This invention relates to a ceramic module for assembly into a therapeutic device for treating a human or animal body with irradiation of far infrared radiation and low dose ionizing radiation based on radiation hormesis effect. More specifically, the invention relates to a ceramic module that simultaneously emits far infrared radiation within 3-16 μm wavelength spectrum and ionizing radiation at a specific dose rate in the range of 0.1-11 μSv/h (micro-Sieverts per hour). Said ceramic module may be used alone or serve as components of a therapeutic device for increasing physiologic performance, immune competence, health, and mean lifespan of human or animal.

In particular, described herein are methods, compositions, phototherapy dressings for use with phototherapy UV light applicators (sources) and phototherapy UV light applicators to treat skin disorders such as psoriasis.

Various types of low level laser therapy (LLLT) wrap devices, methods of use, and a system comprising a mobile application, for the treatment of pain from musculoskeletal injuries or medical conditions, and to capture “patient's vitals”. Each wrap is fitted to a specific body part (e.g. knee), lightweight, portable so that it is wearable beneath clothing; and with a battery-powered electrical circuit embedded within the wrap, comprising: a plurality of laser diodes to treat surface and/or deep tissue pain; sensors (e.g. safety and/or patient vital sign monitoring); and a wireless transceiver for transmitting data (sensor and patient pain levels) to a mobile application. The wrap may also function as an orthopedic support; and is pre-calibrated for a specific duration to deliver a clinical strength dosage from 630 nm to 904 nm that is specific to the medical disorder and/or the user anatomical area, with an automatic shut-off after dose delivery.

A phototherapy device including: an irradiation probe for radiating irradiation light toward a living body; a probe fixing unit into which the irradiation probe is inserted and at the same time fixed on a living body; an observation module placed on the probe fixing unit and provided with an observation means for observing an irradiation site irradiated with irradiation light which is radiated to the living body; and a moving means capable of moving the observation module to a space where the irradiation probe is to be placed in the probe fixing unit during observation of the irradiation site.

In one instance, a recovery system to assist an athlete with recovery is presented that includes a battery-operated, flexible wrap that applies heat and optionally pneumatic pressure while utilizing both conductive and radiant heat in varying proportions according to a desired pattern. Optionally, at least one pneumatic bladder on the flexible wrap applies the pneumatic pressure to the user. The recovery system has a control unit that ramps the temperature applied before leveling at a target temperature. Other systems and devices are presented.

A urinary control system for controlling urination has a first light source configured to selectively apply a first light and a second light to a bladder muscle and a second light source configured to selectively apply the first light and the second light to the urethral sphincter. A first optogene is expressed to the bladder muscle and the urethral sphincter, and a second optogene is expressed to the bladder muscle and the urethral sphincter, the first optogene contracts muscles by depolarizing membrane potential when the first light is applied, the second optogene relaxes muscles by depolarizing membrane potential when the second light is applied, and the contraction and relaxation of the bladder muscle and the urethral sphincter are achieved counteractively via photostimulation by the first light and the second light, respectively, so as to control urination.

A multi-functional airbag comprises a main body, a front side of the main body is provided with an opening, a rear side of the main body opposite to the opening is provided with a functional cavity to install a functional assembly, a left air chamber and a right air chamber communicated with each other are symmetrically configured at two sides of the main body, and the functional assembly is installed in the functional cavity. While in use, the air chambers are inflated, as a result the main body is inflated to enable to clamp two sides of the human neck; while not in use, the air chambers are deflated to reduce the volume to make it portable. Meanwhile, massage functioning members are configured to massage the acupuncture points by vibration therapy, pulse therapy, heat therapy, infrared light therapy, and/or magnet therapy, and the therapy effect is obvious.

An acupuncture stimulation system comprises a skin overlaying component and a strap having hook-and-loop fastener material, the strap can be wrapped around the skin overlaying component to snugly secure a portion of the system. The skin overlaying component includes: a first electromagnetic form for providing electromagnetic stimulation to a first acupuncture point “Spleen 10”, a second electromagnetic form for providing electromagnetic stimulation to a second acupuncture point “Heting (S 156)”, a third electromagnetic form for providing electromagnetic stimulation to a third acupuncture point “Stomach 34”, a fourth electromagnetic form for providing electromagnetic stimulation to a fourth acupuncture point “Hsiyen (S 145)”, a fifth electromagnetic form for providing electromagnetic stimulation to a fifth acupuncture point “Stomach 35”, and a sixth electromagnetic form for providing electromagnetic stimulation to a sixth acupuncture point “Bladder 40”, to achieve analgesia, cartilage repair and regeneration in the knee joint.

A stomatitis treatment device which is equipped with a light emitting means inside a housing to enable inflammations on the roof of the mouth and the upper side of the tongue to be treated, and to which a coupling module is attached to allow inflammations occurring on the lower side of the bottom of the mouth, etc. to be treated, is proposed. The stomatitis treatment device allows the roof of the mouth, the tongue, and the bottom of the mouth to be simultaneously irradiated with light for treatment by attaching and detaching the coupling module to and from the housing having the cell regeneration lamp therein, and thus can be used by patients having severe stomatitis with multiple lesions.

Disclosed is a body-wearable apparatus for treating pain by a principle of complex photo-biochemical actions. According to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided the body-wearable apparatus for treating pain by a principle of complex photo-biochemical actions including a body portion in which a plurality of transmission holes are formed so that light is transmitted therethrough, a circuit board disposed inside the body portion, a built-in battery disposed inside the body portion, a first light irradiating portion electrically connected to the circuit board and configured to irradiate blue light-emitting diode (LED) light through the transmission holes of the body portion, and a second light irradiating portion electrically connected to the circuit board and configured to irradiate low-level laser light through the transmission holes of the body portion, wherein each of the first and second light irradiating portions is provided to cause at least two or more photo-biochemical reactions among cell activation, cell regeneration, cell division, blood flow improvement, vasodilation, cell degradation, and nerve stimulation on tissue in a body part to be treated through simultaneous or alternate light output.
