Neuroscience公司生产出电子针刺设备

 
一种将结合微芯片技术的微型电子刺激设备与传统针刺技术，能够治疗慢性疼痛。

P-Stim是由Neuroscience治疗公司(San Dimas, CA, USA)生产的，是一种经皮肤的耳状电磁刺激设备，能够进行耳部针刺治疗。由微处理器控制，该设备能够产生低频电子脉冲，从耳部多点的棒状传递给外周神经末端。这种刺激能够导致内啡呔的释放，从而产生止痛作用。

Electronic Device Applies Auricular Acupuncture
 
A miniaturized electro-stimulation device combines microchip technology with traditional acupuncture techniques to treat chronic pain.

P-Stim, manufactured by Neuroscience Therapy (San Dimas, CA, USA), is a percutaneous auricular electro-stimulation device that operates on the principle of auricular (ear) acupuncture. Micro-processor controlled, it generates a low-frequency electrical pulse that is transmitted to the peripheral nerve endings in the ear via a multi-point stylus. This stimulation results in the release of endorphins that have an analgesic, or pain-relieving, effect.
