一種將結(jié)合微芯片技術(shù)的微型電子刺激設(shè)備與傳統(tǒng)針刺技術(shù)，能夠治療慢性疼痛。

P-Stim是由Neuroscience治療公司(San Dimas, CA, USA)生產(chǎn)的，是一種經(jīng)皮膚的耳狀電磁刺激設(shè)備，能夠進(jìn)行耳部針刺治療。由微處理器控制，該設(shè)備能夠產(chǎn)生低頻電子脈沖，從耳部多點(diǎn)的棒狀傳遞給外周神經(jīng)末端。這種刺激能夠?qū)е聝?nèi)啡呔的釋放，從而產(chǎn)生止痛作用。

Electronic Device Applies Auricular Acupuncture
 
A miniaturized electro-stimulation device combines microchip technology with traditional acupuncture techniques to treat chronic pain.

P-Stim, manufactured by Neuroscience Therapy (San Dimas, CA, USA), is a percutaneous auricular electro-stimulation device that operates on the principle of auricular (ear) acupuncture. Micro-processor controlled, it generates a low-frequency electrical pulse that is transmitted to the peripheral nerve endings in the ear via a multi-point stylus. This stimulation results in the release of endorphins that have an analgesic, or pain-relieving, effect.
