Detailed Description of the Invention [Industrial applications]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to an analgesic therapeutic device having a therapeutic effect on an affected area such as stiff neck, low back pain, elbow pain, knee pain, and muscle pain, which is associated with stiffness and pain in the human body.

[Prior art]

General plasters and poultices are prepared by applying an external anti-inflammatory drug to the affected area, and are used by directly sticking to the affected area.However, if the external analgesic anti-inflammatory drug has a characteristic odor, and if the skin has a weak constitution, Anti-inflammatory analgesics have side effects that cause itching and inflammation. Moreover, although the stick-on type magnetic therapy device is suitable for local treatment, it is not suitable for a wide range of treatments, is relatively expensive, and has a thickness, which is an obstacle to wearing underwear. There is. On the other hand, in addition to such commercially available general external painkillers, a treatment example in which an aluminum foil was used to cover the affected area and heal and pain was recently reported (for example, a magazine published by Makino Co., Ltd. Anshin ”February 1990 issue).

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention]

However, the treatment cases reported so far are those in which the aluminum foil is wrapped around the human body as it is or pasted with an adhesive or adhesive tape, etc., and although it has good heat retention, it not only feels very bad to the touch, but also has poor breathability. Therefore, it sweats, is not suitable for long-term use, and is not suitable for use on joints such as elbows and knees. By the way, human body cells generate a resting potential of about -90 mV with the outside of the cell, and the potential changes to about 20 mV in a short time when a stimulus such as pain is applied, which is as shown in FIG. It has been confirmed that it appears as a stimulus wave of bioelectric current. Therefore, if measures are taken to buffer the stimulating wave of this biocurrent from the outside, the pain will be alleviated. Based on such recognition, the purpose of the present invention is to provide an analgesic treatment by electrically relaxing the stimulating wave of the bioelectric current, and at the same time, a synergistic therapeutic effect with a magnetic action can be expected, and it is simple. Another object of the present invention is to provide an analgesic treatment tool which can be used at a very low cost with a simple structure and can be easily used.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

The analgesic therapeutic device according to the present invention, in a fibrous sheet such as cloth,
Innumerable metal powder for inducing a secondary current with respect to a stimulating wave of a biocurrent is impregnated and the metal powder is magnetized.

[Action]

When this analgesic treatment tool is applied to an affected part of a human body, when a stimulating wave of a biocurrent as shown in FIG. 6 flows, a secondary current flows through the metal powder in the fibrous sheet due to electromagnetic induction, resulting in heat loss. Occurs, the stimulating wave of the biocurrent is attenuated, and the analgesic therapeutic effect is exerted. Since the base material is a fibrous sheet such as cloth, it has breathability and feels good on the skin, and it does not have the odor or side effects of plaster or poultices on the skin, and can be easily applied to all parts of the human body. Can be used. Further, since the metal powder is magnetized, a therapeutic effect due to magnetic action can be expected.

【Example】

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. 1 and 2 show a first embodiment of the present invention. This analgesic treatment device is a method of spraying, vapor deposition, coating, dipping or the like with innumerable magnetized metal powders 2 such as iron powder in a stretchable or non-stretchable fibrous sheet 1 made of woven cloth such as gauze. In addition, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 3 is formed on one surface of the fibrous sheet 1 with a pressure-sensitive adhesive, and the release paper 4 is releasably polymerized on the surface of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 3. The analgesic treatment tool is used by peeling off the release paper 4 and attaching it to the affected part of the human body with the adhesive layer 3. If the adhesive layer 3 has sufficient adhesive strength, it can adhere to the skin by itself, but if the adhesive strength is weak, use a separate adhesive tape or cover it with a bandage or the like and apply it to the human body. Good. The fibrous sheet 1 adheres to the skin due to the adhesive layer 3, and when the stimulus wave of the biocurrent flows into the human body, a secondary current is generated in the metal powder 2 by the electromagnetic induction action, and the stimulus wave of the biocurrent is attenuated by the heat loss. The metal powder 2
Since is magnetized, it also has a therapeutic effect by magnetic action. Since the metal powder 2 is impregnated in the fibers or the tissue of the fibrous sheet 1, it does not come loose, and although the flexibility of the fibrous sheet 1 is slightly impaired, It is convenient because it gives a suitable hardness. 3 and 4 show a second embodiment of the present invention. In this analgesic treatment tool, a double-sided adhesive tape 5 is adhered to one side of a fibrous sheet 1 containing magnetized metal powder 2 in the same manner as described above as an attaching tool for attaching to clothes, and the double-sided adhesive tape 5 is attached. A peeling tape 6 is peelably adhered to the outer surface, and the peeling tape 6 is peeled off and detachably attached to clothes such as underwear with the double-sided adhesive tape 5 for use. Compared with the analgesic therapeutic device of the first embodiment, the analgesic therapeutic device of the second embodiment is inferior in adhesion to the skin because it does not have an adhesive layer, but is excellent in terms of touch, breathability and easy installation. There is. In addition,
The attachment for attaching to clothes is not limited to the double-sided adhesive tape, but may be velvet fasteners, snaps, buttons, or the like. FIG. 5 shows a third embodiment of the present invention. In this analgesic treatment tool, a long strip-shaped fibrous sheet 1 containing magnetized metal powder 2 in the same manner as above is wound into a roll shape, and in use, cut into an appropriate length and wound around a human body, or Alternatively, it can be attached to the affected area of the human body with an adhesive tape or the like prepared separately. In this case, if the fibrous sheet 1 is made to expand and contract, it can be used as a taping tape for preventing excessive extension and contraction of muscles and ligaments. The material of the fibrous sheet 1 is not limited to woven fabric, and may be non-woven fabric, paper or the like.

【The invention's effect】

The analgesic therapeutic device of the present invention has the following effects. Since the stimulating wave of the bioelectric current is relaxed, it does not irritate the skin such as external anti-inflammatory analgesics such as plasters and poultices, and therefore has no side effects and can be used for a long time. Since the fibrous sheet has a simple structure in which metal powder is included, it can be provided at a very low cost. The part to be used is not limited to the human skin surface, and can be used for any part. It does not give off the odor peculiar to external anti-inflammatory analgesics such as plasters and poultices, and does not disturb the wearing of clothes like magnetic therapy devices. The affected area can be treated extensively for pain relief. Since the metal powder is in a state of being impregnated in the fibers or the tissue of the fibrous sheet, it does not come loose, and although it slightly impairs the flexibility of the fibrous sheet, it has an appropriate hardness for sticking. It is convenient because it gives Since the metal powder is included in the magnetized state in the fibrous sheet, in addition to the bioelectrical analgesic therapeutic effect as described above, a therapeutic effect by magnetic action can be expected.
