SYSTEM FOR GENERATING STIMULATIONS IN RELATION TO MEDICINES, AND MERIDIANS, ORGANS AND TISSUES OF A HUMAN BODY
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.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR TREATING NAUSEA AND VOMITING
A wearable stimulator device can be used to treat nausea and vomiting resulting from pregnancy, gastroparesis, virtual reality use, motion sickness, chemotherapy, and post-surgical nausea and vomiting, or other conditions by stimulating the P6 point of a user's forearm. A method of treating nausea includes monitoring one or more physiological parameters of a user via a wearable device, for example a smartwatch. Based on the one or more physiological parameters, the P6 point of the user's forearm can be stimulated for a predetermined time, for example via vibrational stimulation effected via a smartwatch or other wearable device. Data regarding the user's physiological parameters, stimulation sessions, and user-provided input regarding treatment efficacy and user symptoms can be collected and analyzed at scale to develop improved treatment regimes, for example modifying stimulation waveforms and/or timing, and identifying physiological parameters useful for predicting the onset of nausea.
Trigger point dry needling in motion and method of use
A method is provided for a novel application of trigger point dry needling. A target tissue is identified based on the observation of a series of movement patterns performed by the patient. Once identified, a needle movement protocol is used to insert a needle into the target tissue to a myofascial trigger point during one or more movement patterns. The needle protocol is adjusted until a local twitch response is induced.
DEVICE, SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR FACILITATING BREATHING VIA SIMULATION OF LIMB MOVEMENT
A device, system and method for increasing air intake by a subject is described. The device includes a vibration motor and a control unit for controlling vibrational motion output by the vibration motor. The methods include positioning the vibration motor on one or more limbs of a subject, and stimulating nerves in the limbs via the generated vibrational motion, whereby the stimulated nerve signals the brain to increase breathing rate or air intake by the subject. Accordingly, embodiments of the device activate nerve fibers that carry kinesthetic cues from the limbs in a pattern that simulates normal limb motion, and thus triggers inherent reflexes that increase ventilation in response to such motion.
