　本発明は、生体刺激具に関する。 The present invention relates to a biological stimulator.
　従来から、美容整形外科などにおいて皮膚の皺を除去することを目的としてリフトアップ手術が行われている。リフトアップ手術は、伸びて弛んだ筋肉や皮膚の一部分を除去して引き上げる手術である。リフトアップ手術によってリフトアップされた筋肉は、時間の経過と共に弛みが再度発生する。そこで、リフトアップ手術を複数回に亘って行うと、顔面の筋肉にあそびがなくなり、顔面が引きつるという問題点を生じる虞れがある。又、手術後の回復期は、手術した部分の内出血があるために、特に女性は外出をためらうという問題点を有する。 Conventionally, lift-up surgery has been performed for the purpose of removing skin wrinkles in cosmetic surgery and the like. The lift-up operation is an operation in which a stretched and slack muscle or a part of the skin is removed and pulled up. The muscles lifted up by the lift-up operation re-sag with time. Therefore, if the lift-up operation is performed a plurality of times, there is a possibility that the face muscles will not play and the face may be pulled. Also, during the recovery period after surgery, there is a problem in that women are hesitant to go out because there is internal bleeding in the operated part.

A heating part integrally provided at the tip of the stimulator body,
It has the 1st electrode part integrally provided in the front-end | tip part of the said stimulator main body, It is characterized by the above-mentioned.
　本発明の生体刺激具は、生体刺激本体の先端部に温熱部及び第１電極部が一体的に設けられており、第１電極部から皮膚を通じて生体内に通電させることによって、神経細胞内に存在するミトコンドリアの電子伝達系を活性化してＡＴＰ（アデノシン三リン酸）の合成を促進させることができる。そして、細胞内外へのイオン輸送の円滑化と、老廃物及び二酸化炭素の排出並びに栄養分及び酸素の取り入れを活発化させることができ、神経細胞の新陳代謝の促進及び修復***再生を円滑にすることができる。 In the biostimulator of the present invention, the heating part and the first electrode part are integrally provided at the distal end portion of the biostimulation body, and by energizing the living body from the first electrode part through the skin, The existing mitochondrial electron transport system can be activated to promote the synthesis of ATP (adenosine triphosphate). In addition, it can facilitate the transport of ions into and out of cells, the discharge of waste and carbon dioxide, the intake of nutrients and oxygen, and the promotion of nerve cell metabolism and the smooth division and regeneration of cells. it can.
　更に、第１電極部から限局された部位の皮膚を通じて生体内に通電させることによって、温覚受容器を活性化させることができる。 Furthermore, the thermal receptor can be activated by energizing the living body through the skin of the limited region from the first electrode part.
　そして、生体刺激具の第１電極部からの通電によって神経細胞及び温覚受容器を上述の如く活性化させた状態において、温熱部から温熱刺激を皮膚に加えることによって、複数個の温覚受容器を刺激し、これらの温覚受容器につながっている神経細胞に対する刺激を十分なものとし、神経細胞から送られた筋肉への刺激を増大させて筋肉の張力を効果的に取り戻し、例えば、顔面に生じた表情筋のたわみによるたるみなどを軽減又は除去することができる。 Then, in the state in which the nerve cells and the thermal receptor are activated as described above by energization from the first electrode part of the biological stimulator, a plurality of temperature sensors are received by applying the thermal stimulus from the thermal part to the skin. Stimulate the container and make the stimulation to the nerve cells connected to these thermal receptors sufficient, increasing the stimulation to the muscle sent from the nerve cells to effectively regain muscle tension, for example, It is possible to reduce or eliminate sagging or the like caused by the flexion of facial expression muscles generated on the face.
　詳細には、生体刺激具の第１電極部からの通電によって神経細胞及び温覚受容器を上述の如く活性化させた状態において、温熱部から温熱刺激を限局された部位の皮膚に加えると、アンチエイジングが必要とされる者の神経細胞においても神経伝達が円滑に行われて筋肉に確実に届けられる。そして、神経伝達が届いた筋肉では、これを構成している筋繊維の張力が向上すると共に皮膚組織の新陳代謝も向上し、皮膚中の血行や新陳代謝が改善される結果、弛んでいた筋肉（例えば、顔面であれば表情筋）の張力（ハリ感）が改善され、美しく引き締まった肌を得ることができると共に、例えば、顔面であれば、たるみのない引き締まった表情筋を得ることができる。 Specifically, in the state where the nerve cells and the thermal receptor are activated as described above by energization from the first electrode part of the biological stimulator, when applying the thermal stimulus from the thermal part to the skin of the limited site, Even in the nerve cells of those who need anti-aging, nerve transmission is performed smoothly and delivered to the muscle reliably. In muscles that have reached nerve transmission, the tension of the muscle fibers that make up the muscles increases, and the metabolism of the skin tissue also improves, resulting in improved blood circulation and metabolism in the skin. In the case of the face, the expression facial muscles) tension (harm feeling) can be improved and beautifully tightened skin can be obtained. For example, in the case of the face, it is possible to obtain a tight facial expression muscle without sagging.
　又、生体刺激具の第１電極部からの通電によって神経細胞及び温覚受容器を上述の如く活性化させた状態において、温熱部から温熱刺激を限局された部位の皮膚に加えると、皮膚から入る末梢神経への温熱刺激が神経中枢に円滑に伝達され、鎮痛作用のある脳内伝達物質や抑制性神経伝達物質などが円滑に分泌されて痛みの優れた緩和作用を奏する。また、交感神経の過緊張を抑制し、血管の収縮や筋緊張を抑制して痛みの優れた緩和作用を奏する。 In addition, in the state where the nerve cells and the thermal receptor are activated as described above by energization from the first electrode part of the biological stimulator, if the thermal stimulus is applied from the thermal part to the skin of the limited part, Thermal stimulation to the peripheral nerves entering is smoothly transmitted to the nerve center, and an intracerebral transmitter substance and an inhibitory neurotransmitter substance having an analgesic action are secreted smoothly, thereby providing an excellent pain relieving action. In addition, it suppresses sympathetic overstress, suppresses vasoconstriction and muscle tone, and exerts an excellent pain relieving action.
