The Electro-Acuscope and the Myopulse are companion microcurrent instruments. The Acuscope was introduced in 1978 and the Myopulse in 1983. What sets them apart from most electrical devices is that they listen as well as speak: between pulses, the instruments measure the tissue’s impedance, its resistance to the flow of current, and use that reading to shape the next output (Dacri, n.d.).
According to the manufacturer’s training materials, the Acuscope pairs square-wave output with the nervous system, while the Myopulse pairs sine-wave output with muscle, tendon, ligament, and fascia. Both instruments are registered with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the Acuscope as a TENS device and the Myopulse as an electrical muscle stimulator (Dacri, n.d.).
How we use it
This is the system behind our microcurrent work. Our dedicated microcurrent sessions run one to two hours and include tissue response testing, so each session follows what the readings show rather than a fixed script.
Where the evidence stands
The descriptions above come from the manufacturer’s training materials. Independent research on microcurrent in general is promising and uneven, and we describe these sessions as wellness experiences.
