An apparatus, system and method are provided for a wireless electrical stimulation. The apparatus generally includes at least two electrical stimulation units. Each electrical stimulation unit includes electrodes connected to the unit. The apparatus also includes a receiver configured for receiving the one or more control signals from a remote controller for remotely, wirelessly controlling each of the electrical stimulation units to selectively apply a time-varying electric potential to the electrodes to provide an electrical stimulation to tissue in electrical contact with the electrodes. The apparatus generally applies to a foot of a human body.

A system is provided for a Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve or Electrical Muscle Stimulation. The system generally includes at least two electrodes carried on a single substrate adapted to be disposed in electrical contact with a body surface, and an electrical stimulation unit configured to deliver electrical pulses to muscle groups or nerve endings adjacent a body surface that is in electrical contact with the at least two electrodes.

A device for providing treatment is disclosed. The device provides proper skin electrical conductivity while still being minimally invasive by adhering to the patient's skin that also implements safety measures that off-the-shelf electrode options do not have. This device includes a graphite powder-based skin counter electrode that has a graphite powder suspended in an electrolyte gel that allows for electrochemical conduction between the graphite particles in the graphite powder. The gel is spread over a first side of a hydrogel layer. A device housing is mounted on the hydrogel layer over the first side. The device housing contains the electrolyte gel and graphite powder, defines an opening or lead opening as well as an empty expansion chamber for gaseous anodic byproduct. A metallic wire or rod extends from the electrolyte gel and through the housing opening and connects to a potentiostat. The second side of the hydrogel layer is adhered to the skin of the patient. The graphite powder-based skin counter electrode device takes into account safety.

A method for treating chronic nociceptive pain of knee osteoarthritis comprising the steps of: placing a first set of electrodes in contact with the skin on the inner side of the knee on the path of the infrapatellar nerve; and generating a first electrical signal with a signal generator and applying said first signal to the first set of electrodes so as to produce external, i.e. non invasive, electrostimulation of the infrapatellar nerve of the knee.