　筋緊張を緩和することによって、骨についている筋緊張した筋肉により牽引されて不均衡を起こしている姿勢（骨格）のバランスを筋緊張の緩和とともに正しい位置に戻すことができ、骨格のバランスの不均衡に起因して生じているピンチナーブや痛みに対しても優れた緩和作用を奏する。 By relieving muscle tension, the balance of the posture (skeletal structure) pulled by the muscle-tensioned muscles in the bone and causing an imbalance can be returned to the correct position along with the relaxation of the muscle tension. It also has an excellent relieving effect on pinch nab and pain caused by balance.
　更に、生体刺激具における温熱部の加熱が、所定の時間間隔ごとに複数回繰り返して行われるように構成されている場合には、神経伝達の特徴である時間的加算によって、神経細胞に発火をより効果的に発生させて、神経細胞間の活動電位の伝達をより効果的に行わせることができ、神経繊維から送られる筋肉への刺激を更に増大させて筋肉の張力を更に効果的に取り戻すことができる。 Furthermore, when the heating of the heating part in the biological stimulator is configured to be repeated a plurality of times at predetermined time intervals, the neurons are ignited by temporal addition, which is a feature of nerve transmission.

　本発明の生体刺激具の一例を図面を参照しつつ説明する。生体刺激具Ａは、図１～３に示したように、刺激具本体１と、この刺激具本体１の先端面に一体的に設けられた温熱部２と、上記刺激具本体１の先端面に一体的に設けられた第１電極部３とを有している。 An example of the biostimulator of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the biostimulator A includes a stimulator main body 1, a heating part 2 provided integrally with the front end surface of the stimulator main body 1, and the front end surface of the stimulator main body 1. And the first electrode portion 3 provided integrally therewith.
　刺激具本体１は、使用者が片手で把持可能な大きさに形成されており、図１においては、一定長さを有する円柱状に形成されている。刺激具本体１内には、乾電池及び二次電池などの直流電源11が内蔵されている。更に、刺激具本体１を人の手で把持するための把持部10の外周面の一部には、金属などの導電性部材から形成された第２電極部12が一体的に設けられている。第２電極部12は、電極部として第１電極部３と対になっている。直流電源11の負極（正極）が第２電極部12に電気的に接続されていると共に、直流電源11の正極（負極）が後述する第１電極部３に電気的に接続されている。刺激具本体１の外周面には、生体刺激具ＡをＯＮ又はＯＦＦするためのスイッチ13が配設されている。 The stimulator main body 1 is formed in such a size that the user can hold it with one hand, and in FIG. 1, it is formed in a cylindrical shape having a certain length. A DC power source 11 such as a dry battery or a secondary battery is built in the stimulator main body 1. Further, a second electrode portion 12 formed of a conductive member such as metal is integrally provided on a part of the outer peripheral surface of the grip portion 10 for gripping the stimulator body 1 with a human hand. . The second electrode portion 12 is paired with the first electrode portion 3 as an electrode portion. A negative electrode (positive electrode) of the DC power source 11 is electrically connected to the second electrode portion 12, and a positive electrode (negative electrode) of the DC power source 11 is electrically connected to a first electrode portion 3 described later. A switch 13 for turning on or off the biological stimulator A is disposed on the outer peripheral surface of the stimulator main body 1.
　刺激具本体１内に直流電源11を内蔵することなく、内蔵された直流電源11の代わりに外部の直流電源を用いてもよい。 Instead of incorporating the DC power supply 11 in the stimulator body 1, an external DC power supply may be used instead of the built-in DC power supply 11.
　刺激具本体１の先端面は、外周部から中央部になるにしたがって盛り上がった状態（断面凸円弧状）となっており、先端面の中央部には１個の温熱部２が一体的に設けられている。なお、温熱部２は、刺激具本体１の先端面に複数個、一体的に設けられていてもよい。刺激具本体１の先端面は断面凸円弧状に形成されている必要はなく、平坦面に形成され、平坦な先端面の中央部に１個又は複数個の温熱部が形成されていてもよい。 The distal end surface of the stimulator body 1 is in a raised state (cross section convex arc shape) from the outer peripheral portion to the central portion, and one heating portion 2 is integrally provided at the central portion of the distal end surface. It has been. Note that a plurality of the thermal units 2 may be integrally provided on the distal end surface of the stimulator main body 1. The tip surface of the stimulator main body 1 does not need to be formed in a convex arc shape in cross section, and is formed in a flat surface, and one or a plurality of heating portions may be formed in the center of the flat tip surface. .
　温熱部は、刺激具本体１の先端面から突出していてもよいし、温熱部の先端面が刺激具本体１の先端面と面一となるように構成されていてもよい。 The thermal unit may protrude from the distal end surface of the stimulator main body 1 or may be configured such that the distal end surface of the thermal unit is flush with the distal end surface of the stimulator main body 1.
　温熱部２が加熱され、加熱された温熱部２を人体などの生体の皮膚表面に接触させることによって、生体の皮膚に温熱刺激を与えることができるように構成されている。なお、温熱部２は、生体に温熱刺激を与えることができればよく、合成樹脂などの被覆部材で被覆されていてもよいが、温熱部２は露出していることが好ましい。 The heating unit 2 is heated, and the heated heating unit 2 is brought into contact with the skin surface of a living body such as a human body, whereby a thermal stimulus can be applied to the living body skin. In addition, although the thermal part 2 should just be able to give a thermal stimulus to a biological body and may be coat | covered with coating | coated members, such as a synthetic resin, it is preferable that the thermal part 2 is exposed.
