An autonomous neurostimulation unit used in the modulation of the nervous system is provided and has: at least one pair of pads, each formed by at least one inner layer of ceramic; an intermediate layer; and a conductive alloy coating. The material of the layer of coating is different and has different conductivity in each of the pads of the pair. The unit can be used in the modulation of the nervous system, with neurostimulation methods that are adapted to each patient.

A device and a method for switchable vibration modal ultrasonic are provided. The device includes a hollow shaft, an ultrasonic motor, a limit shell, an electromagnet, a moving tool head, a vibration source and a tool head. The structure design of the ultrasonic motor, the magnetostrictive materials and the drive coil combination of different functions are configured so that, without changing the condition of components, the ultrasonic can switch mode, namely the longitudinal vibration, torsional vibration, and longitudinal and torsional vibration in three different vibration modes. During the operation of the device, different vibration modes are excited without changing the parts, which meets the machining requirements of different vibration forms. Meanwhile, the operation is more convenient and faster, and the overall design structure of the device ensures the efficient and safe operation of the device.

A hot stone placement pad includes a number of retaining pockets, each configured to hold a corresponding stone during a session, wherein substantially all of the retaining pockets face inward toward the central axis of the pad such that the pad may be grasped at opposite ends and lifted from the client's body while the stones remain in their respective pockets. The dimensions of the pad and the positions of the retaining pockets may be scaled to the client's body size.

An auricular peripheral nerve field stimulator includes at least one therapy electrode configured for percutaneous insertion into an auricle of a human ear near at least one neurovascular bundle, and an electrical stimulation device electrically coupled to the at least one therapy electrode, the electrical stimulation device programmed to generate and deliver electrical stimulation signals, with defined stimulation parameters, to the percutaneously inserted at least one therapy electrode to stimulate at least one auricular peripheral nerve field within the auricle, the defined stimulation parameters including a defined signal amplitude, a defined pulse frequency, a defined pulse width, a defined duty cycle and a defined stimulation signal duration.

A system comprises a flexible pad, an antenna wire disposed within the flexible pad, and an electronics unit connected to or capable of being connected to the antenna wire. The electronics unit can include circuitry configured to access a stored playlist representing a sequence of tones at different frequencies, and to generate signals representing the tones such that two or more of the tones are generated in the sequence according to the stored playlist. The electronics unit further can include an oscillator to generate a carrier signal and coupled so that the signals representing the tones modulate the carrier signal according to the sequence when applied to an input of the oscillator, where the oscillator has an output connected to transmit the modulated carrier signal onto an antenna when the electronics unit is in operation.
