Microcurrent and cranial electrotherapy stimulator for control of anxiety, insomnia, depression and pain
First Claim
1. An electromedical device for producing electrical waveforms to be introduced into an individual'"'"'s body for treating pain, anxiety, insomnia and depression, comprising:
- a first waveform generator producing a first electrical waveform having a current and frequency said first electrical waveform including a series of positive and negative pulses and a series of positive and negative spikes, each of said positive pulses directly following a positive spike, and each of said negative pulses directly following a negative spike, wherein said first electrical waveform pierces the skin resistance to drive said positive and negative pulses into the individual'"'"'s body;
first and second electrodes in communication with said waveform generator for contact with the individual'"'"'s skin, thereby introducing said electrical waveform into the individual'"'"'s body for transmission to the individual'"'"'s brain;
a device for setting the frequency of said first electrical waveform; and
a device for setting the current of said first electrical waveform,wherein, applying said electrical waveform to the body of the individual would treat pain, anxiety, insomnia and depression.

Abstract
A device for controlling anxiety, insomnia, depression and pain utilizing a microcurrent and cranial electrotherapy stimulation. The device could also be utilized to treat other types of stress-related disorders. A relatively low level current having a particular frequency is produced by the device in two channels wherein the current for both of the channels can be different. Electrodes are placed at various points of the patient'"'"'s body to relieve pain. When utilized to control anxiety, insomnia and depression, a single channel is produced which is applied to the patient'"'"'s ear lobes by two ear clips.
