Arthritis transcutaneous electrical joint stimulation system

Definition

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 arthritic tissue in a joint across the skin (transcutaneously); it is not intended for neurostimulation. It typically consists of an external electric current generator and electrodes (leads) that are placed on the skin with conductive patches to deliver pulsed electrical fields to the painful arthritic tissue. It is intended for routine home-use to treat symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) of the hands and osteoarthritis of the knee.
