DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF CHRONIC PAIN
Methods, systems and devices for treating chronic pain by inducing stimulation to a predetermined region of the brain and measuring neural activity response to the stimulation and evaluating a neuroplasticity and/or excitability of neural-structures in a predetermined brain region, then stimulating the predetermined brain region to treat the chronic pain.
METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING ELECTRICAL STIMULATION TO A USER
A method for providing electrical stimulation to a user as a user performs a set of tasks during a time window, the method comprising: providing an electrical stimulation treatment, characterized by a stimulation parameter and a set of portions, to a brain region of the user in association with the time window; for each task of the set of tasks: receiving a signal stream characterizing a neurological state of the user; from the signal stream, identifying a neurological signature characterizing the neurological state associated with the task; and modulating the electrical stimulation treatment provided to the brain region of the user based upon the neurological signature, wherein modulating comprises delivering a portion of the set of portions of the electrical stimulation treatment to the brain region of the user, while maintaining an aggregate amount of the stimulation parameter of the treatment provided during the time window below a maximum limit.
BODY-CONDITION-DEPENDENT STIMULATION WITH REAL-TIME COMMUNICATION BETWEEN AN ACTION MODULE AND A CAPTURE MODULE
The invention relates to a system for body-condition-dependent stimulation by means of function modules, e. g. an action module (2, D/A module) for stimulating tissue and a capture module (3, A/D module) for deriving/measuring bio data or bio signals, characterized in that the two modules communicate via a communication link (5) that meets hard or at least firm real-time requirements. The communication link (5) preferably comprises a real-time-capable bus to which the two modules are connected, above all an EtherCAT bus.
DEVICES, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS FOR NON-INVASIVE CHRONIC PAIN THERAPY

The sensing device being configured for determining and measuring the efficacy thereof. Particularly, the present disclosure is directed to providing sensing devices, systems including the same, and their methods of use in identifying and targeting one or more sources of pain, such as chronic neuropathic pain, as well as for facilitating in the treatment thereof.
CLINICAL AND PERSONAL ELECTROMAGNETIC STIMULATOR AND IONTOPHORESIS DEVICE FOR TREATING RETINA AND OPTICAL NERVE DISEASES
An electromagnetic stimulator and iontophoresis device used in treating retina and optical nerve diseases is provided. The electromagnetic stimulator and iontophoresis device enables to reach required threshold values for treating the retina and optical nerve diseases with magnetic fields to eliminate a thermal damage risk formed at a cellular level by cooling cages closed over electromagnetic coils, and allows usage by a patient alone at home, who has low vision, without receiving any professional help by an audio command guidance system including a speaker.
Non-invasive vagal nerve stimulation to treat disorders
Devices, systems and methods are disclosed for treating a variety of diseases and disorders that are primarily or at least partially driven by an imbalance in neurotransmitters in the brain, such as asthma, COPD, depression, anxiety, epilepsy, fibromyalgia, and the like. The invention involves the use of an energy source comprising magnetic and/or electrical energy that is transmitted non-invasively to, or in close proximity to, a selected nerve to temporarily stimulate, block and/or modulate the signals in the selected nerve such that neural pathways are activated to release inhibitory neurotransmitters in the patient's brain.
SYSTEM FOR ANALYZING EFFECTS OF MINERAL CRYSTALS TO HUMAN BODY AND METHOD FOR PERFORMING THE SAME
A system for analyzing effects of mineral crystals to a human body and the method for performing the system comprises a helmet, a brainwave; a brainwave transceiver; a processor unit. The processor unit includes a processor transceiver, a brainwave calculating unit, a testing person database, a physiological and psychological effect database, a brainwave comparison module. In test, a specific mineral crystal is located in different distance from a testing person to test effects of the mineral crystal to the testing person; the testing person wears the helmet and the brainwave transceiver transmits measured brainwaves to the processor unit; and then the processor unit calculates statistical data about the brainwaves, and from the physiological and psychological effect database, effects of the mineral crystal to the testing person can be determined.
System and method for generating electromagnetic treatment protocols for the nervous system
A system includes a communication interface for receiving information that includes data collected from an array of neural activity sensors that were placed on a patient during a session of applied stimuli. A processor is configured to analyze the received information to obtain a frequency spectrum for each sensor for a given stimulus of the applied stimuli. Neural network frequencies that correspond to an indicated impaired functionality of the nervous system of the patient are selected. For each selected frequencies, a spatial map of neural activity is generated. Each of the generated spatial maps is compared with retrieved corresponding spatial maps to identify treatment frequencies from among the selected neural network frequencies. A treatment protocol is generated for input into an electromagnetic field generator to cause the generator to apply to the patient an electromagnetic field at each identified treatment frequency.
