A device is provided for vibrational stimulation of body tissue in body cavities which are difficult to access, particularly in the nasal cavity. The device includes an expandable stimulation member, which can be introduced via a body opening into a body cavity. In an expanded state of the device, the stimulation means abuts against the body tissue within the body cavity. To accomplish vibrational stimulation, the stimulation member is brought to vibrate at a frequency of 48-70 Hz within the body cavity. A method is also provided for vibrational stimulation of body tissue in a body cavity, particularly in the nasal cavity of a patient.

A therapeutic device for treating one or more conditions associated with a user's nasal cavities, sinuses, and/or ear canals includes a housing having an opening, an acoustic vibrator within the housing that is operable to provide an acoustic vibration to the user, a fan within the housing that is operable to provide a pressure to the user and a power supply that provides power to the acoustic vibrator and the fan. A mask is connected to the housing at the opening and includes a nasal interface appliable around the nose of the user, a nasal chamber in which the user's nostrils are located and an aperture through which the fan delivers the pressure.

The present invention is a method and device for inducing or promoting a meditative state.

A method of vibration treatment in at least one nasal cavity of a human subject is provided. The method includes the steps of: inserting a first stimulation member in a first nasal cavity; inserting a second stimulation member in a second nasal cavity; securing the first and second stimulation members such that the stimulation members are in fixed positions within the nasal cavities prior to vibration stimulation; arranging each of the first and second stimulation members to abut against tissue within each of the first and second nasal cavities at a first and second pressure; and imparting vibrations to tissue in at least one of the first and second nasal cavities via at least one of the first and second stimulation members.

A nasal irrigation device communicates an irrigant to a device user and comprises a mechanics module and a reservoir assembly wherein a source of saline comprising a cartridge is disposed within the mechanics module adjacent a lid assembly for piercing the cartridge upon closing of a lid for releasing the cartridge contents into the reservoir assembly. A faux collapsible cartridge for testing operability of a nasal irrigation device comprises a housing including a shaft, a spring biased rod extending from the housing shaft, and a flange depending from a housing wall whereby the rod and flange are disposed to actuate a trigger assembly of the nasal irrigation device.

Described here are devices, systems, and methods for treating one or more conditions (such as dry eye) or improving ocular health by providing stimulation to nasal or sinus tissue. Generally, the devices may be handheld or implantable. In some variations, the handheld devices may have a stimulator body and a stimulator probe having one or more nasal insertion prongs. When the devices and systems are used to treat dry eye, nasal or sinus tissue may be stimulated to increase tear production, reduce the symptoms of dry eye, and/or improve ocular surface health.

A method for treatment of a headache disorder in a human subject, including selecting at least one treatment area in the nasal cavity of the human subject, said treatment area being selected from a posterior part of the nasal cavity or an anterior part of the nasal cavity, providing a device including a stimulation member arranged for vibration stimulation of the selected treatment area, and at least one expansion member provided with a channel having a plurality of openings arranged for fluid communication with the stimulation member, introducing the stimulation member into a nasal cavity of the human subject, expanding the stimulation member to a volume such that the stimulation member abuts against the tissue to exert a pressure on tissue of the selected treatment area and bringing the stimulation member to vibrate in the nasal cavity to impart vibrations to the selected treatment area, wherein the vibrations are imparted to a posterior part of the nasal cavity, to an anterior part of the nasal cavity, sequentially to a posterior and an anterior part of the nasal cavity; or simultaneously to a posterior and an anterior part of the nasal cavity.

A method and apparatus for affecting wellness in a person's body are provided. More particularly, the apparatus for affecting wellness comprises one, or even two, cylindrical rods comprising minerals and other materials defined, in some embodiments, by high specific heat and low conductivity so that the rods are able transfer heat to a person's body relatively slowly. Methods are disclosed which direct particular applications of such rods, or wands, on the body in order to locally stimulate muscles and circulation to relieve and/or treat various conditions.

A reflexology apparatus is described. In some examples, the reflexology apparatus can include a frame portion and one or more pressure point nodes attached to the frame portion. The reflexology apparatus can also include a removable sleeve portion that covers at least part of the frame portion and has one or more pressure point nodes attached to the removable sleeve portion.

A pain management device with a body portion having an elongate handle with an arm at one end for releasably attaching treatment attachments, the body portion having generally planar scraping wings for Gua Sha treatment, and a motor inside the body portion configured to impart vibration in each of several modes optimized for vibration therapy. The invention may also include a kit with the pain management device, and one or more treatment attachments designed for unilateral or bilateral vibration application adjacent to trigeminal and/or vagus nerves. The treatment attachment may have two or more pivotable arms that extend that extend perpendicular to the elongated handle when attached to the pain management. Also disclosed are methods of using the pain management device, in particular, for treating chronic and other pain and similar conditions.
