SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PHOTOTHERAPEUTIC MODULATION OF NITRIC OXIDE
Systems and methods for phototherapeutic modulation of nitric oxide in mammalian tissue include use of a first wavelength and first radiant flux of light to stimulate enzymatic generation of nitric oxide, and use of a second wavelength and second radiant flux of light to stimulate release of nitric oxide from endogenous stores of nitric oxide. Pulsed light and/or partially non-overlapping light impingement windows may be used. Non-coherent light impinged on tissue may include a peak wavelength in a range of from 410 nm to 440 nm in the absence of light emissions having a peak wavelength of from 600 nm to 900 nm.
Flexible Photobiomodulation and Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy Device
The present disclosure provides a combined Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) therapy and Photobiomodulation (PBM) therapeutic device in the form of a flexible wearable that can be secured to a user's body part to apply targeted radiation to a desired area. The frequencies and pulse patterns of both types of radiation are controlled by a single controller of the device which can switch between a number of pre-set sequences and patterns. The device is wirelessly enabled to allow control via an external user device.
SYSTEM AND METHOD OF TREATING PAIN WITH EXTERNAL TRANS-ZYGOMATIC ARCH PHOTIC STIMULATION
The invention is method comprising the use of an external photic stimulator treat and/or prevent pain in a subject, such as migraine headache, dental pain, and/or other sources of cranial pain. The presently disclosed method includes treating the pain externally through the cheek, over the zygomatic arch and area of the trigeminal ganglion. The external photic stimulation is believed to inhibit excessive firing of trigeminal ganglion circuits, preventing the excessive expression of calcitonin gene-related peptides and/or other inflammatory manifestations of the pain.
SYSTEM FOR MONITORING THE SLEEP AND/OR WELL-BEING OF A PASSENGER OF AN AIRCRAFT AND METHOD FOR IMPLEMENTING SUCH A SYSTEM
A system to manage the sleep and/or the well-being of a passenger/user of an aircraft includes a chair to be installed in a cabin of the aircraft and interaction devices to interact with the user. The system further includes a user terminal configured to receive data relating to characteristics of a user profile of the user, and a control/command module connected to the user terminal, interaction devices and a database storing information relating to characteristics of a flight of the aircraft. The command/control module being configured to pilot the interaction devices according to the data relating to characteristics of the user profile and characteristics of the flight of the aircraft.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PHOTOTHERAPY CONTROL
A phototherapy system for treating a user can include an applicator, a controller, and a communication cable configured to couple the applicator and the controller. The applicator can include a light source, a thermal sensor, and a fan. The controller can be in communication with the applicator. The controller can be configured to receive a predetermined treatment regimen to be applied to the user via the applicator. A method for treating skin presenting psoriasis includes providing a phototherapy system. The user can select a skin type on the controller. The use can place the applicator adjacent to the skin presenting psoriasis, eczema, or vitiligo. The user can receive a light therapy treatment from the applicator, whereby the psoriasis, eczema, or vitiligo has been treated.
Skin care device
Provided is a skin care device including a head part brought into contact with skin of a user, a battery configured to supply power for operation of the head part, a body part having a fastening portion provided at one end to which the head part is fastened and provided with the battery therein, and a cap assembly detachably attached to one end of the body part and forming an accommodation space configured to accommodate the head part, wherein the cap assembly includes a sterilization module disposed to irradiate ultraviolet light toward the head part when the cap assembly accommodates the head part.
Light treatment system and light treatment method
A light treatment system includes: a probe configured to be inserted into a body cavity, the probe including an optical fiber configured to propagate light, and a light emitter that is provided at a distal end of the optical fiber, the emitter being configured to emit the light; a balloon catheter into which the probe is inserted, the balloon catheter including a distal end portion that is to be inserted into the body cavity and that is to be dilated by being supplied with a liquid including air bubbles; and an air bubble generator configured to generate the air bubbles to be included in the liquid and change a property of the air bubbles.
Thalamic Input to Orbitofrontal Cortex Drives Brain-Wide, Frequency-Dependent Inhibition Mediated By GABA and Zona Incerta
Provided herein are methods and systems for modulating temporal patterns of neuronal activity in the brain. A method of the present disclosure may include using optogenetics to stimulate a one or more of thalamocortical projections, thalamic relay neurons, cortical projection neurons, cell bodies in a thalamic submedial nucleus, and cell bodies in the VLO in the brain, in conjunction with fMRI of different regions of the brain to directly visualize the global influence of the VLO's afferent and efferent connections, and characterize how different temporal patterns of activity in the VLO circuit affect brain dynamics by driving its input and output at distinct frequencies.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR AESTHETIC TREATMENT
Provided herein is a multifunctional aesthetic system including a housing, an electromagnetic array situated in the housing and having one or more electromagnetic radiation (EMR) sources, a controller in electronic communication with the array to operate the one or more of the EMR sources to direct the EMR beam to a treatment area, and one or more sensors in electronic communication with the controller for providing feedback to the controller based on defined parameters to allow the controller to adjust at least one operating condition of the multifunctional system in response to the feedback.
DEVICE PROVIDING NEUROTHERAPEUTIC INTERVENTION VIA MULTI-MODAL ENERGY THERAPY
The present invention relates generally to a device for providing multi-modal energy therapy to treat neurogenerative disorders, and more particularly to a device providing multi-modal neuro-supportive energy therapy to a person via a daily session in a single facility. The device provides safe, well studied energy therapies in a controlled manner to stimulate neuronal mitochondrial activity which powers the brains neurons and is often defective in neurodegenerative disease states. Selected energy delivery mechanisms and frequencies are employed to stabilize microglial activity and promote microglial homeostasis and neuroprotective secretions, including mitochondrial melatonin and other neuroprotective factors. In addition to practicality, the combination of these proven therapeutic modalities into a single device may offer synergies not found when they are employed alone. This focused combination of these unique energy based therapies may offer new hope to slow, stop, reverse or mitigate neurogenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer's, ALS and Parkinson's diseases.
