Reducing Electrosensation While Treating a Subject Using Alternating Electric Fields by Increasing the Number of Steps in a Ramp-Up Portion of a Waveform

Reducing Electrosensation While Treating a Subject Using Alternating Electric Fields by Increasing the Number of Steps in a Ramp-Up Portion of a Waveform

When transducer arrays (i.e., arrays of electrode elements) are used to apply alternating electric fields to a subject's body, the subject may experience electrosensation. This electrosensation can be ameliorated by increasing the number of steps when the voltage ramps up from zero to its peak...

Zusammenfassung:When transducer arrays (i.e., arrays of electrode elements) are used to apply alternating electric fields to a subject's body, the subject may experience electrosensation. This electrosensation can be ameliorated by increasing the number of steps when the voltage ramps up from zero to its peak when the AC voltage is first applied to any given transducer array, and also when the alternating electric field switches direction.
