CORONA DISCHARGE THERMOTHERAPY TECHNIQUE Inventor: Alfonso Di Mino, a citizen of the United States of America and resident of Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A non-invasive thermotherapy technique for relieving pain and obtaining other beneficial effects. In this technique, the skin surface of a patient overlying a problem region such as an arthritic joint is scanned by a corona discharge beam emanating from a discharge electrode to which is applied periodic bursts of radio-frequency energy whose repetition rate is at a sonic frequency and whose peak amplitude is such as to cause a corona discharge. This energy is derived from a radio-fre- quency carrier generator whose operating frequency is preferably in the range of 200 to 300 KHz. This carrier is overmodulated in amplitude at a sonic rate, whose frequency is preferably in the 3000 to 5000 Hz range, so that the carrier is interrupted periodically to produce the bursts.
