Auricular peripheral nerve field stimulator and method of operating same
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.
SOLE WITH INTEGRATED MASSAGE APPARATUS
A massage apparatus and system are herein disclosed. The massage apparatus is embedded in a sole or insole of a shoe and includes a controller, massage pads, and a battery. The controller communicates with a remote controller to selectively activate the massage pads. The present invention allows for customizable massaging at reflexology regions of a user's foot.
Method of Treating Urinary Dysfunction
A process to treating urinary dysfunction in humans, male or female, comprises the steps of: (a) placing a wave front generator capable of generating a wave front to and through the perineum; (b) generating a wave front directed towards and into the pelvic floor and applying said wave front for a suitable period of time; and (c) repeating steps a and b for a suitable number of consecutive days.
VAGINAL HEALTH DIAGNOSTICS
A treatment system includes a treatment device adapted to contact a vulvar or vaginal tissue of a body and includes a treatment mechanism configured to apply a treatment to the tissue and at least one sensor configured to provide objective sensor data related to the tissue. An external device is configured to receive subjective information provided by a user or a third party and to receive the objective sensor data from the treatment device. The external device includes a processor configured to use the subjective information and the objective sensor data in a decision matrix to issue commands to at least the treatment mechanism that correspond to treatment instructions based on the subjective information and the objective data. The treatment instructions include instructions related to controlling the treatment mechanism and its application of treatment to the tissue and a treatment duration.
METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MULTIMODAL STIMULATION
A system for providing multimodal stimulation to a user includes a tactile device including a set of tactile actuators. Additionally, the system can include and/or interface with a user device, a remote computing system, and/or any other devices. A method for multimodal stimulation functions to provide therapy to a user for tinnitus or other conditions, and includes any or all of: receiving a set of inputs; determining a set of outputs; providing the set of outputs to a user; and adjusting any or all of the set of outputs.
VIBRATION-INDUCED TREMOR RELIEF APPARATUS
A Smart Strap includes a flexible strap having a first plurality of vibration actuators, a second plurality of vibration actuators, and a motion sensor, with a processor having a processor power source connected to the motion sensor. An actuator power source is connected to the two pluralities of vibration actuators through a first switch and a second switch, respectively. The processor is configured to read acceleration of the motion sensor at a prescribed frequency, and turn on the first plurality of vibration actuators for a first prescribed treatment time when the acceleration exceeds a threshold acceleration value for a threshold time period. The processor is further configured to turn on the second plurality of vibration actuators when the acceleration remains above the threshold acceleration value after the first plurality of vibration actuators are turned on. The processor is configured to transmit an event record to a recording device.
SYSTEMS FOR CLOSED-LOOP ULTRASOUND-IMAGING BASED CONTROL AND RELATED METHODS
Systems and methods for closed-loop ultrasound imaging-based control are described herein. An example system includes an ultrasound transducer, and a controller operably coupled to the ultrasound transducer. The controller includes a processor and memory, the memory having computer-executable instructions stored thereon. The controller is configured to receive an ultrasound imaging signal associated with a subject's muscular activity from the ultrasound transducer; process the ultrasound imaging signal to obtain a feedback signal; and control a device interfacing with the subject based on the feedback signal.
HIGH FREQUENCY CHEST WALL OSCILLATION AIR PULSE GENERATOR HAVING PRESSURE SENSOR FOR FEEDBACK CONTROL
A high frequency chest wall oscillation therapy system includes an air pulse generator. The air pulse generator includes control circuitry and a fluid chamber carrying a fluid. A motor is configured to generate compression and expansion of the fluid in the fluid chamber to generate pressurized fluid. A pressure sensor detects a pressure of the pressurized fluid in the fluid chamber. A garment includes at least one fluid bladder defining a pressurizable chamber adapted to receive the pressurized fluid from the fluid chamber to provide a force of high frequency pressure oscillation to a patient's chest wall.
