摘要： The present disclosure provides a closed-loop DBS system and method for regulating motor symptoms of a subject. The DBS system comprises: neural electrodes for being implanted in deep brain nuclei of the subject and a closed-loop stimulation generator in communication with the neural electrodes. The stimulation generator includes: a data acquisition unit configured to receive the LFP signals transmitted from the neural electrodes and convert the LFP signals to LFP data; a processing unit in communication configured to analyze the LFP data to determine presence of abnormal beta band oscillation and generate a DBS signal upon determining presence of abnormal beta band oscillation; and a pulse generation unit configured to generate, in response to the DBS signal, the DBS pulses to the deep brain nuclei through the neural electrodes. The provided system and method can save stimulation time and avoid adverse side effects of continuous stimulation while maintaining treatment efficacy.

摘要： Methods for treating medical disorders, such as migraine or other primary headaches, or fibromyalgia, by electrical stimulation of a nerve. The method comprises applying a first stimulus to a patient having a medical condition and measuring a first baseline physiological response from the patient. An electrical impulse is applied to a nerve within the patient and second stimulus is applied to the patient. A second physiological response evoked by the second stimulus is measured and compared to the first baseline physiological response. The methods may be used to optimize the placement of a stimulator, to test whether a patient is a suitable candidate for treatment using nerve stimulation, and/or to select the stimulation parameters that optimize acute or chronic treatment.

摘要： Embodiments presented herein are generally directed to techniques for the transfer of isochronous stimulation data over a standardized isochronous audio or data link between components of an implantable medical device system. More specifically, as described further below, a first component is configured to generate dynamic stimulation data based on one or more received sound signals. The first component is configured to obtain static configuration data and to encode the dynamic stimulation data and the static configuration data into a series of isochronous wireless packets. The first component is configured to transmit the series of wireless packets over an isochronous wireless channel to a second component of the implantable medical device system.

摘要： Described here are devices, systems, and methods for treating one or more conditions, such as allergic rhinitis, non-allergic rhinitis, nasal congestion, ocular allergy, and/or symptoms associated with these conditions, by providing stimulation to nasal or sinus tissue. In some variations, the handheld devices may have a stimulator body and a stimulator probe having one or more nasal insertion prongs, and the nasal insertion prongs may be configured to deliver an electrical stimulus to the tissue.
