Abstract:
The use of a electroacupuncture stimulator allows an injection cannula to be located without the cooperation of the patient. Regional anaesthesia thus becomes safer because the basic condition "no paraesthesia, no anaesthesia" becomes irrelevant. Electroacupuncture has been a developing field in parallel with various medical applications. Among possible pathological conditions, electroacupuncture therapy has found application in areas such as pain management, cancer symptoms, musculoskeletal system, neurology, obstetrics, gastrointestinal cardiovascular and surgical anesthesia. Although research in this direction is intense, the problems and questions in the scientific study of the electroacupuncture method in medical applications remain unanswered. The article discusses the design problems of electroacupuncture stimulators, the design of the stimulator based on the 16F877 microcontroller, and the circuit selection. Finally, the author made an offer.