　温熱部２の先端面の大きさは、生体の皮膚を押圧して皮膚及び皮下組織を薄くして、神経細胞に対して温熱刺激を効果的に付与することによって、神経細胞において時間的加算による発火をより効果的に発生させて、神経細胞間における活動電位の伝達及び神経細胞内における発火を効果的に生じさせ、神経繊維から送られる筋肉への刺激を増大させて筋肉の張力を効果的に取り戻すことができるので、０．５～３ｍｍが好ましく、１～２ｍｍがより好ましい。なお、温熱部２の大きさとは、温熱部２を包囲し得る最小径の真円の直径をいう。 The size of the distal end surface of the thermal unit 2 is based on temporal addition in nerve cells by effectively pressing the skin of the living body to thin the skin and subcutaneous tissue and effectively applying thermal stimulation to the nerve cells. Effectively generate firing, effectively transmit action potentials between nerve cells and cause firing within nerve cells, and increase stimulation of muscles sent from nerve fibers to increase muscle tension effectively Therefore, the thickness is preferably 0.5 to 3 mm, more preferably 1 to 2 mm. The size of the heating part 2 refers to the diameter of the smallest perfect circle that can surround the heating part 2.
　温熱部２の加熱温度は、生体によって差があるものの、神経細胞において時間的加算によって発火をより効果的に発生させて、神経細胞間における活動電位の伝達及び神経細胞内における発火を効果的に生じさせ、神経繊維から送られる筋肉への刺激を増大させて筋肉の張力を効果的に取り戻すことができるので、４３～６５℃が好ましく、４８～６０℃がより好ましい。 Although the heating temperature of the heating unit 2 varies depending on the living body, firing is more effectively generated by temporal addition in the nerve cells, thereby effectively transmitting action potential between the nerve cells and firing in the nerve cells. Therefore, it is possible to increase the stimulation to the muscle sent from the nerve fiber and effectively regain the muscle tension. Therefore, the temperature is preferably 43 to 65 ° C, more preferably 48 to 60 ° C.
　温熱部２としては、通電によって所定の温度に昇温させることができれば特に限定されない。温熱部２は、通電を制御することによって加熱時間を制御できることが好ましい。温熱部２としては、例えば、ニクロム線、セラミックチップなどが挙げられる。ニクロム線及びセラミックチップは、上記直流電源11に電気的に接続され、直流電流を通電させることによって所定温度に加熱、昇温させることが可能である。ニクロム線又はセラミックチップへの直流電流の通電を制御することによって、ニクロム線又はセラミックチップの加熱温度及び加熱時間を制御することができる。 The heating unit 2 is not particularly limited as long as it can be heated to a predetermined temperature by energization. It is preferable that the heating unit 2 can control the heating time by controlling energization. Examples of the heating unit 2 include a nichrome wire and a ceramic chip. The nichrome wire and the ceramic chip are electrically connected to the DC power source 11 and can be heated to a predetermined temperature and heated by passing a DC current. By controlling the application of a direct current to the nichrome wire or the ceramic chip, the heating temperature and the heating time of the nichrome wire or the ceramic chip can be controlled.
　具体的には、図４に示したように、刺激具本体１の先端面中央部に一対の電気接続部2A、2Bがそれらの先端面が露出した状態に配設されており、電気接続部2A、2B間に、ニクロム線やセラミックチップなどの温熱部２が電気的に接続した状態に配設されている。なお、電気接続部2Aは、刺激具本体１に内蔵された直流電源の正極又は負極に電気的に接続されていると共に、電気接続部2Bは、直流電源の負極又は正極に電気的に接続されている。 Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, a pair of electrical connection portions 2A and 2B are disposed in the central portion of the distal end surface of the stimulator 1 so that the distal end surfaces thereof are exposed. A heating unit 2 such as a nichrome wire or a ceramic chip is electrically connected between 2A and 2B. The electrical connection portion 2A is electrically connected to the positive electrode or negative electrode of the DC power source built in the stimulator body 1, and the electrical connection portion 2B is electrically connected to the negative electrode or positive electrode of the DC power source. ing.
　刺激具本体１の先端面を使用者の皮膚に押し付けると、電気接続部2A、2Bが皮膚に接触した状態となり、電気接続部2A、2B間に存在する使用者の生体内に３０～１５０μＡ程度の微弱電流が通電されるように構成されている。従って、後述するように、温熱部２に直流電流が通電されて温熱部２が所定温度に加熱されると同時に、使用者の生体内に微弱電流が通電される。この電気接続部2A、2Bによる生体内への微弱電流の通電は、後述する電極部３による生体内への微弱電流の通電と同様の効果を奏する。この効果についての詳細な説明は、電極部３によって生体内に微弱電流を通電する場合の説明を援用し説明を省略する。 When the tip of the stimulator body 1 is pressed against the user's skin, the electrical connection parts 2A and 2B come into contact with the skin, and the body of the user existing between the electrical connection parts 2A and 2B is about 30 to 150 μA. It is comprised so that the weak electric current of this may be supplied. Therefore, as will be described later, a direct current is applied to the heating unit 2 to heat the heating unit 2 to a predetermined temperature, and at the same time, a weak current is applied to the living body of the user. Energization of the weak current into the living body by the electrical connecting portions 2A and 2B has the same effect as the energization of the weak current into the living body by the electrode unit 3 described later. For the detailed description of this effect, the description in the case where a weak current is passed through the living body by the electrode unit 3 is used, and the description is omitted.
　電気接続部2A、2Bによる生体内への微弱電流の通電は、常時、温熱部２による温熱刺激と同時に行われ、微弱電流の通電によって、神経細胞及び温覚受容器を活性化させた状態とした上で、神経細胞を効果的に電気及び温熱刺激し、神経細胞の発火を効果的に生じさせ、神経繊維につながっている筋肉を効果的に刺激することにより、筋肉線維を柔軟にして筋肉線維の弾力性を回復させて筋肉に張力を持たせ、その結果、皮膚上に現れた皺や筋肉の弛みなどを効果的に低減又は除去することができる。 The weak current flowing into the living body by the electrical connecting parts 2A and 2B is always performed simultaneously with the thermal stimulation by the warming part 2, and the nerve cells and the thermal receptors are activated by the weak current. In addition, the nerve cells are effectively stimulated with electricity and heat, the nerve cells are ignited effectively, and the muscles connected to the nerve fibers are stimulated effectively, so that the muscle fibers become flexible and muscles. The elasticity of the fiber is restored to give the muscle tension, and as a result, wrinkles appearing on the skin, muscle slack, and the like can be effectively reduced or eliminated.
