Abstract
A system for electrical stimulation of the salivary glands for the treatment of dry mouth is disclosed. In one embodiment, the system includes a headset with an electronic control module, placed on the back head, and a stimulating module, placed on the area to be stimulated. Both modules are connected by an elastic arm. The stimulating module provides one or more pairs of electrodes in contact with neuro-sensitive areas of a patient, and is anchored in the ear canal. The position of the electrodes is adjustable for optimized stimulation. The system may be operated by control bottoms that are part of the electronic control module or by a mobile device, such as a wireless remote control, a smartphone, or a tablet. A mobile device camera may be used for correcting the placement of the electrodes.
