Disclosed herein is a pulse generator device for trigeminal nerve stimulation. In one embodiment, the pulse generator device comprises a processor(s) configured to: produce pulses delivered to an electrode assembly for a therapy session(s) for a patient, log data from the therapy session(s) (where the data comprises impedance of the electrode assembly connected to the pulse generator and current amplitude of the pulses), determine an average current amplitude from the data, determine an average therapy impedance from the data, determine a charge capacity of a battery of the pulse generator prior to beginning a subsequent therapy session, determine whether the charge capacity of the battery is sufficient to complete the subsequent therapy session for a designated duration of time by using the average current amplitude and the average therapy impedance. Further the pulse generator device comprises a display configured to display a screen comprising a graphical user interface (GUI).

Illustrative methods and devices for providing stimulus to the eye to treat vision disorders. Systems and methods for feedback relating to the stimulus itself as well as the effect of such stimulus on the patient are provided. Various examples may include therapies for vision disorders that can progress to blindness, such as macular degeneration or other diseases and disease processes.

Systems and methods can be implemented in which an electromagnetic charge is used to strengthen, tone, and firm muscle tissues. For example, a magnetic muscle stimulation device may be provided that includes a processor and a device applicator having a housing and a coil positioned within in the housing. The processor may be configured to receive parameters for operation of the device applicator, and to cause, based on the received parameters, an alternating current to flow through the coil to generate a time-varying magnetic field that induces an integrated electric charge or electrical conductivity in a portion of tissue under a skin surface of a patient.

The present disclosure provides a method and a device for an activation of brain regions. The method comprises attaching a first active electrode to a first leg of a person in the back of the knee area in an expected location of a peroneal nerve of the first leg and attaching a grounding electrode to the person. Generating electrical pulses by a pulse generator connected to the first active electrode and the grounding electrode. Stimulating by the first active electrodes the peroneal nerve of the first leg, activating the brain regions via the stimulation and controlling via a control unit a flow of the generated pulses to the first electrode.

A terminal device includes: a treatment content setting unit that sets a first treatment content performed by a first electrical treatment device and a second treatment content performed by a second electrical treatment device; and a treatment instruction unit that instructs the first electrical treatment device and the second electrical treatment device to treat a user in accordance with the first treatment content and the second treatment content. The treatment content setting unit swaps the first treatment content and the second treatment content in accordance with a preset instruction. The treatment instruction unit, when the first treatment content and the second treatment content are swapped, instructs the first electrical treatment device and the second electrical treatment device to treat the user in accordance with the first treatment content and the second treatment content, which have been swapped.

Devices, systems and methods are disclosed that allow a patient to self-treat a medical condition, such as migraine headache, by electrical non-invasive stimulation of a nerve, such as the vagus nerve. A nerve stimulator is configured for coupling to a mobile device configured to receive a wireless signal, such as a mobile phone. The stimulator is further configured to generate an electrical impulse and to transmit the electrical impulse through one or more electrodes and the outer skin surface of the patient to modulate a nerve within the patient.

A method for screening a patient suffering from a urinary dysfunction for determining whether a patient is a viable candidate for therapy through the use of a neurostimulator. The neurostimulator is placed on the patient's skin and is operationally activated to transmit electrical or magnetic signals to a target nerve during therapy sessions held over an assessment time interval. During the therapy sessions, the patient provides therapeutic responses to the electrical or magnetic signals during the therapy sessions. Based upon the patient's therapeutic responses a determination is made to either implant the neurostimulator in the patient's body or to perform an alternative procedure.

A computer-implemented method to determine placement of transducers on a subject's body, the method including: selecting a plurality of intersecting line segment pairs on an image of the subject's body, each of the line segment pairs intersecting in a region of the image corresponding to a tumor in the subject's body, each of the line segment pairs corresponding to locations to place the transducers on the subject's body; determining a pair value for each of the intersecting line segment pairs, each pair value based on a length of each line segment of the corresponding intersecting line segment pair; selecting one or more intersecting line segment pairs based on the pair values to obtain one or more selected intersecting line segment pairs; and outputting the locations to place the transducers on the subject's body corresponding to the one or more selected intersecting line segment pairs.

Apparatus (30) for detecting motion of a device (1) for electrical stimulation of a subject is described. The apparatus (30) comprises a motion detector (2) to detect the motion of the device (1) and generate a motion output signal in response to the detected motion. The motion output signal is indicative of the amount of detected motion. A processor (21) is coupled to the motion detector (20). The processor (21) receives (72) the motion output signal from the motion detector (20) and generates a first processor output signal in response to the received motion output signal. An output device (14, 26) is coupled to the processor (21). The output device (14, 26) receives the first processor output signal from the processor (21) and generates a first output signal in response to the received first processor output signal. The processor (21) generates the first processor output signal if either: (i) the received motion output signal is greater than a threshold; or (ii) the received motion output signal is less than a threshold.

The present invention relates to a treatment apparatus and a method of controlling the same, and provides a treatment apparatus including an insertion unit formed in such a way as to be inserted into a tissue through a tissue surface, a bending sensing unit sensing bending of the insertion unit occurring during insertion, and a controller controlling the insertion operation of the insertion unit based on information sensed by the bending sensing unit, and a method of controlling the same. In accordance with the present invention, there is an advantage in that a treatment effect can be improved because treatment can be performed in the state in which the insertion unit has been inserted into an accurate target location.
