NOVEL DRY NEEDLING SYSTEM ANDTECHNIQUE FOR DIRECT CONNECT TISSUE FASCIA RELEASE
20220395429 · 2022-12-15 ·

A system and method for direct connect tissue fascia with a thin filiform needle piercing the skin, going underneath the skin into connective tissue fascia layer, to directly manipulate (stretch and vibrate) connective tissue fascia to reduce fascia adhesion/restriction and achieve efficient fascia release outcome.

HUMAN BODY STIMULATION DEVICE AND HUMAN BODY STIMULATION METHOD USING HUMAN BODY STIMULATION DEVICE
20220362098 · 2022-11-17 ·

A human body stimulation device and a human body stimulation method using the human body stimulation device. A human body stimulation device includes a human body stimulation unit including a sonic vibration module configured to apply sonic vibration to a body of the user, at least one motor configured to move the sonic vibration module, a position detection unit configured to detect a position of the sonic vibration module, and a controller. The controller determines a body part corresponding to the detected position of the sonic vibration module and controls the sonic vibration module to output the sonic vibration based on characteristics of the body part.

APPARATUS FOR TREATING SYMPTOMS ASSOCIATED WITH NEUROPATHY
20220362093 · 2022-11-17 ·

An apparatus for reducing symptoms associated with neuropathy such as pain or other sensation deficits and sensation dysfunction in the lower extremity of a patient includes a platform having a base and a top plate supported by the base and configured to allow a patient to place their feet thereon. A vibrational actuator is carried by the base and connected to the top plate and configured to vibrate the top plate when a patient stands thereon or while seated with their feet placed on top of the plate. A controller is connected to the vibrational actuator and configured to operate the vibrational actuator to impart a vibrating force to the top plate when a patient has their feet thereon and stimulate the Pacini corpuscles to impart a neurological feedback response that dilates blood vessels of the feet and legs.

System for generating stimulations in relation to medicines, and meridians, organs and tissues of a human body
11491080 · 2022-11-08 ·

A system for generating stimulations in relation to medicines, and meridians, organs and tissues of a human body includes a control device, a pulse examining device and a stimulation device. Based on a pulsation signal obtained from a user, the stimulation device obtains a meridian-related spectrum. Based on operation input to the control device, the stimulation device obtains an organ-tissue-related spectrum and a medication-related spectrum. The stimulation device obtains a stimulation spectrum by making a linear combination of these spectrums, and stimulates a sensory system of the user based on the stimulation spectrum.

Systems and methods for treating nausea and vomiting

A wearable stimulator device can be used to treat nausea and vomiting resulting from pregnancy, gastroparesis, virtual reality use, motion sickness, chemotherapy, and post-surgical nausea and vomiting, or other conditions by stimulating the P6 point of a user's forearm. A method of treating nausea includes monitoring one or more physiological parameters of a user via a wearable device, for example a smartwatch. Based on the one or more physiological parameters, the P6 point of the user's forearm can be stimulated for a predetermined time, for example via vibrational stimulation effected via a smartwatch or other wearable device. Data regarding the user's physiological parameters, stimulation sessions, and user-provided input regarding treatment efficacy and user symptoms can be collected and analyzed at scale to develop improved treatment regimes, for example modifying stimulation waveforms and/or timing, and identifying physiological parameters useful for predicting the onset of nausea.

APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR TREATMENT OF PAIN WITH BODY IMPEDANCE ANALYZER
20230080790 · 2023-03-16 ·

A patient treatment unit and method analyzes and treats pain in tissues by applying an electrical pulse train to the affected tissue. The impedance of the affected tissue is measured, and the measured impedance is correlated to a level of pain in the patient. The pulse train is further applied in response to the measured impedance to reduce the patient's pain. The patient treatment unit includes a probe stimulus generator that outputs the pulse train. The treatment unit also includes a pair of probes for contacting the patient's body and receiving the pulse train. The pulse has improved shaping based on isolation of high voltage from a low voltage control. The unit further includes a body impedance analysis circuit that senses voltage and current via the probes when the probes are contacting the patient and observe the impedance. A monitor is electrically coupled to the body impedance analysis circuit and provides an indication of the measured impedance indicative of the patient's level of pain in real-time.

Implantable electroacupuncture system and method for treating depression and similar mental conditions

A method of treating a mental disorder of a patient includes generating, by an implantable stimulator configured to be implanted beneath a skin surface of the patient, stimulation sessions at a duty cycle that is less than 0.05 and applying, by the implantable stimulator in accordance with the duty cycle, the stimulation sessions to a tissue location associated with the mental disorder. The duty cycle is a ratio of T3 to T4. Each stimulation session included in the stimulation sessions has a duration of T3 minutes and occurs at a rate of once every T4 minutes. The implantable stimulator is powered by a primary battery located within the implantable stimulator and having an internal impedance greater than 5 ohms.
