A therapeutic electric current used to stimulate a muscle directly; such as, when the muscle is denervated (loss of nerve impulses) and peripheral nerves are not functioning.

A device for applying electronic pulses or signals to activate muscles, or to identify nerves, or for muscular therapy, etc. in the body.

A pulse generator used to apply voltages to the body for activating muscles, identifying nerves, and for other medical diagnoses for identifying or determining the natures and causes of diseases or injuries.

1. A portable electronic device designed to relieve chronic pain by sending electrical impulses through electrodes covering the afflicted area on the body.
2. A method of pain control with the application of electric impulses to the nerve endings.

This is done through electrodes which are placed on the skin and attached to a stimulator with flexible wires.

The electric impulses which are generated are similar to those of the body; however, they are different enough to block the transmission of pain signals to the brain making this procedure noninvasive and nonaddictive, and with no known side effects.
