Patent ID: 8380317

Claim:
An apparatus for suppression of chronic and/or neuropathic pain, the apparatus comprising: a main module comprising data storage means and data processing means, said data storage means comprising: first parameters V i corresponding uniquely to a set of sixteen different primitive waveforms S 00 -S 15 , each primitive waveform S i having a periodic and predetermined pattern over lime; and second parameters including T-pack i , Freq i , and T-slot i associated with each of said different primitive waveforms S i , wherein said data processing means is adapted and configured to process a data set B i identifying a sequence consisting of a plurality of at least two of said different primitive waveforms S i in a time sequence, each of the primitive waveforms of the sequence being processed on the basis of one or more of said second parameters T-pack i , Freq i , T-slot i ; a synthesizer module comprising means for generating an electric output signal corresponding to said sequence; and one or more channel modules Ch k for applying said electric output signal on skin of a patient's body so that surface receptors in polymodal nerve fibers of a nervous system carry the electric output signal as non-pain information to suppress chronic and/or neuropathic pain.
