A system for restoring muscle function to the lumbar spine to treat low back pain is provided. The system may include electrodes coupled to an implantable pulse generator (IPG), a handheld activator configured to transfer a stimulation command to the IPG, and an external programmer configured to transfer programming data to the IPG. The stimulation command directs the programmable controller to stimulate the tissue in accordance with the programming data. The system may include a software-based programming system run on a computer such that the treating physician may program and adjust stimulation parameters.

Some embodiments provide a system for external manipulation of magnetic nanoparticles in vasculature using a remotely placed magnetic field-generating stator. In one aspect, the systems and methods relate to the control of magnetic nanoparticles in a fluid medium using permanent magnet-based or electromagnetic field-generating stator sources. Such a system can be useful for increasing the diffusion of therapeutic agents in a fluid medium, such as a human circulatory system, which can result in substantial clearance of fluid obstructions, such as vascular occlusions, in a circulatory system resulting in increased blood flow.

A two-way diagnosis and treatment device capable of connecting blood pressure measurement comprises a power supply unit, a high-voltage diagnosis and treatment unit, an input unit, a microprocessor, a signal conversion unit, a signal transmission unit, an intelligent device, and a blood pressure measuring device, the intelligent device is connected to the signal transmission unit to obtain a diagnosis and treatment signal of the high-voltage diagnosis and treatment unit and is connected to the blood pressure measuring device to obtain a measurement signal, and has an application software for correspondingly processing the diagnosis and treatment signal and displaying a corresponding blood pressure on the intelligent device according to the measurement signal. The application software provides a usage advice on the input unit according to the blood pressure and the diagnosis and treatment signal. The input unit controls the high-voltage diagnosis and treatment unit to perform diagnosis and treatment.

During a period of lack of use, a person risks muscle atrophy and/or otherwise losing muscle strength/functionality. During such a period of lack of user, a photoceutical can be applied to the person’s muscle(s) through a photoceutical medical device to decrease the occurrence of these risks. The photoceutical is specially configured to reduce these risks and includes at least one of a pulsed light signal, a continuous light signal, and a super-pulsed light signal.

The invention provides an arrangement for improved healing or regeneration of connective tissues including a magnetic article capable of influencing the connective tissues of the area to be healed or regenerated when positioned appropriately. The magnetic article and created magnetic field improves healing or regeneration of the healing connective tissues by establishing a virtual scaffold for the alignment of molecules within the healing or regenerating connective tissues. The invention further relates to variants to the arrangement, the article, a dressing, and methods of use.

Provided is a massage module having an improved degree of freedom, and more particularly, to a massage module having an improved degree of freedom, which, when a force is applied to the massage module, may provide a safe massage to the body of a user by buffering the force. To this end, the massage module may include a massage part that provides a massage to the body of a user, a tilting part that is disposed on one side of the massage part and controls rotation of the massage part, and a height adjustment part that is connected to the tilting part and adjusts a height of the massage part, wherein the massage part includes at least one buffer part disposed at a portion of the massage part that is directly coupled to the tilting part.

The present invention is in the field of medical technology and relates to devices for preventing or alleviating snoring and apnea problems insofar as they can be attributed to what is known as snoring at the base of the tongue. In order to provide that they are easier and more comfortable to use and more effective than, for example, classic protrusion splints, but also do not cause the risk of a gag reflex, a connection system between the tongue and teeth is proposed that causes a retentive grab on the surface of the tongue by means of a rough surface facing the tongue, in particular by many small tips, which is characterized in that it contains a slide-on element for sliding onto several teeth on the left and right side of the upper jaw or the lower jaw, and comprises at least a respective one hook in its right- and left-sided molar areas or in its canine tooth areas, each for generating a form-fitting connection between the slide-on element and an undercut location on the respective row of teeth, with one such device being used in the upper jaw and one in the lower jaw, and permanent magnets located on the outside in housings (70) attract each other and hold the tongue firmly in place. Ridges (100) arranged equidistantly on the housings (70) allow a freely selectable, comfortable protrusion of the lower jaw.