　又、電気接続部2A、2Bによる生体内への微弱電流の通電によって神経細胞及び温覚受容器を活性化させた状態において、温熱部から温熱刺激を皮膚に加えると、皮膚から入る末梢神経への温熱刺激が神経中枢に円滑に伝達され、鎮痛作用のある脳内伝達物質（β－エンドルフィンやエンケファリン）や抑制性神経伝達物質（γ－アミノ酪酸）などが円滑に分泌されて痛みの優れた緩和作用を奏する。更に、交感神経の過緊張を抑制し、血管の収縮や筋緊張を抑制して痛みの優れた緩和作用を奏する。 In addition, when a nerve cell and a warm receptor are activated by applying a weak current to the living body through the electrical connection parts 2A and 2B, when a thermal stimulus is applied to the skin from the warm part, the peripheral nerve enters from the skin. The thermal stimulation of the brain is smoothly transmitted to the nerve center, and the pain-inducing brain transmitter (β-endorphin and enkephalin) and the inhibitory neurotransmitter (γ-aminobutyric acid) are secreted smoothly. Has a relaxing effect. Furthermore, it suppresses sympathetic overstress, suppresses vasoconstriction and muscle tone, and exerts an excellent pain relieving action.
　更に、血管の収縮や筋緊張を抑制することによって、筋肉の弛緩を促進することができる。筋肉を弛緩させることによって、緊張した筋肉により引っ張れて正しい位置からずれた状態にある骨を正しい姿勢に位置させることができ、骨を正しい姿勢に戻すことによって、痛みの優れた緩和作用を奏する。 Furthermore, muscle relaxation can be promoted by suppressing blood vessel contraction and muscle tone. By relaxing the muscles, the bones that are pulled by the strained muscles and shifted from the correct position can be positioned in the correct posture, and by returning the bones to the correct posture, an excellent pain relieving action is achieved.
　刺激具本体１の先端面の外周部には円環状の第１電極部３が一体的に設けられており、温熱部２を包囲するように第１電極部３が配設されている。第１電極部３は導電性材料から構成されている。なお、図３及び図４においては、第１電極部３を円環状に形成した場合を示したが、円環状の第１電極部３は複数に分割されていてもよい。分割された第１電極部のそれぞれが直流電源11に電気的に接続される。刺激具本体１の先端面を使用者の皮膚に押し付けると、刺激具本体１の先端面の盛り上がった部分が皮膚を押し込み、温熱部２及び第１電極部３が共に皮膚に接触した状態となるように構成されている。 An annular first electrode portion 3 is integrally provided on the outer peripheral portion of the distal end surface of the stimulator main body 1, and the first electrode portion 3 is disposed so as to surround the heating portion 2. The 1st electrode part 3 is comprised from the electroconductive material. 3 and 4 show the case where the first electrode part 3 is formed in an annular shape, the annular first electrode part 3 may be divided into a plurality of parts. Each of the divided first electrode portions is electrically connected to the DC power source 11. When the distal end surface of the stimulator main body 1 is pressed against the user's skin, the raised portion of the front end surface of the stimulator main body 1 pushes the skin, and both the heating portion 2 and the first electrode portion 3 are in contact with the skin. It is configured as follows.
　第１電極部３は、上述したように、直流電源11の正極又は負極と電気的に接続されている。第１電極部３を人体などの生体の皮膚表面に接触させると、直流電源11の正極（負極）から第１電極部３、第１電極部３が接触している人体の部分（例えば、顔）、胴部、刺激具本体を把持している腕部及び掌、並びに、刺激具本体１の第２電極部12を通じて直流電源11の負極（正極）につながる電気回路が形成される。そして、直流電源11から供給される微弱電流が生体内の神経細胞に印加される。微弱電流は、１～３００μＡが好ましく、１～１５０μＡがより好ましい。 The first electrode unit 3 is electrically connected to the positive electrode or the negative electrode of the DC power source 11 as described above. When the first electrode unit 3 is brought into contact with the skin surface of a living body such as a human body, the first electrode unit 3 and the first electrode unit 3 are in contact with the positive electrode (negative electrode) of the DC power source 11 (for example, the face) ), An electric circuit connected to the negative electrode (positive electrode) of the DC power source 11 through the trunk, the arm and palm holding the stimulator main body, and the second electrode portion 12 of the stimulator main body 1 is formed. A weak current supplied from the DC power supply 11 is applied to nerve cells in the living body. The weak current is preferably 1 to 300 μA, more preferably 1 to 150 μA.
　生体刺激具Ａのスイッチ13を押下して電源をＯＮにする（電源を入れる）と、第１電極部３に直流電源11からの直流電流が常時、通電された状態になると共に、温熱部２に直流電源11からの直流電流が所定の時間間隔ごとに通電されて所定の時間間隔ごとに所定温度に加熱された状態となるように構成されている。 When the switch 13 of the biostimulator A is pressed to turn on the power (turn on the power), the direct current from the direct current power source 11 is always supplied to the first electrode unit 3 and the heating unit 2 In addition, a direct current from the direct current power source 11 is energized at predetermined time intervals and is heated to a predetermined temperature at predetermined time intervals.
　電極部３及び温熱部２への直流電流の通電は、生体刺激具Ａに内蔵された通電制御手段によって制御されている。具体的には、刺激具本体１は、ＣＰＵ(Central Processing Unit)を内蔵している。ＣＰＵにＲＯＭ(Read Only Memory)及びＲＡＭ(Random Access Memory)が電気信号のやり取りが可能なように電気的に接続されている。ＲＯＭ内にはＣＰＵにて実行される通電制御プログラムや各種データが格納されている。ＲＡＭには、通電制御プログラムに基づいて設定される設定値を一次的に記憶するためのメモリなどが格納されている。 The energization of the direct current to the electrode unit 3 and the heating unit 2 is controlled by energization control means built in the biological stimulator A. Specifically, the stimulator body 1 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit). A ROM (Read Only Memory) and a RAM (Random Access Memory) are electrically connected to the CPU so that electrical signals can be exchanged. In the ROM, an energization control program executed by the CPU and various data are stored. The RAM stores a memory for temporarily storing setting values set based on the energization control program.
