Tumor treating fields (TTFields) can be delivered to a subject's body at higher field strengths by switching off one or more electrode elements that are overheating without switching off other electrode elements that are not overheating. This may be accomplished using a plurality of temperature sensors, with each of the temperature sensors positioned to sense the temperature at a respective electrode element; and a plurality of electrically controlled switches, each of which is wired to switch the current to an individual electrode element on or off. A controller input signals from the temperature sensors to determine the temperature at each of the electrode elements, and controls the state of the control input of each of the electrically controlled switches to selectively switch off the current or adjusted the duty cycle at any electrode element that is overheating.

Systems, devices, and methods for electrically stimulating peripheral nerve(s) to treat various disorders are disclosed, as well as signal processing systems and methods for enhancing diagnostic and therapeutic protocols relating to the same

Methods and systems for treating ALS and related motor neuron diseases using multi-site neuromodulation are disclosed.

A device for functional electrical stimulation, including a garment mountable on a user's body part, an assembly having a socket and an electrode in turn having electrode pads and a stimulator with a controlling mechanism for activating/deactivating stimulating electrical signals to be provided to at least some of the electrode pads. The garment defines a hollow area configured to receive the socket, the socket configured to house the stimulator. In use of the device, a first portion of the electrode is in contact with an inner surface of the garment, the electrode pads are in a fixed position with respect to the garment, and a second portion of the electrode is in contact with a surface of the socket for receiving the stimulating electrical signals delivered by the stimulator. A system may include the device and a sensor configured to be positioned on either user or in proximity thereto.

An implantable medical device is configured to receive an input that specifies a time domain allocation between two or more stored stimulation programs and to provide control signals corresponding to each of the two or more stimulation programs to stimulation circuitry to interleave the two or more stimulation programs in time according to the input. The time domain allocation may set a proportion of time during which each of the stimulation programs is active during repeating epochs. The time domain allocation may be set by a user to transition between configured stimulation programs or to specify stimulation that is based on two or more different stimulation programs. The time domain allocation may also be adjusted automatically to optimize an indication of an effectiveness of stimulation that is provided by the patient.

The present disclosure provides a neuromodulation method for treating the syndromes of a low urinary tract dysfunction. The neuromodulation method comprises attaching a first active electrode to a first patient's leg in the back of the knee area in proximity of a peroneal nerve of the first leg. Attaching a second active electrode to a second patient's leg in the back of the knee area in proximity of a peroneal nerve of the second leg. Attaching a grounding electrode to the patient's body. Generating electrical pulses by a pulse generator connected to the first, the second active electrode and a grounding electrode. Stimulating by the first and the second active electrodes the peroneal nerve of the first and the second leg and controlling via control unit a flow of the generated pulses to each of the first and second active electrode.

Methods for treating nocturia in a person are provided. The methods include assessing and identifying a person suffering from nocturia. A neurostimulator having a processor is connected to an electrical generator. The processor receives sensed data from the person and includes a sleep stimulation protocol. A determination is made as to whether the sensed data in cooperation with the sleep stimulation protocol indicates that a trigger event has occurred which defines a nocturia condition. When a trigger event has been determined, a therapy regimen provides electrical or magnetic stimulation to the leg of the person between the ankle and knee according to the sleep stimulation protocol.
