A medical device and method used for patient temperature management, wherein the device is designed to cool the patient's head and blood flow to the head and neck including the two carotid and the two vertebral arteries of a patient after trauma in order to prevent inflammation and reduce swelling in the brain. It is portable with a rapid cooling capability feature, does not require an ICU setting, eliminates certain complications that could affect the patient otherwise, and can be quickly and easily placed on the patient with little training or expertise.

A system and method for treating spinal injuries comprising one or more cold pack bags placed on the spine after injury to minimize swelling. By adding cold packs to the spinal packaging process of spinal immobilization, the victim gains valuable time needed to get to a trauma center before swelling can cause secondary permanent damage.

The present application relates to systems and methods for altering temperature in a mammalian body. Optionally, the systems and methods can be used to lower or raise core body temperature of a mammalian subject. Optionally, the systems and methods can be used to lower or raise the temperature of glabrous skin of a mammalian subject.

Devices, systems, and methods are disclosed herein for treatment of a disease, disorder, or condition in a vertebrate subject. A device is provided that includes one or more cooling elements configured to be applied to one or more tissues of a vertebrate subject to modulate at least one activity of brown adipose tissue of the vertebrate subject, and a programmable controller configured to provide instructions to the one or more cooling elements in response to information regarding one or more physiological conditions of the vertebrate subject.

A medical cooling device for reducing the body core temperature of a patient and a method for operating the same are provided. The cooling process provided by the medical cooling device is based on the state or degree of shivering of the patient.

The present invention is a magnetic moxibustion neck protecting apparatus, including: a textile and multiple magnetic stripes fixed and distributed on the described textile; the multiple magnetic stripes are set based on the preset primary spacing; the described magnetic stripes include substrate and multiple magnets set on the stripes based on the preset secondary spacing; the described textile has a piece which is protruded outward from the center to form an arc and allow the apparatus to form fit around the neck. The magnetic moxibustion neck protecting apparatus provided by this utility model can conduct magnetotherapy with good efficacy.

A device is provided that includes one or more cooling elements configured to be applied to one or more tissues of a vertebrate subject to modulate at least one activity of brown adipose tissue of the vertebrate subject, and a programmable controller configured to provide instructions to the one or more cooling elements in response to information regarding one or more physiological conditions of the vertebrate subject.

A cooling device and methods of using the cooling device are described. The cooling device includes a flexible, elongated body member having a first end portion and a second end portion, or is adjustable with the first end portion and the second end portion attached, the elongated body member forming an elongated cavity extending substantially between the first end portion and the second end portion, the cavity having a first substance disposed within the cavity. The cooling device further includes at least one rupturable compartment contained within the cavity, the compartment having a second substance disposed within the compartment. The cooling device also includes fastening means disposed on at least one of the first end portion and the second end portion for detachably fastening the first end portion to the second end portion to secure the cooling device around a circumference of a body part.

A moist heat therapy compress for therapeutic treatment of a treated body part. The moist heat therapy compress includes a fluid-permeable shell, a flexible backing fastened to the shell to define an enclosure, and hydrophilic zeolite fill granules loosely contained within the enclosure. The moist heat therapy compress is exposed to a source of moisture to cause absorption of water into the hydrophilic zeolite, and the moisture is delivered from the hydrophilic zeolite through the fluid permeable shell to the treated body portion.

A device for heating a predetermined surface area of a human body, including but not limited to a person's wrist, neck and back, in accordance with the present invention includes a pouch for heating a predetermined surface area of a person's body; at least one heating element specified to heat the predetermined surface area of the person's body to a predetermined temperature; and a band or strap for securing the pouch to the predetermined surface area of the person's body, whereby, the pouch having at least one heating element inserted therein is secured upon the predetermined surface area of the person's body to ultimately heat the predetermined surface area to a predetermined temperature.
