Abstract

Abstract An apparatus for central electroanalgesia comprises units for rhythmic action, which are connected in series with units for changing the shape of current pulses and preamplification units electrically coupled to a regulator of the amplitude of current pulses, a means for selecting a mode of action, a means for programmed limitation of the current average value, and a means for amplifying the output signal, which is connected, via a means for measuring the current average value, to electrodes secured on the patient's neck below the mastoid processes and on his forehead. The output signal amplifying means is connected to a compensation current limiting unit couple to a constant component compensating unit joined to a compensation current regulator.
