Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	There is provided an electroacupuncture device, comprising: a housing; pulse generation circuitry located within the housing, wherein the pulse generation circuitry is adapted to generate stimulation sessions at a duty cycle that is less than 0.05, and apply the stimulation sessions to a location within a patient by way of an electrode array communicatively coupled to the pulse generation circuitry; and a primary battery located within the housing and having an internal impedance greater than 5 ohms, the primary battery configured to provide operating power to the pulse generation circuitry; wherein each stimulation session included in the stimulation sessions comprises a series of stimulation pulses, the duty cycle is a ratio of T3 to T4, and each stimulation session included in the stimulation sessions has a duration of T3 minutes and occurs at a rate of once every T4 minutes.
