An assembly of battery-powered devices intended to be used as adjunctive therapy in reducing the level of pain and stiffness associated with rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis by electrically stimulating peripheral nerves across the skin (transcutaneously). It typically consists of an external electric current generator and electrodes that are placed on the skin near a joint(s) to provide the electrical stimulus to the painful area. It typically includes several predetermined stimulation options and is often worn on a belt or carried in a pocket of the user. It is intended for routine home-use to treat symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) of the hands and osteoarthritis of the knee.
