[Characteristics of electrostimulation with the multi-purpose therapy apparatus 71-3 for electroacupuncture analgesia].

Abstract

The stimulating impulses employed in electroacupuncture analgesia are of widely differing character and strength. Experiences with the Chinese impulse generator MPTA 71-3 clearly show the necessity to determine the performance of the generator and to measure and record the strength, configuration and frequency of the electrical impulses employed. A simple equipment for measuring these factors is described. The apparatus makes it possible to record the character and type of the stimuli and to compare different techniques of stimulation.
