A device for the transcutaneous electrical stimulation of the trigeminal nerve is provided. The device has an elongated symmetrical support with at least one electrode pair, and the support can be applied on a person's forehead in the supraorbital region to cover the afferent paths of the supratrochlear and supraorbital nerves of the ophthalmic branch of the trigeminal nerve. Each electrode pair contacts a self-adhesive conductive gel that at least partially covers one surface of the support for attaching the support to the forehead to be applied to two lateral zones with the exception of an insulating central zone. Each lateral zone has one electrode of the electrode pair, an electric circuit for supplying to the electrode pair electric pulses that have a predefined intensity, and a measurement means for measuring the intensity of the supplied pulses that is connected to the electric circuit.

Device for the transcutaneous electrical stimulation of the trigeminal nerve

The present invention provides a device for the transcutaneous electrical stimulation of the trigeminal nerve. The device comprises an elongated symmetrical support comprising at least one electrode pair, said support being suitable to be applied on the forehead of a person's face in the supraorbital region thereby covering the afferent paths of the supratrochlear and supraorbital nerves of the ophthalmic branch of the trigeminal nerve; each electrode pair being in contact with a self-adhesive conductive gel, said conductive gel covering at least partially one surface of the support for attaching said support to the forehead and being applied to two lateral zones with the exception of an insulating central zone, whereby each lateral zone comprises one electrode of the electrode pair; at least one electric circuit for supplying to the electrode pair electric pulses having a predefined intensity, and at least one measurement means for measuring the intensity of the supplied pulses, said measurement means being connected to the electric circuit.

Electrical migraine treatment device

A housing for an electrostimulation device comprising a charger plug and a stimulation plug, designed to receive respectively a connector linked to a charger and a connector linked to a stimulation electrode, characterized in that it comprises a mobile locking element designed to alternately lock the charger plug or the stimulation plug.

Safety system for electrostimulation device

The present invention relates to a headband for use in neurostimulation made at least partly of elastic or stretch material comprising: a hole to be located directly on the rear part of the scalp of a user, said hole being sized to fit the inion or occipital protuberantia; at least two electrodes directly attached to the headband and positioned adjacent to and symmetric about said hole, designed so that to be applied on the right and left branch of the occipital nerve respectively, once the inion is put in correspondence with said hole by the user; a connector for connecting a wearable neurostimulator to the headband, said connector being located opposite to said hole, once the headband is worn by the user and means coupled to the elastic or stretch material for electrically connecting said connector and each of said electrodes.

Headband for external occipital neurostimulation

The present invention relates to a method for inducing relaxation or sleep comprising the steps of:

Neurostimulation method to induce relaxation or sleep

A device is for the electrotherapeutic treatment of headaches such as tension headaches and migraines. An electrode support () has a shape and is size selected so as to allow, independently from the subject, the excitation of the afferent paths of the supratrochlear () and supraorbital () nerves of the ophthalmic branch () of the trigeminal nerve. An electrical circuit includes a programmable signal generator suitable for creating pulses of a duration of between 150 and 450 microseconds with a maximum increase in intensity of 0 to 20 milliamperes at a rate of less than or equal to 40 microamperes per second and with a step up in intensity not exceeding 50 microamperes.

Device for the electrotherapeutic treatment of tension headaches

An automated adaptive muscle stimulation system and method are disclosed. The stimulation system includes at least one electrode assembly adapted to deliver a muscle stimulation signal to the tissue of a user, a sensor system adapted to detect a muscle response, and an electrical stimulation device operably coupled to the at least on electrode assembly and the sensor system, the electrical stimulation device including a control system operable to automatically diagnose at least one characteristic of a muscle from the detected muscle response and adjust at least one parameter of the muscle stimulation signal in response thereto to deliver an adjusted muscle stimulation signal. A dual mode muscle stimulation system adapted to accept first and second data sets and provide first and second levels of treatment data is also disclosed.

Automated adaptive muscle stimulation method and apparatus

The ultrasound therapeutic system of the present invention generally includes a generator unit, at least one transducer treatment head, and a programmable controller. The generator is in operable communication with the at least one transducer treatment head such that electric power outputted from the generator to the head is converted into acoustic power by the head. Re-programmable software at the controller generally controls all features and functions for the system. In particular, the controller calculates an initial optimal treatment dose, maintains effective acoustic power transmitted to the patient through the at least one treatment head, performs calibration procedures for the at least one treatment head, controls outputting for each supported treatment mode, and provides for various other features and functions.
