A method and related systems and apparatus for wrinkle reduction. The method includes the steps of positioning and applying a patch to skin of a consumer and adhesively securing the patch to the skin. A chemical composition on the patch includes both active ingredients and adhesive. A pair of electrodes are connected to a battery-driven, microprocessor-based controller. A current is applied through the electrodes in the patch for a selected time. The chemical composition in the patch is propelled into the consumer through use of the current in order to relax the skin or the consumer. The patch is removed and any residue of the chemical composition is massaged into the skin.

The present invention provides a method for the treatment of consciousness disorder comprising the steps of positioning at least two electrodes on a patient's head such that the first electrode is positioned on the right supraorbicular cortex and the second electrode is positioned on the left dorso-lateral prefrontal cortex; connecting said electrodes to at least one source of electrical current; delivering direct current to the electrodes, and removing the electrodes from the patient's head after a time T; wherein steps a) to d) represent a treatment session and wherein at least one treatment session is is applied on the patient's head at least 2 days per week.

Apparatus for external activation of paralyzed body parts by stimulation of peripheral nerves which comprises a soft apparel provided with multi-pad electrodes on one side and activating means on the other side, wherein the activating means are adapted to allow activation and control of a delivered electrical pulse to each multi-pad electrode separately.

A TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) device and method using a micro current with a carrier signal and a square wave form combined with vibration and/or mechanical muscular manipulation for promoting the release and disbursement of lactic acid treating muscular soreness, cramping or degeneration. This method and nerve stimulation device is packaged to require no input from a user and a user must only apply the sticky electrode pad with the base unit attached on top to the correct part of the body and start the preprogrammed sequence of electrical currents, vibration and/or muscular manipulation. The method involves applying bursts of direct current at higher frequencies for shorter periods of time followed by lower frequency bursts of electrical current for longer periods of time combined with a small vibration motor and/or motorized nodes providing muscular manipulation to certain areas of the body.

Apparatus for transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation in a user, the apparatus comprising: a stimulator for electrically stimulating at least one nerve with at least one stimulation pulse; a controller connected to the stimulator for controlling at least one characteristic of the at least one stimulation pulse; an analyzer for identifying the current and future presence of pain-altering patterns based on weather and/or environmental factors; and a processor connected to the analyzer and the controller for modulating the at least one characteristic of the at least one stimulation pulse according to the pain-altering patterns identified by the analyzer.

An electrical stimulator is provided including: a base wire configured with a core wire and an outer winding wire wound around the core wire with the core wire serving as a winding axis. The core wire is entirely coated by an insulating film, and an annulus is formed by spiraling or looping the base wire. One end of the core wire is electrically connected to one end of the outer winding wire. The other end of the core wire is connected to a first terminal of an external circuit. Further, the other end of the outer winding wire is connected to a second terminal of the external circuit. Thus, the annulus can apply an electrical stimulation to a living body.
