ELECTRICAL TREATMENT APPARATUS, SYSTEM, AND COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM STORING PROGRAM
First Claim
1. An electrical treatment apparatus comprising:
- an electrode to be brought in contact with a body part;
a voltage regulator to regulate a voltage applied to the electrode to provide electrical stimulation to the body part; and
a control circuit to control, while the control circuit is performing a treatment mode in which the voltage regulator is controlled to apply a voltage at a first voltage value corresponding to the treatment mode to the electrode, the voltage regulator to switch a value of the voltage applied to the electrode from the first voltage value to a larger second voltage value at which high intensity of electrical stimulation not used in the treatment mode is discernible and to thereafter switch the value of the voltage from the second voltage value to the first voltage value.

Abstract
An electrical treatment apparatus includes an electrode contactable with a body part, a voltage regulator to regulate a voltage applied to the electrode to provide electrical stimulation to the body part, and a control circuit to control the electrical treatment apparatus. While the control circuit is performing the treatment mode in which the voltage regulator is controlled to apply a voltage at a first voltage value corresponding to the treatment mode to the electrode, the control circuit controls the voltage regulator to switch a value of the voltage applied to the electrode from the first voltage value to a second voltage value and to thereafter switch the voltage value from the second voltage value to the first voltage value.
