Transcutaneous irradiation device and application to the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases
The technology disclosed herein relates to a transcutaneous irradiation device having a top portion and a bottom portion. The top portion may include one or more transcutaneous irradiation modules configured to be arranged on a head of a user, the top transcutaneous irradiation modules including a top pulsed laser source. The bottom portion may include one or more transcutaneous irradiation modules configured to be arranged on an abdomen of the user, the top transcutaneous irradiation modules including a bottom pulsed laser source. A modulation frequency may be applied to the top and bottom irradiation modules such that the top and bottom pulse laser sources are subjected to a double pulse.
Bone conduction apparatus
A device for providing vestibular and somatosensory stimulation through bone conduction of sound waves to skeletal bones is provided in the form of a pad that is applied to or wrapped around the individual in treatment, which is comfortable in use and may contain particulate filler material capable of providing bone conduction stimulation adjacent to the location of a bone conduction transducer and expand the sound conduction site over a larger area. The device may be located beneath a pillow or mattress.
HEAD WEARABLE LIGHT THERAPY DEVICE
Systems and methods are described for treatment of neurological conditions in which transcranial illumination using infrared, near-infrared and/or red wavelengths of light are delivered into the brain of a patient using a portable head wearable device. Arrays of light emitters are simultaneously controlled to provide a selected power density and distribution during a therapeutic session to treat a condition of the patient. An external controller such as a touchscreen tablet or laptop computer can be used to select illumination parameters for each patient. The system can be used to provide treatment to children such as those having autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PHOTOBIOMODULATION-BASED ALTERNATIVE TO ELECTRICAL VAGUS NERVE STIMULATION AND DEEP BRAIN STIMULATION RELATED TO MOVEMENT DISORDERS
A self-administrable apparatus for performing non-invasive neurostimulation therapy of a living mammal on-demand, said self-administrable non-invasive neurostimulation apparatus comprising: one or more configured irradiation units comprising a portable hollow casing having fixed dimensions, a sized internal spatial volume and an external surface configuration suitable for application to a body, and a controller assembly able to control on-demand delivery of light energy from said configured irradiation units into an interior part of the body in-vivo.
MASK APPARATUS
An embodiment discloses a mask apparatus including a cover mask having a curvature corresponding to a shape of a face of a user and a plurality of light-emitting modules arranged in the cover mask to irradiate light to the face of the user.
LIGHT BASED THERAPY HELMET
A light based therapy helmet has a circuit board layer which is equipped with multiple lighting dots. Each of the multiple lighting dots respectively is a first, a second or a third light-emitting unit. The first, the second and the third light-emitting units respectively emit a light of a first, a second and a third light band which respectively include a wavelength of 660 nm, 940 nm and 1600 nm. A lower helmet body is provided with an accommodation space configured for a user's head to be accommodated directly. An upper helmet body is provided with an accommodation space that fits the circuit board layer. When the lower helmet body, the circuit board layer, and the upper helmet body fit together, the circuit board layer is fixed between the upper helmet body and the lower helmet body. A controller controls the on/off and the brightness of the multiple lighting dots.
PHOTOTHERAPEUTIC TREATMENT OF SKIN DISORDERS
Methods of treating skin disorders are disclosed. The methods involve impinging light having a first peak wavelength on the tissue at a first radiant flux, wherein the first peak wavelength and the first radiant flux is selected to provide an anti-inflammatory effect, and impinging light having a second peak wavelength on the tissue at a second radiant flux, wherein the second peak wavelength and the second radiant flux are selected to either stimulate enzymatic generation of nitric oxide to increase endogenous stores of nitric oxide or release nitric oxide from the endogenous stores are disclosed. Representative skin disorders include pruritus, psoriasis, acne, rosacea, and eczema, and the skin can include the scalp. The methods can reduce stinging and/or itching associated with the skin disorder. The anti-inflammatory wavelengths can be in the range of between about 650 and about 680 nm.
