Portable unit for treating chronic pain
First Claim
1. A portable pain treatment unit, comprising:
- a first pulse generator configured to deliver pulses in a frequency range typical for interferential treatment;
a second pulse generator configured to deliver pulses in the frequency range for transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator (TENS) treatment;
electrodes operatively connected with the first and second pulse generators that are configured for application to a treatment area; and
a power source operatively connected to the first and second pulse generators;
wherein the unit is configured such that the first pulse generator and the second pulse generator deliver pulses separately and independently of each other.

Abstract
A portable pain treatment unit includes: a first pulse generator configured to deliver pulses in a frequency range typical for interferential treatment; a second pulse generator configured to deliver pulses in the frequency range for transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator (TENS) treatment; electrodes operatively connected with the first and second pulse generators that are configured for application to a treatment area; and a power source operatively connected to the first and second pulse generators. A device of this configuration enables the patient to receive either IF or TENS treatment at a location of his/her choosing rather than being forced to receive IF treatment in a clinical setting.
