    摘要: An electrical stimulation device for modulating a blood-brain barrier (BBB) of a subject includes at least one electrode configured to delivery electrical stimulation to the subject to stimulate a sphenopalatine ganglion (SPG) of the subject, and a control unit in communication with the at least one electrode. The control unit generates a first electrical stimulation signal to the at least one electrode to apply a first electrical stimulation to the subject to stimulate a sphenopalatine ganglion (SPG) of the subject thereby increasing porosity of the BBB from an initial porosity to an increased porosity, and generate, after said first electrical stimulation signal, a second electrical stimulation signal to the at least one electrode to apply a second electrical stimulation to the subject to stimulate the SPG of the subject thereby decreasing porosity of the BBB from the increased porosity to a decreased porosity that is less than the increased porosity.

    摘要: One aspect of the present disclosure includes a delivery tool configured to deliver a neurostimulator into a pterygopalatine fossa of a subject. The neurostimulator can include a body connected to an integral stimulation lead having one or more stimulating electrodes. The delivery tool can comprise a handle, an elongated shaft extending from the handle, a hub portion, and a double barrel sheath. The hub portion can be located between the shaft and a spine member that extends axially away from the hub portion. The hub portion can be sized and dimensioned to releasably mate with the neurostimulator. The double barrel sheath can be connected to the spine member. A central lumen can extend through at least a portion of the shaft and the hub portion. The central lumen can be adapted to receive a lead ejector for selective deployment of the stimulation lead from the double barrel sheath.
