FIELD

This invention relates to pain treatment devices and more particularly relates to a light emitting pain treatment device.

BACKGROUND

Light is used in pain treatment devices to heal wounds and reduce pain of a patient. Currently, light emitting pain treatment devices are typically a single treatment head attached to a stand or other stationary device, which is inconvenient. Some devices are handheld, but are single heads, which only covers a small area.

SUMMARY

An apparatus for pain treatment includes a first treatment head and a second treatment head, where each treatment head includes one or more light sources with different wavelengths oriented to deliver light from the one or more sources to a patient area adjacent to the treatment head. The apparatus includes a first articulated arm pivotably connected to the first treatment head at a first end of the first articulated arm and a second articulated arm pivotably connected to the second treatment head at a first end of the second articulated arm. The apparatus includes a handle. A first end of the handle is coupled to the first articulated arm at a second end of the first articulated arm distal to the first end of the first articulated arm. A second end of the handle, distal to the first end of the handle, is coupled to the second articulated arm at a second end of the second articulated arm distal to the first end of the second articulated arm.

Another apparatus for pain treatment includes a first treatment head and a second treatment head. Each treatment head includes a first light source emitting light at a first wavelength, a second light source emitting light at second wavelength, and a third light source emitting light at a third light source, where the light sources are each oriented to deliver light to an area on a patient in contact with the treatment head. The apparatus includes a first articulated arm pivotably connected to the first treatment head at a first end of the first articulated arm and a second articulated arm pivotably connected to the second treatment head at a first end of the second articulated arm. The apparatus includes a handle. A first end of the handle is coupled to the first articulated arm at a second end of the first articulated arm distal to the first end of the first articulated arm, and a second end of the handle, distal to the first end of the handle, is coupled to the second articulated arm at a second end of the second articulated arm distal to the first end of the second articulated arm. The first articulated arm and the second articulated arm extend away from the handle in a same direction toward the patient.

The first articulated arm and the second articulated arm extend away from the handle in a same direction toward the patient.

In the embodiment, the apparatus includes a control module disposed within the handle, first articulated arm and/or second articulated arm and a user interface that controls treatment parameters of the first and second treatment heads, wherein the user plurality of treatment modes where each treatment mode includes a unique combination of intensity and/or duty cycle of each of the first, second and third light sources. The first articulated arm and/or the second articulated arm is adjustably connected to the handle and movement of the first articulated arm, the second articulated arm or both the first articulated arm and the second articulated arm adjust a width between the first treatment head and the second treatment head. The pivotal connection between the first treatment head and the first articulated arm and the pivotal connection between the second treatment head and the second articulated arm each include a hinge configured to allow movement of the first treatment head and the second treatment head in a direction through a plane running through the handle, the first articulated arm and the second articulated arm, and the pivotal connection between the first treatment head and the first articulated arm and the pivotal connection between the second treatment head and the second articulated arm are configured so a light emission side of the first treatment head and a light emission side of the second treatment head are positionable in a range from facing each other to facing a same direction.
