A method for treating nerves in a nasal cavity starts with identifying a patient having a condition occurring outside the nasal cavity. The method then involves activating a console attached to a radiofrequency stylus, advancing a distal tip of the radiofrequency stylus into a nostril of the patient, contacting nasal mucosa lining the nasal cavity with a treatment surface of the distal tip, and delivering radiofrequency energy from one set of bipolar electrodes on the treatment surface of the distal tip to a second set of bipolar electrodes on the treatment surface, to treat at least one nerve underlying the nasal mucosa. Treating the nerve (or nerves) involves modulating activity of the nerve to ameliorate the condition occurring outside the nasal cavity.

The present disclosure relates to a neuromonitoring device. The neuromonitoring device may include a probe, an operation part, and a display part. The probe may include a probe head, an elastic piece, and an elastic measuring piece. The probe head may be connected to the elastic piece. The elastic measuring piece may be connected to the elastic piece and may be used to measure an elasticity value of the elastic piece and convert the elasticity value into a first electrical signal. The display part may be configured to display prompt information. The prompt information may include prompt information regarding the elasticity value determined based on the first electrical signal.

A biometric information display device includes a display controller configured to display a morphological image indicative of a morphology of a subject, on a display, an input controller configured to receive a designation of a specified position on the morphological image, a pathway generating section configured to generate a pathway based on the specified position on the morphological image, and a current extracting section configured to extract current components at a plurality of positions along the pathway, based on current information reconstructed based on magnetic field measurement data generated by the subject. The display controller displays the current components extracted along the pathway on the display.

A method for detecting and identifying a patient physiological response includes stimulating, via a stimulating electrode coupled to a patient, one or more nerves of the patient. The method includes recording, via a recording electrode coupled to the patient, a plurality of resultant electrical waveforms. The method includes determining, based on the plurality of resultant electrical waveforms, whether at least a subset of the plurality of resultant electrical waveforms includes a patient physiological response. The determining includes comparing the subset of resultant electrical waveforms of the plurality of resultant electrical waveforms to a model waveform from a database of a plurality of model waveforms. The determining includes determining, based on the comparison, a comparison feature. The comparison feature indicates whether the patient physiological response exists in the subset. The method includes displaying, via a display, an indication that the patient physiological response exists in the subset of resultant electrical waveforms.

Described herein is a monitoring system that includes a foot diagnostic device. The foot diagnostic device is shaped to receive one or both of a user's feet. The foot diagnostic device is equipped with a number of sensors that may work together or separately from each other, which are able to measure different diagnostic attributes of the feet. The system includes a mobile application and the ability to transmit information to the mobile application and other locations such as a physician's office.

Systems and methods are provided for stimulating one or more nerves with an implantable device. The implantable device may comprise an antenna circuit including a loop antenna and a control circuit including a rectifying diode for rectifying an alternating voltage induced in the antenna circuit by an external electromagnetic field.

A system (1) for electrically stimulating a nerve (3), the system comprising: a first stimulator (5) and a second stimulator (7) for electrically stimulating the nerve, the first stimulator and the second stimulator spaced apart from one another by a first distance; and a controller (9) arranged to: a) set a time interval as a function of the first distance and the speed of propagation of an action potential in the nerve; b) activate the first stimulator for a first stimulation period, thus inducing electrical activity in the nerve; and c) activate the second stimulator for a second stimulation period after the time interval has elapsed after the end of the first time period. Preferably, the time interval is a sum of the first time period and a buffer time period for allowing the nerve to recover from stimulation.
