This patent relates to the field of peripheral sensorimotor stimulation for the relief of symptoms and physical signs of distress including pain and anxiety and more specifically to addiction withdrawal. Peripheral stimulation of mechanoreceptors has been showed in a unique amplitude and frequency range to induce central effects of release of dopamine with a prolonged duration beyond stimulation in a model of addiction. Such stimulation can serve as an effective bridge during withdrawal from known addicting substances, including chemicals and behaviors, thus mitigating symptoms and potentially facilitating the cessation of drugs or substance seeking behavior. Interferential beat frequencies can be induced into the body using separately located sources of vibration to localize maxima and minima of stimulation. A conforming seat consisting of two separately driven halves induces a traveling wave due to interference or formation of beat frequencies which are driven in the therapeutic range to mitigate the symptoms and signs of withdrawal. Further, the beat frequencies can be monitored by a transducer to assure compliance of a treatment regimen and as a trigger pattern for focused exercises.

A cryotherapy device that enables the applicator to massage a biological surface with targeted precision using a sphere of ice attached to a handle and an insulating mold. The device allows for the filling and freezing of water forming a spherical ice form, as well as protection for the applicator's hands and fingers from exposure to the ice. It is comprised of three components: a handle for gripping the device, which is anchored into the spherical ice form, and two sub adjacent hemispherical molds, which seal together in order to contain water that is frozen into a spherical ice form. One hemispherical flexible mold is sub adjacent to the handle, and also serves to provide insulation for the applicator's fingers. The other hemispherical mold possesses rigid protrusions that enable the device to stand vertically on a flat surface. After the water is frozen within the device, this third component is detached from the other two components in order to expose the spherical ice form for application of cryotherapy massage to a biological surface.

According to some embodiments, a device configured for self-administered therapy comprises at least two base members, each base member configured to be secured to a surface for mounting the device of said surface, a shaft configured to secure to the at least two base members and extend between the at least two base members, and at least one therapy member configured to be secured relative to the shaft, wherein the at least one therapy member is configured to rotate relative to the shaft during use, wherein the at least one therapy member is configured to be contacted by a user and configured to rotate during use.

According to some embodiments, a method of promoting hair growth or hair stimulation in a subject comprises applying vacuum or suction using a handpiece assembly along a targeted portion of the subject's skin surface where hair growth or hair stimulation is desired and providing at least one treatment material to said targeted portion of the subject's skin surface, wherein the application of vacuum or suction helps promote hair growth or stimulate hair.

A skin treatment device includes a roller disposed about a rotational axis, with a plurality of flexible, compressive skin contact elements distributed circumferentially about the roller. Compressive elements include a first longitudinal section coupled to the roller, a second longitudinal section with a radially outer skin contact surface extending opposite the first longitudinal section, and a transverse section with one or more web members connecting the first and second longitudinal sections at an angle. The angles of the web members are adapted to generate lateral displacement of the contact surfaces in response to a compressive load. The lateral displacements of adjacent pairs of contact surfaces are defined in opposite directions, parallel and antiparallel to the rotational axis, in order to provide an elastic stretching treatment to the skin. Electrodes can be disposed adjacent the roller, on the housing or between adjacent contact surfaces, in order to provide a current treatment.
