Abstract

The medical method of treating pain and inflammations including neurogenic inflammation of the visceral or somatic organ known herein as the effector in human body involve and mediate by the afferent nervous system and the autonomic nervous system innervating the visceral or somatic organ. The method is the application of an electrical current stimulus or an electromagnetic stimulus to aforementioned nervous systems innervating adjacent or distant soft tissues known herein as the affector. The technique is the reversibly and percutaneously implanting a pair of anode needle electrode and cathode needle electrode or a concentric needle electrode functioning with an anode and a cathode in the affector and passing of electrical current of sufficient amperage to excite or inhibit the activity of the nerves and the nerve receptors innervating the affector. Electrical current is transmitted from a current generating device through the electrical leads to the electrode(s) and then to the nerves and the nerve receptors. Alternative stimulus is the transcutaneous electromagnetic stimulus delivered to the nerves and the nerve receptors by the application of the transcutaneous electromagnetic stimulus producing device over the nerves and the nerve receptors innervating the affector.