　なお、通電制御手段は、ＣＰＵやＲＡＭ上に通電制御プログラムを読み込ませることにより、ＣＰＵの制御のもとで、ＲＡＭにおいてデータの読み出し及び書き込みを行うことで実現される。 The energization control means is realized by reading and writing data in the RAM under the control of the CPU by reading the energization control program on the CPU or RAM.
　また、刺激具本体１に温熱スイッチ（図示せず）を配設し、この温熱スイッチが押下されている間のみ温熱部２が所定の時間間隔ごとに所定温度に加熱されるように構成されていてもよい。 Further, a thermal switch (not shown) is provided in the stimulator main body 1, and the thermal unit 2 is heated to a predetermined temperature at predetermined time intervals only while the thermal switch is pressed. May be.
　ＣＰＵによる温熱部２への直流電流の通電（供給）パターンは、特に限定されないが、生体刺激具Ａの温熱部２に所定時間（例えば、０．２～１．２秒間）に亘って直流電流を供給した後、所定時間（例えば、０．１～１．２秒間）に亘って直流電流の供給を停止する工程を１サイクルとし、このサイクルを繰り返す供給パターンが好ましい。 The energization (supply) pattern of the direct current to the thermal unit 2 by the CPU is not particularly limited, but the direct current is applied to the thermal unit 2 of the biological stimulator A for a predetermined time (for example, 0.2 to 1.2 seconds). A supply pattern in which the process of stopping the supply of direct current over a predetermined time (for example, 0.1 to 1.2 seconds) is set as one cycle after this is supplied is preferable.
　温熱部２に直流電流が通電されると、温熱部２が所定温度に瞬時に加熱される一方、温熱部２への直流電流の通電が停止されると、温熱部２の加熱が停止され温熱部２の温度が降下する。 When a direct current is applied to the heating unit 2, the heating unit 2 is instantaneously heated to a predetermined temperature. On the other hand, when the supply of a direct current to the heating unit 2 is stopped, heating of the heating unit 2 is stopped and heating is performed. The temperature of part 2 drops.
　従って、上述した供給パターンによれば、温熱部２が、直流電流の供給に伴って所定温度に所定時間に亘って加熱された後に直流電流の停止に伴って加熱が所定時間に亘って停止して温度が降下する加熱パターンを１サイクルとし、このサイクルが繰り返して行われる。 Therefore, according to the supply pattern described above, the heating unit 2 is heated to a predetermined temperature for a predetermined time as the DC current is supplied, and then the heating is stopped for a predetermined time as the DC current is stopped. The heating pattern in which the temperature drops is one cycle, and this cycle is repeated.
　温熱部２の加熱時間は、神経細胞において時間的加算によって発火を効果的に発生させることができるので、０．３～１秒が好ましく、０．４～０．７秒がより好ましい。 The heating time of the heating unit 2 is preferably 0.3 to 1 second, and more preferably 0.4 to 0.7 second, because firing can be effectively generated in neurons by temporal addition.
　温熱部２への直流電流の供給の停止時間は、神経細胞に温熱刺激を断続的に繰り返し付与して、神経細胞に時間的加算によって発火を効果的に生じさせることができるので、０．１～０．８秒が好ましく、０．２～０．６秒がより好ましい。 The stop time of the supply of the direct current to the thermal unit 2 is that the thermal stimulation can be intermittently repeatedly applied to the nerve cell, and firing can be effectively caused to the nerve cell by temporal addition. Is preferably 0.8 seconds, more preferably 0.2 to 0.6 seconds.
　次に、生体刺激具Ａの使用要領について説明する。生体刺激具Ａのスイッチ13を押下することによって生体刺激具ＡをＯＮにすると、ＣＰＵによって通電制御プログラムにしたがって、生体刺激具Ａの第１電極部３に直流電流が常時、通電された状態となると共に温熱部２に所定の時間間隔ごとに直流電流が通電された状態となり、温熱部２は所定の時間間隔ごとに所定温度に加熱された状態となる。 Next, how to use the biostimulator A will be described. When the biostimulator A is turned on by pressing the switch 13 of the biostimulator A, a direct current is always energized to the first electrode unit 3 of the biostimulator A according to the energization control program by the CPU. At the same time, a direct current is applied to the heating unit 2 at predetermined time intervals, and the heating unit 2 is heated to a predetermined temperature at predetermined time intervals.
　図５に示したように、筋肉に刺激を与えて張力を取り戻したい者又は痛みを抑えたい者（以下「使用者」という）Ｂが、刺激具本体１の把持部10を手で把持し、使用者自身の皮膚上に生体刺激具Ａの先端面を押し付ける。なお、使用者は、生体刺激具Ａを把持するにあたって、刺激具本体１の第２電極部12に掌又は指の一部が接触し、掌又は指と、第２電極部12とが電気的に接続した状態となるようにする。 As shown in FIG. 5, a person who wants to regain tension by stimulating muscles or a person who wants to relieve pain (hereinafter referred to as “user”) B grasps the grasping portion 10 of the stimulator main body 1 by hand, The front end surface of the biostimulator A is pressed onto the user's own skin. When the user holds the biological stimulator A, the palm or part of the finger comes into contact with the second electrode portion 12 of the stimulator main body 1, and the palm or finger and the second electrode portion 12 are electrically connected. Make sure that it is connected to.
　生体刺激具Ａの先端面に一体的に設けられた第１電極部３が皮膚に接触した状態となり、第１電極部３を通じて微弱電流が生体内に通電されると、神経細胞内に存在するミトコンドリアの電子伝達系が活性化されると共にミトコンドリア自体も生成増加されてＡＴＰ（アデノシン三リン酸）の合成が促進され、更に、リボソームＲＮＡが生成増加されて、たんぱく質合成の活性化による組織の修復が促進され、その結果、細胞内外へのイオン輸送の円滑化と、老廃物及び二酸化炭素の排出並びに栄養分及び酸素の取り入れを活発化させることができ、神経細胞の新陳代謝の促進及び修復***再生が円滑に行われて神経細胞が活性化される。 When the first electrode portion 3 integrally provided on the distal end surface of the biological stimulator A comes into contact with the skin and a weak current is passed through the living body through the first electrode portion 3, it exists in the nerve cell. The mitochondrial electron transport system is activated and the mitochondria itself is increased in production to promote the synthesis of ATP (adenosine triphosphate). Further, the production of ribosomal RNA is increased, and the tissue repair is activated by the activation of protein synthesis. As a result, the transport of ions into and out of cells can be facilitated, waste and carbon dioxide can be discharged, and nutrients and oxygen can be activated. Smoothly activated nerve cells.
