Abstract
An ergonometric transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator especially designed for dysmenorrhea and low back pain. The ergonometric factors include a housing containing the electrical circuit, the housing being of a generally flattened disk shape with well rounded edges. A first power switch is located on a side edge of the housing, and one or more rocker switches controlling the amplitude of the current stimulation pulses to be supplied by one or more channels from the stimulator are mounted on a side edge of the housing. The housing of the stimulator has one or more attachment points on the side edge of the housing to allow for connection of the housing to a body or garment strap.
