US Patent:

20210260376, Aug 26, 2021

Filed:

Feb 15, 2021

Appl. No.:

17/175794

Inventors:

Donald A. Rhodes - The Woodlands TX, US

International Classification:

A61N 1/36
A61B 5/01
A61B 5/0531
A61B 5/00
A61B 5/388
A61N 1/04

Abstract:

An electrical interferential technique is used to determine operable treatment parameters which are then used to apply a treatment to a patient. A range of beat frequencies is applied to the patient and an indicator of autonomic nervous system activity is measured. When some degree of autonomic nervous system activity is detected, a subsequent trial is conducted using an overlaying range of frequencies, a narrower range or a single frequency, in an attempt to fine tune the reaction of the autonomic nervous system. The subsequent trial may use a different measure of activity of the autonomic nervous system. A garment having a series of electrode sites thereon may be used for a partially trained person to correctly apply electrodes to the patient's body. The treatments may be conducted while the patient is asleep.

Appl. No.:

14/545819

Inventors:

Donald Alan Rhodes - Magnolia TX, US

International Classification:

A61N 1/36
A61N 1/08

Abstract:

A diagnostic device in an electrical interferential treatment regime applies different pulse frequencies in one selection of electrode placement and determines the change of blood flow in response to the change in pulse frequency in an attempt to determine an optimum or workable set of parameters. The device includes electronic storage to record a series of tests and their results and a communication link. The communication link enables a professional caregiver to determine whether the parameter determinations, made at a location remote from the professional's office, such as at the residence of the patient, were conducted and were conducted correctly. The communication link also enables the professional to determine whether the treatments were conducted and conducted correctly.

Appl. No.:

14/545472

Inventors:

Donald Alan Rhodes - The Woodlands TX, US

International Classification:

A61N 1/36
A61N 1/08

Abstract:

A method of treating a wide variety of heretofore considered unrelated ailments comprises delivering electricity through a circuit in the body. The circuit includes at least four nerves leading from at least two of the patient's extremities to various nerve roots adjacent the spinal column. Electrical energy from an electrical interferential therapy device is delivered though electrodes on the extremities adjacent the nerve endings until symptoms of the diagnosed ailment ameliorate. Sending impulses from the periphery to the central nervous system, appears to help the body manufacture various neuropeptides and other chemicals, which control the essential basics of the body's health and well being.
