Methods and apparatus are provided for pulsed electric field neuromodulation via an intra-to-extravascular approach, e.g., to effectuate irreversible electroporation or electrofusion, necrosis and/or inducement of apoptosis, alteration of gene expression, changes in cytokine upregulation and other conditions in target neural fibers. In some embodiments, the ITEV PEF system comprises an intravascular catheter having one or more electrodes configured for intra-to-extravascular placement across a wall of patient's vessel into proximity with target neural fibers. With the electrode(s) passing from an intravascular position to an extravascular position prior to delivery of the PEF, a magnitude of applied voltage or energy delivered via the electrode(s) and necessary to achieve desired neuromodulation may be reduced relative to an intravascular PEF system having one or more electrodes positioned solely intravascularly. The methods and apparatus of the present invention may, for example, be used to modulate one or more target neural fibers that contribute to renal function.

Disclosed herein is a pulse generator device for trigeminal nerve stimulation.

A nerve stimulator is provided, and in particular a non-invasive nerve stimulator for peripheral nerves, such as the ulnar and/or median nerves. The stimulator may be fitted proximate the left and/or right arm, wrist or hand of a user, to stimulate the median and/or ulnar nerves using electricity, light, sound, magnetic field, vibration or pressure, or any combination of these stimuli. The apparatus takes the form of a standalone band or clasp, or forms part of a fitness tracker band, watch or smartwatch. The nerve stimulator comprises a stimulus generator, to generate any or a combination of the stimuli mentioned above, an applicator to apply the generated stimulus to the arm, wrist or hand of the user, and a controller to control the operation of the stimulus generator and the applicator. In some cases, for stimuli such as light, sound, magnetic field, vibration or pressure, the generator and applicator may be combined into a single component.

An EMS garment for enclosing a body part of a trainee during an EMS training session includes textile area sections and EMS electrodes for transmitting EMS stimuli from a connected EMS stimulation generating unit to the body part, which EMS electrodes are each connected to one of the textile area sections and are each formed as a pad or a textile structure section having an electrically conductive layer so as to flexibly snuggle to the body part. The textile area sections facing the front side and the rear side are connected along a height direction by stretch sections facing both flanks of the body part, each of which consists of a rubber-elastic, elastomeric solid material.

A wearable device for facilitating neurophysiological treatment of a patient harboring an implanted neural stimulator is provided. The wearable device includes a transmitting antenna configured to accept one or more input signals and to transmit one or more electromagnetic signals to a neural stimulator that is implanted in a patient's body. The wearable device further includes a control circuitry configured to provide the one or more input signals to the transmitting antenna. The wearable device further includes a battery that provides electrical power to at least the control circuitry. The wearable device is configured to be worn outside the patient's body.

A electrical treatment device (100) includes a band-like member (20), a first electrode portion (41), a second electrode portion (42), a first mark portion (31) configured to be aligned with a specific position of a right lower limb when the band-like member (20) is wrapped around the right lower limb such that the first electrode portion (41) is guided to a first target position and the second electrode portion (42) is guided to a second target position, and a second mark portion (32) configured to be aligned with a specific position of a left lower limb when the band-like member (20) is wrapped around the left lower limb such that the first electrode portion (41) is guided to a third target position and the second electrode portion (42) is guided to a fourth target position.

Apparatus for transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation in a user, the apparatus comprising: a stimulator for electrically stimulating at least one nerve with at least one stimulation pulse; a controller connected to the stimulator for controlling at least one characteristic of the at least one stimulation pulse; an analyzer for identifying the current and future presence of pain-altering patterns based on weather and/or environmental factors; and a processor connected to the analyzer and the controller for modulating the at least one characteristic of the at least one stimulation pulse according to the pain-altering patterns identified by the analyzer.

A body joint support device capable of abutting against at least one body joint and accommodating in configuration both to the bending and non-bending states of the body joint includes a covering structure, a control device, and at least one electrode pad unit and/or inflatable airbag. The covering structure can be worn to the body joint, the electrode pad unit is provided on the inner surface of the covering structure, and the control device is provided on the outer surface of the covering structure. The control device can transmit current to the electrode pad unit so that the electrode pad unit outputs current to stimulate and/or heat muscles. When a body joint moves, the force produced by the covering structure can press the electrode pad unit tightly against the skin at the body joint, so that the electrode pad unit does not become loose due to frequent body joint movement.
