A knee brace for continual electro-acupuncture stimulation system comprises a first circuit having a first circuit having a first electrode configured to electrically coupled to acupuncture point 'Heting (S)' and a second electrode configured to electrically coupled to acupuncture point 'Bladder', a second circuit having a third electrode configured to electrically coupled to acupuncture point &#x201c;Spleenand a fourth electrode configured to electrically coupled to acupuncture point &#x201c;Hsiyen (S)&#x201d;, and a third circuit having a fifth electrode configured to electrically coupled to acupuncture point &#x201c;Stomachand a sixth electrode configured to electrically coupled to acupuncture point &#x201c;Stomach&#x201d;. The first, third, and fifth electrodes are connected to a polarity of voltage, and the second, fourth, and sixth electrodes are connected to an opposite polarity of voltage, such that electric currents flow in a body of a patient to achieve analgesia, cartilage repair and regeneration in the knee joint.

Knee brace for continual electro-acupunctural stimulation; in vivo and in situ tissue engineering

The invention includes an electro-acupuncture stimulation system for in vivo and in situ analgesia and tissue repair and regeneration. Electrodes, which can be acupuncture needles, are percutaneously implanted that deliver a pulsed electrical current that creates an electrical field, which envelopes the targeted tissue and restores cell-generating homeostasis to the affected tissue and thereby promotes analgesia and tissue re-growth in otherwise debilitated or deteriorating tissue. Methods and apparatuses are also disclosed that may include a needle locking system and acupuncture-needle assemblies for long-term in situ electrical stimulation.

Percutaneous continual electro-acupuncture stimulation for in vivo and in situ tissue engineering

Methods and devices for augmenting bone, such as in performing vertebroplasty are disclosed. A bone cement injection needle is provided, having a laterally deflectable distal end. The distal end may be provided with a cavity creation element, such as an inflatable balloon. Systems are also disclosed, including the steerable injection needle, introducer and stylet. The system may additionally include a cement delivery gun, one-time use disposable cement cartridges and a cement mixing chamber. Methods are also disclosed.
