BLOOD PRESSURE LOWERING TRAINING DEVICE
A blood pressure lowering training device comprises a head frame unit corresponding to a user's head shape, an audio stimulation unit for broadcasting binaural beats with frequency following response to both ears of the user, a display unit including a display module for displaying a virtual image and blood pressure information and a blood pressure measurement module for measuring blood pressure, and a control unit electrically connected with the audio stimulation unit and the display unit, so that the hypertensive patient can perform a variety of adjustable blood pressure lowering training in one use process, and effectively improve the use intention of the hypertensive patient.
Sound therapy systems and methods for recalibrating the body's electromagnetic field
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.
Auricular peripheral nerve field stimulator and method of operating same
An auricular peripheral nerve field stimulator includes at least one therapy electrode configured for percutaneous insertion into an auricle of a human ear near at least one neurovascular bundle, and an electrical stimulation device electrically coupled to the at least one therapy electrode, the electrical stimulation device programmed to generate and deliver electrical stimulation signals, with defined stimulation parameters, to the percutaneously inserted at least one therapy electrode to stimulate at least one auricular peripheral nerve field within the auricle, the defined stimulation parameters including a defined signal amplitude, a defined pulse frequency, a defined pulse width, a defined duty cycle and a defined stimulation signal duration.
Therapeutic use of electroacupuncture-induced mesenchymal stem cells
Stimulation using EA of LI-4, LI-11, GV-14 and GV-20 in humans, horses, and rodents results in mobilization of MSCs into systemic circulation. Methods are provided for increasing mesenchymal stem cells in the circulating blood of a mammal by contacting acupuncture points LI-4, LI-11, GV-14, and GV-20 of the mammal with a therapeutically effective amount of EA stimulation to mobilize MSCs into the circulating blood of the mammal. Methods for treating damaged tissue, specifically damaged tendons are also provided. Isolated mesenchymal stem cells made according to these methods, methods of isolated them, and stem cell banks that store them are also provided.
SOLE WITH INTEGRATED MASSAGE APPARATUS
A massage apparatus and system are herein disclosed. The massage apparatus is embedded in a sole or insole of a shoe and includes a controller, massage pads, and a battery. The controller communicates with a remote controller to selectively activate the massage pads. The present invention allows for customizable massaging at reflexology regions of a user's foot.
Medical Puncture Device
The present invention relates to an advancement in a medical puncture device. The assembly is in the form of a skin and/or tissue puncturing device which includes a piercing member and a lower end with attached conductive wire designed to be inserted into a grounding port. This device passes the body's own excess voltage through the specific area being punctured simultaneous to the puncturing. It also simultaneously passes the earths ions through the same point of contact/penetration.
Method and device for improving brain function
Methods and therapeutic devices with noninvasive means for improving brain function and treating senile dementia including Alzheimer’s disease are described. The noninvasive 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.
Medical Therapeutic Device
The present disclosure relates to the field of medicine and discloses a medical therapeutic device for monitoring and treating medical condition of patients. The device comprises an input unit, a plurality of sensors, a control unit, a waveform generator unit, and a coupling means. The input unit receives at least one input from a user. The sensors monitor a plurality of predetermined parameters associated with the health of a patient generate detection signals based on the monitored parameters. The control unit selects a program based on the input and the detection signals. The waveform generator unit generates a therapeutic signal of pre-determined values of at least one of voltage, current, and frequency based on the selected program for facilitating treatment of medical condition corresponding to the selected program.
DEVICES, SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR TREATING PAIN WITH ELECTRICAL STIMULATION
Devices, systems and methods are provided for treating migraine headaches and other conditions by non-invasive electrical stimulation of nerves and other tissue. A hand-held device includes a housing with a controller having a signal generator, an electrode for delivering electrical signals, and a conductive surface configured as a return path for the electrical signals. In certain implementations, the electrode is repositionable with respect to the housing. The patient can self-apply the hand-held device by pressing it against areas in need of pain relief. The device may include a pressure-sensitive gating switch to control delivery of the stimulation therapy. In certain embodiments, the electrode is a rollerball electrode. The device may include a chamber for retaining and dispensing conductive gel to the therapy site. In certain approaches, the device includes an electrode support for coupling an electrical stimulation system to the head for hands-free electrical stimulation therapy.
Devices and methods for the treatment of substance use disorders
In an illustrative embodiment, methods and systems for attenuating effect(s) associated with reduction or cessation of substance use by an individual include providing a neurostimulation delivery system including a neurostimulation device having a first portion including a first electrode configured to electrically stimulate auricular branch(es) of the vagus nerve, and a second portion including a second electrode configured to electrically stimulate branch(es) of the auriculotemporal nerve, and a pulse generator including circuitry configured to deliver therapeutic stimulation pulses to the first and second electrodes. Methods and systems include positioning the neurostimulation device for administration of the neurostimulation treatment, whereby the first electrode is disposed on, over or adjacent to auricular branch(es) of the vagus nerve, and the second electrode is disposed on, over or adjacent to branch(es) of the auriculotemporal nerve, and administering the neurostimulation treatment.
