A gastrointestinal stimulation devices including a random stimulation delivery mechanism(s), configured to provide stimuli to a bodily tissue in a vicinity of the stimulation capsule, the provided random stimuli being characterized by a stimulation parameter, and a control circuitry in communication with said physical stimulation delivery mechanism, and configured to set and alter the stimulation parameter non-systematically, thereby altering the characterization of the stimuli provided to the bodily tissue. The algorithm may be patient tailored, and may have a learning machinery which responds to data being received from the patient.

A method for enhancing postoperative healing using a low pressure suction apparatus comprising obtaining a preferably both electrically powered and portable treatment apparatus capable of contacting, via a treatment head, a target area of a patient and introducing low-pressure suction, i.e. negative pressure flow, thereto, configuring the treatment apparatus so as to introduce predefined, advantageously, pulsating pressure variation to a suction opening arranged at the treatment head, and applying the suction opening of the treatment head on the target area before the surgery, i.e. during the preoperative period, and optionally after the surgery, while the treatment apparatus is on and providing the suction effect corresponding to the configuration.

A method for at least temporarily alleviating neuropathic pain comprising obtaining a preferably both electrically powered and portable treatment apparatus capable of contacting, via a treatment head, a target area of a patient and introducing low-pressure suction, i.e. negative pressure flow, thereto, configuring the treatment apparatus so as to introduce predefined, advantageously, pulsating pressure variation to a suction opening arranged at the treatment head, and applying the suction opening of the treatment head on the target area while the treatment apparatus is on and providing the suction effect corresponding to the configuration.

A method for at least ameliorating the symptoms of head and neck area lymphedema, comprising obtaining a preferably both electrically powered and portable treatment apparatus capable of contacting, via a treatment head, a target area in the head or neck region of a patient and introducing low-pressure suction (negative pressure flow) thereto, configuring the treatment apparatus so as to introduce predefined, advantageously, pulsating pressure variation to a suction opening arranged at the treatment head, applying the suction opening of the treatment head on the target area while the treatment apparatus is on and providing the suction effect corresponding to the configuration.

A method for treatment of nerve function comprises obtaining a preferably both electrically powered and portable treatment apparatus capable of contacting, via a treatment head, a target area of a patient and introducing low-pressure suction, i.e. negative pressure flow, thereto, configuring the treatment apparatus so as to introduce predefined, advantageously, pulsating pressure variation to a suction opening arranged at the treatment head, and applying the suction opening of the treatment head on the target area while the treatment apparatus is on and providing the suction effect corresponding to the configuration.

A light therapy system is made up of a pressure cuff system having a cuff that is positionable on or near a body part of a user and that can receive pressurized air to selectively pressurize and depressurize the cuff and a light emitting system having a supporting structure and a light emitter positioned on the supporting structure, the light emitter being controllably powerable. The supporting structure is positionable on an interior surface of the cuff so that the light emitter can direct light onto the body part. The light therapy system can further include a controller capable of controllably powering the light emitter, wherein controller can adjust the intensity or duration of the light directed onto the body part in response to an input or measurement related to a condition of the body part. A photometer can be provided separately or integrally to measure the condition of the body part. A method of providing light therapy is also provided.
