Transcutaneous electrical stimulation equipment is a kind of characteristic therapeutic devices developed on the basis of the integration of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) theory and modern science and technology, which is widely used in clinical practice. Significant breakthroughs have been made in the development of related devices such as transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (TEAS) devices, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) devices, and transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) devices in recent years. Although the market for these devices is vast, there are still limitations that need to be optimized in terms of electrode materials and power supply methods, bulky instrument size, cumbersome wiring, restricted applications, and inadequate intelligent functionality. In the future, it is still necessary to further build upon the theoretical foundation of TCM acupuncture, integrate a variety of modern scientific technologies to advance the intelligence and modernization of acupuncture equipment, and thereby improving its capabilities to support clinical practice and research.
经皮电刺激设备是一种基于中医理论与现代科技融合而研发的特色治疗设备，在临床实践中广泛应用。近年来，经皮穴位电刺激（TEAS）设备、经皮神经电刺激（TENS）设备和经皮耳迷走神经刺激（taVNS）设备等相关设备的研发取得了重大突破。尽管这些设备的市场广阔，但在电极材料和供电方式、仪器体积庞大、布线繁琐、应用受限以及智能功能不足等方面仍存在需要优化的局限性。未来，仍有必要在中医针灸理论基础上进一步发展，融合多种现代科学技术，推动针灸设备的智能化和现代化，从而提高其支持临床实践和研究的能力。
