Abstract
A method is provided for stimulating a sphenopalatine ganglion (SPG) of a patient, the method including inserting a tube and an electrode mount into a nasal cavity of the patient and advancing the tube along a floor of the nasal cavity to near a posterior end of an inferior turbinate. One or more electrodes of the electrode mount are deployed superiorly away from the tube while the tube is disposed along the floor of the nasal cavity and the electrode mount is disposed within the nasal cavity, so as to bring at least one of the one or more electrodes into contact with a wall of the nasal cavity. A current configured to stimulate the SPG via the wall is applied to the one or more electrodes. Other embodiments are also described.