　加えて、第１電極部３を通じて微弱電流を生体内に通電させることによって、神経細胞から次の神経細胞に神経伝達物質が伝達された場合の発火や神経細胞内における発火を円滑に生じさせることができる。 In addition, by causing a weak current to flow through the first electrode portion 3 in the living body, firing when a neurotransmitter is transmitted from a neuron to the next neuron and firing within the neuron smoothly occur. Can do.
　また、第１電極部３を通じて微弱電流を生体内に通電させることによって、温覚受容器を活性化させることができ、温熱部からの温熱刺激に対する温覚受容器の反応を増大させ、これらの温覚受容器につながっている神経細胞に対する刺激を十分なものとし、神経細胞から送られた筋肉への刺激を増大させて筋肉の張力を効果的に取り戻し、例えば、顔面に生じた表情筋のたわみによるたるみなどを軽減又は除去することができる。 In addition, by passing a weak current through the first electrode portion 3 in the living body, the warm receptor can be activated, and the response of the warm receptor to the thermal stimulus from the hot portion is increased. The stimulation of nerve cells connected to the warm receptor is made sufficient, and the stimulation to the muscles sent from the nerve cells is increased to effectively regain muscle tension, for example, the facial muscles on the face Sag due to deflection can be reduced or eliminated.
　第１電極部３による生体内への微弱電流の通電によって、上述の通り、神経細胞及び温覚受容器を活性化させた状態において、温熱部２から温熱刺激を皮膚に加えると、皮膚から入る末梢神経への温熱刺激が神経中枢に円滑に伝達され、鎮痛作用のある脳内伝達物質（β－エンドルフィンやエンケファリン）や抑制性神経伝達物質（γ－アミノ酪酸）などが円滑に分泌されて痛みの優れた緩和作用を奏する。更に、交感神経の過緊張を効果的に抑制し、血管の収縮や筋緊張を抑制して痛みの優れた緩和作用を奏する。 As described above, when a nerve cell and a warm receptor are activated by energizing a weak current into the living body by the first electrode unit 3, when a thermal stimulus is applied to the skin from the heating unit 2, the skin enters from the skin. Thermal stimulation to peripheral nerves is smoothly transmitted to the nerve center, and pain-inducing brain transmitters (β-endorphin and enkephalin) and inhibitory neurotransmitters (γ-aminobutyric acid) are smoothly secreted and painful Has an excellent relaxation effect. Furthermore, it effectively suppresses sympathetic nerve over-tension, suppresses vasoconstriction and muscle tone, and exerts an excellent pain relieving action.
　更に、血管の収縮や筋緊張を抑制することによって、筋肉の弛緩を促進することができる。筋肉を弛緩させることによって、緊張した筋肉により引っ張れて正しい位置からずれた状態にある骨を正しい姿勢に位置させることができ、骨を正しい姿勢に戻すことによって、痛みの優れた緩和作用を奏する。 Furthermore, muscle relaxation can be promoted by suppressing blood vessel contraction and muscle tone. By relaxing the muscles, the bones that are pulled by the strained muscles and shifted from the correct position can be positioned in the correct posture, and by returning the bones to the correct posture, an excellent pain relieving action is achieved.
　上述のように、第１電極部３を通じて微弱電流が生体内に印加されて神経細胞及び温覚受容器が活性化された状態において、皮膚上に押圧された生体刺激具Ａの温熱部２から使用者（生体）の皮膚に温熱刺激が所定の時間間隔ごとに与えられる。 As described above, in a state where a weak current is applied to the living body through the first electrode unit 3 and the nerve cells and the warm receptor are activated, the heating unit 2 of the biological stimulator A pressed on the skin. Thermal stimulation is given to the skin of the user (living body) at predetermined time intervals.
　即ち、温熱部２が、直流電流の供給に伴って所定温度に所定時間に亘って加熱された後、直流電流の停止に伴って加熱が所定時間に亘って停止して温度が降下する加熱パターンを１サイクルとし、このサイクルが繰り返し行われる。 That is, the heating pattern in which the heating unit 2 is heated to a predetermined temperature for a predetermined time with the supply of a direct current, and then the heating is stopped for a predetermined time with the stop of the direct current to decrease the temperature. Is one cycle, and this cycle is repeated.
　また、第１電極部３は、温熱部２を包囲するように配設されており、温熱部２によって温熱刺激が付与される神経細胞及び温覚受容器は、第１電極部３を通じて供給される微弱電流によって活性化された状態となっており、この活性化された状態の神経細胞及び温覚受容器に温熱部２による温熱刺激が確実に付与される。 In addition, the first electrode unit 3 is disposed so as to surround the thermal unit 2, and the nerve cell and the thermal receptor to which thermal stimulation is applied by the thermal unit 2 are supplied through the first electrode unit 3. In this activated state, the nerve cells and the thermal receptor are reliably given thermal stimulation by the thermal unit 2.
　ここで、神経繊維内における情報伝達の仕組みについて説明する。神経繊維は、無数の神経細胞から構成されており、神経細胞は、細胞体と、この細胞体から枝のように分岐した複数個の樹状突起と、上記細胞体から突出した軸索とを有している。 Here, the mechanism of information transmission in nerve fibers will be described. A nerve fiber is composed of an infinite number of nerve cells, and each nerve cell includes a cell body, a plurality of dendrites branched like branches from the cell body, and axons protruding from the cell body. Have.
