Concepts presented herein relate to an interface module that can be electrically coupled to an electrical stimulation generator, a radio frequency generator and an instrument. A selection module is coupled to the interface module and operates in a first mode to deliver electrical stimulation signals from the electrical stimulation generator to the instrument and in a second mode to deliver radio frequency signals from the radio frequency generator to the instrument.

A system for treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is described. The system includes an introducer needle having an elongated body. The introducer needle is configured to create an opening in a tongue of a patient for implantation of a lead for treating OSA. One or more electrically conductive areas are located on the elongated body. A medical device is configured to deliver a stimulation signal via the introducer needle through the one or more electrically conductive areas to the tongue of the patient to stimulate one or more motor points of a protrusor muscle within the tongue of the patient.

A human body enhanced training system including a smart garment, a control module, a plurality of electrodes and at least one sensor. The smart garment is suitable for being worn by a person. When the smart garment is worn by the person, the smart garment covers at least a portion of the person's body. The control module is mounted with respect to the smart garment. The plurality of electrodes is operably connected to the control module. The plurality of electrodes is capable of stimulating the person's muscles. The at least one sensor is operably connected to the control module. The at least one sensor is capable of collecting physiological data.

The invention is a system and a device for use in open or minimally invasive surgical procedures, such as a bone implant fixation procedure. The device is configured to perform various functions during a bone implant fixation procedure, including performing at least one of: penetration of a bone to form a hole or opening for receipt of a screw; neuromonitoring, in cooperation with a neuromonitoring device, of the hole during, or post-, formation of the hole so as to sense any nearby nerves adjacent to the hole that may be in the path of a screw, or otherwise affected, when a screw is placed within the hole; neurostimulation, in cooperation with a neuromonitoring device, of nerves adjacent to the hole during, or post-, formation of the hole; and measuring of a depth of the hole and providing a digital measurement of the depth to assist the surgeon in selecting the appropriate length of screw.

Embodiments treat constipation and fecal incontinence by affixing a patch externally on a dermis of a user adjacent to a tibial nerve of the user, the patch including a flexible substrate, a processor directly coupled to the substrate, and electrodes directly coupled to the substrate. The patch is then activated to initiate a treatment session, the activating including generating electrical stimuli via the electrodes that is directed to the tibial nerve.

An apparatus for monitoring neural response and/or providing treatment includes an electrical stimulator configured to apply electrical stimulation, and one or more processors configured to analyze stimulation response. The one or more processors can be further configured to operate the electrical stimulator, adjust the electrical stimulation, and determine one or more wound characteristics based at least in part on at least one of the electrical stimulation or the stimulation response, e.g. a movement of a patient, a color absorption characteristic, or other physiological responses. An indication of the one or more wound characteristics can be provided.

A system for infusing medication into a mammalian subject is provided. The system includes an injection system for controlling a flow of fluid from a fluid reservoir to a needle. A sensor is provided that detects a characteristic indicative of the fluid pressure in the needle. The injection system controls the flow of fluid to the needle in response to the characteristic detected by the sensor and the sensor continuously detects the characteristic as the needle is inserted into the subject. The system further includes a conductive element for providing electric nerve stimulation, wherein the system provides electric nerve stimulation in response to the sensor detecting a pressure exceeding an upper limit.

A personalized wearable device can detect muscle contractions, such as spasms, and provide vibrational energy that treats these muscle contractions.

Systems and methods for treating a patient having symptoms of restless legs syndrome (RLS) or Periodic Limb Movement Disorder (PLMD) using high-frequency stimulation by applying a high-frequency pulsed electrostimulation therapy signal to a peroneal nerve or a branch thereof, where the therapy signal is above a motor threshold of a muscle innervated by the peroneal nerve or branch thereof. Surface EMG (sEMG) response to neurostimulation can be used to evaluate patient responsivity to neurostimulation, or to evaluate neurostimulation efficacy, such as to compare various neurostimulation parameter settings and to select between such settings to meet or balance between one or more goals. The sEMG response can be obtained with the muscle at rest, or during muscle activation.
