A method comprises generating, by an implantable stimulator, stimulation sessions at a duty cycle that is less than 0.05 and applying, by the implantable stimulator in accordance with the duty cycle, the stimulation sessions to a patient. The duty cycle is a ratio of T3 to T4. Each stimulation session included in the stimulation sessions has a duration of T3 minutes and occurs at a rate of once every T4 minutes. The implantable stimulator is powered by a primary battery located within the implantable stimulator and having an internal impedance greater than 5 ohms.

Methods and therapeutic devices with noninvasive means for improving brain function and treating senile dementia including Alzheimer's disease are described. The non-invasive means is selected from electrical stimulation, heat stimulation, IR (infrared) radiation or their combinations. In some embodiments, the method and device utilize electrical current passed through acupuncture sites on the human head to achieve desired therapeutical effects.

A device and a method for stimulating skin regeneration is described which allows exploiting the combined action of the surface vasculature (given by the action of the vacuum) and of the cellular regeneration (given by the electromagnetic field generated by a capacitive system) combined with the skin electrostimulation applied, in this case, so as to amplify the biological effect of the electromagnetic field.

A system for generating stimulations in relation to medicines, and meridians, organs and tissues of a human body includes a control device, a pulse examining device and a stimulation device. Based on a pulsation signal obtained from a user, the stimulation device obtains a meridian-related spectrum. Based on operation input to the control device, the stimulation device obtains an organ-tissue-related spectrum and a medication-related spectrum. The stimulation device obtains a stimulation spectrum by making a linear combination of these spectrums, and stimulates a sensory system of the user based on the stimulation spectrum.

A neck massaging device includes an elastic arm, a handle comprising first outer shell, comprising a connecting end and a free end opposite to the connecting end, and first inner shell buckled with the first outer shell, a connecting member connected the handle to the elastic arm, which is connected to the connecting end of the handle and buckled with the inner shell, an electrode assembly, and an electric pulse generating device electrically connected with the electrode assembly. The free end of the handle may swing with the connecting member as a pivot under the action of external force to drive the first inner shell to be separated from the connecting member.

A neck massaging device includes an elastic support, a silicone rubber base arranged on the elastic support. An electrode plate disposed on a side of the silicone rubber base facing away from the elastic support massages a neck of a wearer.

A sound treatment system includes an audio system for transmitting tones of predetermined frequencies through a plurality of outputs. A sound transmitting device is electrically connectable to one or more of the outputs, and includes a speaker for transmitting the tones received. The speaker is adjacent to crystal which is vibrationally responsive to the tones. A method of using the system includes generating tonal segments of predetermined duration, modulating the frequencies, and compiling these into an audio program. One or more sound transmitting devices are placed on desired locations of the body, and their inputs connected to corresponding outputs of the audio system. The generating step includes compiling selected predetermined frequencies into an audio program to generate the tonal segments, as well as modulating tones of one or more desired frequencies to generate the tonal segments.

Devices, systems and methods are provided for treating a disease or disorder in a patient. The methods incluce positioning a surface of a housing in contact with an outer skin surface of the patient and applying sufficient energy to an energy transmitter within the housing via a power supply to generate an electrical impulse at or near a vagus nerve of the patient. The the electrical impulse is sufficient to modulate fibers of the vagus nerve and treat the disease or disorder.

A P6 point electrostimulation device is provided that has a first band, a user interface housing, and a second band. The first band has a free end and is attached to the user interface housing at its other end. The user interface housing has an inner dorsum surface, an outer display surface, a first end that is attached to the first band, a second end that is attached to the second band, user controls, and electronic control circuitry, which includes a power source and pulse generation circuitry. The second band comprises a flexibly rigid curved section which comprises an inside curved surface, an outside curved surface and a pair of electrical conduits and a palmar section which comprises a flat inner surface that has a pair of electrodes, and an outer surface. The flexibly rigid curved section is attached to the user interface housing at one end and to the palmar section at the other end. Each electrical conduit is attached to an electrode at one end and to the electronic control circuitry at the opposite end and the flat inner surface of the palmar section faces the inner dorsum surface of the user interface housing.

Provided herein, in some embodiments, are methods that include electro stimulating at least one acupoint in a subject, isolating from a blood sample obtained from the subject cells that are immunocytochemically positive for CD 146 (CD146+), and administering to the subject a pharmaceutical composition of cells comprising non-cultured CD146+ stem cells. Also provided herein are pharmaceutical composition and kits comprising the non-cultured CD146+ stem cells.