　神経細胞は、信号を使用して情報伝達を行っている。細胞体が静止状態にあるとき、神経細胞内はカリウムイオンが多い一方、神経細胞外はナトリウムイオンと塩素イオンが多く分布しており、神経細胞内は、神経細胞外に対してマイナスの電位（静止膜電位）を保持している。カリウムイオン、ナトリウムイオン及び塩素イオンの濃度差は、ＡＴＰをエネルギとして神経細胞の膜貫通タンパクのナトリウムポンプによって維持されている。エネルギとなるＡＴＰの合成が、体内への微弱電流の通電によって促進される。 Nerve cells communicate information using signals. When the cell body is in a quiescent state, the nerve cell has a lot of potassium ions, but the nerve cell has a large distribution of sodium ions and chloride ions, and the nerve cell has a negative potential with respect to the outside of the nerve cell ( The resting membrane potential). The difference in concentration between potassium ion, sodium ion and chloride ion is maintained by a sodium pump of neuronal transmembrane protein using ATP as energy. The synthesis of ATP as energy is promoted by the application of a weak current to the body.
　一方、神経細胞内を信号が伝達されるときは、細胞膜に存在するナトリウムチャンネルと呼ばれる孔が１０００分の１秒ほど瞬間的に開放され、神経細胞内にナトリウムイオンが流れ込み、その結果、神経細胞内の電位が細胞体外に対して僅かにプラスの電位（活動電位）となる。この現象を「発火」という。活動電位は、神経細胞内の電位が徐々に上昇し、ある閾値を超えると一気に発生する。「発火」は、後述するように、他の神経細胞から神経伝達物質を受け取ったときの他に、外界から物理的又は化学的刺激を受け取ることによっても引き起こされる。 On the other hand, when a signal is transmitted in a nerve cell, a hole called a sodium channel existing in the cell membrane is instantaneously opened for about 1/1000 second, and sodium ions flow into the nerve cell, resulting in the nerve cell. The internal potential becomes a slightly positive potential (action potential) with respect to the outside of the cell body. This phenomenon is called “ignition”. The action potential is generated at once when the potential in the nerve cell gradually increases and exceeds a certain threshold. As described later, “ignition” is caused not only when a neurotransmitter is received from another nerve cell but also when a physical or chemical stimulus is received from the outside world.
　「発火」は、通常、細胞体から軸索が出て行くつけ根部分、即ち、軸索小丘で先ず発生する。そして、発生した活動電位が近傍の軸索の細胞膜の電位に電気的変化を引き起こし、この膜の電位の変化が予め定められた閾値を超えることによって、活動電位が次々と軸索内を伝達されて軸索終末まで伝達される。 “Ignition” usually first occurs at the root of the axon from the cell body, that is, the axon hill. The generated action potential causes an electrical change in the potential of the cell membrane of the nearby axon, and the action potential is successively transmitted through the axon by the change in the membrane potential exceeding a predetermined threshold. Is transmitted to the end of the axon.
　次に、軸索終末に伝達された活動電位は、次の神経細胞に伝達される。神経細胞の軸索終末と、次の神経細胞の樹状突起との間には僅かな間隔（シナプス間隔）が存在しているために、上述の要領では、活動電位を次の神経細胞に伝達することができない。 Next, the action potential transmitted to the axon terminal is transmitted to the next nerve cell. Since there is a slight interval (synaptic interval) between the axon terminal of a neuron and the dendrite of the next neuron, the action potential is transmitted to the next neuron as described above. Can not do it.
　そこで、軸索終末に伝達された活動電位によってシナプス終末にあるカルシウムチャンネルが開放されてカルシウムイオンが流入する結果、シナプス終末内にあるシナプス小胞から神経伝達物質が放出され、次の神経細胞の樹状突起に神経伝達物質が結合すると、上述したように、ナトリウムチャンネルが開放されて、次の神経細胞内において活動電位が発生し、神経細胞内を伝達されていく。神経細胞から次の神経細胞に神経伝達物質が伝達されて、次の神経細胞において「発火」を生じさせる必要があるが、発火を生じさせるためには、活動電位が予め定められた閾値以上であることが必要である。 Therefore, as a result of the action potential transmitted to the axon terminal opening the calcium channel at the synaptic terminal and calcium ions flowing in, neurotransmitters are released from the synaptic vesicle in the synaptic terminal, and the next neuron When a neurotransmitter binds to a dendrite, a sodium channel is released as described above, and an action potential is generated in the next neuron, and is transmitted through the neuron. A neurotransmitter is transmitted from a neuron to the next neuron, and it is necessary to cause “fire” in the next neuron. In order to cause fire, the action potential is not less than a predetermined threshold value. It is necessary to be.
　例えば、２０代、３０代という若い者は、神経細胞から次の神経細胞に神経伝達物質が伝達された場合や、外界からの物理的又は化学的刺激を受け取った場合において、容易に神経細胞において発火が生じやすいが、年齢が高くなるにつれて、発火が生じにくくなり、神経細胞から次の神経細胞への伝達が円滑に行われなかったり又は神経細胞内における発火自体が円滑に生じない場合が多い。 For example, young people in their twenties and thirties can easily become involved in nerve cells when neurotransmitters are transmitted from one neuron to the next, or when physical or chemical stimuli are received from the outside world. Inflammation is likely to occur, but as it gets older, it tends to be less likely to occur, and transmission from one neuron to the next is not carried out smoothly, or firing within a neuron itself is often not smooth. .
　生体刺激具Ａでは、第１電極部３を通じて供給される微弱電流によってＡＴＰの産出を促進させることができ、神経細胞から次の神経細胞への伝達や、神経細胞内における発火自体を円滑に生じさせることができる。 In the biostimulator A, the production of ATP can be promoted by the weak current supplied through the first electrode unit 3, and the transmission from one neuron to the next neuron and the firing itself in the neuron are generated smoothly. Can be made.
　又、神経細胞は、十分に短い時間間隔で繰り返して熱などの反復刺激を与えると、神経細胞内において生じる活動電位が加算されて大きくなるという現象（時間的加算）を有している。 In addition, a nerve cell has a phenomenon (time addition) in which action potentials generated in a nerve cell are increased by applying repeated stimulation such as heat repeatedly at a sufficiently short time interval.
