the system is particularly suitable for medical staff lack of experience, and medical staff can conduct acupuncture treatment according to the needle inserting position and needle inserting depth provided by experienced medical staff; when the system is used in cooperation with the electric needle, the treatment effect is better, and a path is laid for large-area popularization of acupuncture treatment.

The invention discloses an intelligent traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis and treatment robot and a use method thereof. The intelligent traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis comprises bottom moving wheels, a robot body, transmission large arms, a ventilation and heat dissipation plate and an electroacupuncture therapeutic device. A protection bottom plate is arranged above the bottom moving wheels. A robot body is connected above the protection bottom plate in a clamping manner. The transmission large arms are arranged on the two sides of the robot body, and the end portions of the transmission large arms are connected with connecting small arms through pin shafts. The intelligent traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis and treatment robot has the beneficial effects that firstly, computer memory is used, diagnosis and treatment theories and principles of medical classics such as the Emperor After and the Febrile Disease are collected and taken as the basis, an analyzing function ofa computer is used so that disease causes can be rapidly and correctly found and illness states can be diagnosed, corresponding classical prescriptions and proved recipes are used by suiting the case, and the purposes that traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis and treatment are simple and convenient are achieved; and secondly, the difficulty that treatment and judgment of doctors on illness states and disease causes of patients are biased due to influences of surrounding environments, personal characters, personal emotions and self physical conditions is overcome.

An exemplary method treating a chronic low back pain condition in a patient includes 1) generating, by an electroacupuncture device implanted beneath a skin surface of the patient, stimulation sessions at a duty cycle that is less than 0.05, and 2) applying, by the electroacupuncture device in accordance with the duty cycle, the stimulation sessions to a target tissue location within the patient by way of an electrode array located within the patient at an acupoint corresponding to the target tissue location.

An exemplary electroacupuncture device may be implanted beneath a skin surface of a patient at a location corresponding to a joint affected by osteoarthritis and may perform methods for treating the osteoarthritis. In some implementations, the electroacupuncture device is powered by a primary battery located within the electroacupuncture device and having an internal impedance greater than 5 ohms and a capacity of less than 60 milliamp-hours (mAh).

An exemplary method of treating a chronic low back pain condition in a patient includes 1) generating, by an electroacupuncture device implanted beneath a skin surface of the patient at at least one of acupoints BL22, BL23, BL24, BL25, and BL26 within the patient, stimulation sessions at a duty cycle that is less than 0.05, wherein the duty cycle is a ratio of T3 to T4 and each stimulation session included in the stimulation sessions has a duration of T3 minutes and occurs at a rate of once every T4 minutes, and 2) applying, by the electroacupuncture device, the stimulation sessions to the target tissue location in accordance with the duty cycle.

The invention discloses an electric acupuncture instrument which is used for solving a problem, which exists in the prior art, that therapy is discontinued because of electricity run-out generated when an electric acupuncture instrument is powered by a battery or an external power supply or the moving range of a user is restrained because of effect of the length of a power line. The electric acupuncture instrument includes a nano generator, a first electric acupuncture electrically connected with a first output end of the nano generator and a second electric acupuncture electrically connected with a second output end of the nano generator, wherein the nano generator is used for converting mechanical energy into electric energy and providing current to the first electric acupuncture and the second electric acupuncture and the first electric acupuncture and the second electric acupuncture are used for being placed at human body acupuncture points to realize acupuncture.