　生体刺激具Ａでは、神経細胞から次の神経細胞に神経伝達物質が伝達された場合の発火、又は、神経細胞に外界から物理的又は化学的刺激を与えた場合の発火を効果的に発生させるために、第１電極部３を通じて神経細胞に微弱電流を付与することによって、神経細胞及び温覚受容器を活性化させた状態にすると共に神経細胞において発火を効果的に生じさせている一方、この活性化している状態の神経細胞及び温覚受容器に温熱部２による温熱刺激を付与することによって、好ましくは時間的加算を生じさせており、その結果、神経細胞において発火を効果的に生じさせて、神経繊維から送られる筋肉に刺激を効果的に与えることによって、筋肉線維を柔軟にして弾力性を回復させることができる。 The biostimulator A effectively generates firing when a neurotransmitter is transmitted from one neuron to the next, or firing when a physical or chemical stimulus is applied to the neuron from the outside. Therefore, by applying a weak current to the nerve cell through the first electrode unit 3, the nerve cell and the warm receptor are activated, and firing is effectively generated in the nerve cell, By adding a thermal stimulus by the thermal unit 2 to the activated neuron and the thermoreceptor, preferably, temporal addition is caused, and as a result, firing is effectively generated in the neuron. Thus, by effectively stimulating the muscles sent from the nerve fibers, the muscle fibers can be made flexible and the elasticity can be restored.
　即ち、生体刺激具Ａでは、微弱電流によって活性化された神経細胞に、皮膚下にある同一神経細胞に対して温熱刺激を所定時間間隔毎に繰り返して加え、温熱刺激によって時間的加算が同時に生じている。その結果、神経細胞において発火を効果的に生じさせて神経細胞における活動電位の伝達を効果的に行わせ、その結果、筋肉を効果的に刺激し、筋肉線維を柔軟にして弾力性を回復させることができる。 That is, in the biostimulator A, thermal stimulation is repeatedly applied to the same neurons under the skin at predetermined time intervals to the neurons activated by the weak current, and temporal addition occurs simultaneously by the thermal stimulation. ing. As a result, nerve cells are effectively ignited to effectively transmit action potentials in nerve cells, resulting in effective stimulation of muscles, flexibility of muscle fibers and recovery of elasticity. be able to.
　以上のように、生体刺激具Ａは、刺激具本体１の先端面に第１電極部３及び温熱部２が配設されている。従って、使用者が熟練者でなくても、大まかな神経繊維の通り道を把握しておれば、刺激具本体１の先端面を皮膚上にあてがうだけで、第１電極部３及び温熱部２を同一の神経細胞に収束する複数の温覚受容器にあてがった状態とすることができる。そして、第１電極部３を通じて供給される微弱電流によって神経細胞及び温覚受容器を活性化させた状態とした上で、第１電極部３及び温熱部２によって、神経細胞を効果的に電気及び温熱刺激し、神経細胞の発火を効果的に生じさせ、神経繊維につながっている筋肉を効果的に刺激することにより、筋肉線維を柔軟にして筋肉線維の弾力性を回復させて筋肉に張力を持たせ、その結果、皮膚上に現れた皺や筋肉の弛みなどを効果的に低減又は除去することができる。 As described above, the biostimulator A is provided with the first electrode portion 3 and the heating portion 2 on the distal end surface of the stimulator body 1. Therefore, even if the user is not an expert, if the path of the rough nerve fiber is grasped, the first electrode portion 3 and the heating portion 2 can be attached by simply placing the tip surface of the stimulator body 1 on the skin. It can be set as the state applied to the several warm receptor which converges on the same nerve cell. Then, after the nerve cell and the warm receptor are activated by the weak current supplied through the first electrode unit 3, the nerve cell is effectively discharged by the first electrode unit 3 and the heating unit 2. And by stimulating the heat, effectively causing the firing of nerve cells, effectively stimulating the muscles connected to the nerve fibers, making the muscle fibers flexible and restoring the elasticity of the muscle fibers, and tensioning the muscles As a result, wrinkles appearing on the skin, muscle slack, and the like can be effectively reduced or eliminated.
　上記生体刺激具Ａにおいては、第１電極部３に常時通電されている場合を説明したが、第１電極部３への通電は、温熱部２に通電されて神経細胞に温熱刺激が付与されているときに行われればよく、例えば、温熱部２への通電のタイミングと同じタイミングで第１電極部に通電され、神経細胞に微弱電流を付与する構成としてもよい。 In the biostimulator A, the case where the first electrode unit 3 is always energized has been described. However, the energization of the first electrode unit 3 is energized by the heating unit 2 and thermal stimulation is applied to the nerve cells. For example, a configuration may be adopted in which the first electrode unit is energized at the same timing as the energization timing to the thermal unit 2 and a weak current is applied to the nerve cell.
　また、上記生体刺激具Ａでは、刺激具本体１の先端面に第１電極部３を設けると共に、刺激具本体１の把持部10に第２電極部12を設けた場合を説明したが、刺激具本体１の先端面に第１電極部3'及び第２電極部12'を共に設けてもよい。従って、刺激具本体１の把持部10には第２電極部12は設ける必要はない。なお、上述した生体刺激具Ａと同一の構成部分については同一符号を付して説明を省略する。図６にはあらわれていないが、刺激具本体１には、電源をＯＮ，ＯＦＦするためのスイッチが配設されている。刺激具本体１の内部に直流電源11が内蔵されていてもよいが、直流電源を内蔵することなく、外部の直流電源を用いてもよい。 Further, in the biostimulator A, the case where the first electrode portion 3 is provided on the distal end surface of the stimulator main body 1 and the second electrode portion 12 is provided on the grip portion 10 of the stimulator main body 1 has been described. Both the first electrode portion 3 ′ and the second electrode portion 12 ′ may be provided on the distal end surface of the tool body 1. Therefore, it is not necessary to provide the second electrode portion 12 in the grip portion 10 of the stimulator main body 1. In addition, about the component same as the biostimulator A mentioned above, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected and description is abbreviate | omitted. Although not shown in FIG. 6, the stimulator main body 1 is provided with a switch for turning the power on and off. Although the direct current power source 11 may be built in the stimulator main body 1, an external direct current power source may be used without incorporating the direct current power source.
