摘要:
A method is provided for neuromodulation to treat stroke. One step of the method includes recording an input waveform from a first site in the nervous system in a source subject. The first site is healthy or at least partially functioning. Next, an output waveform is applied to a second site in the nervous system of a target subject suffering from the stoke. The second site is diseased due to the stroke.
摘要:
Methods for neuromodulation using waveform signals. In certain embodiments, an input waveform is obtained from a signal source site in a source subject and an output waveform is applied to a target site in a target subject. The source subject is a human or animal and the signal source site is in the nervous system, including the brain. The source subject and target subject are the same subjects or different subjects. The output waveform is identical to the input waveform or derived from the input waveform. In some embodiments, the output waveform is modified in response to physiologic feedback. Also provided are systems for neuromodulation using waveform signals.

摘要:
Method of treating hemodynamic derangement and controlling the mobilization of splanchnic circulation. The method comprises applying a therapy signal to a celiac ganglion, a celiac plexus, a splanchnic nerve, or any combination thereof and adjusting the signal to effectuate treatment. The present invention also provides methods of treating hemodynamic derangement and controlling the mobilization of splanchnic circulation by transluminal modulation of the celiac ganglion, the celiac plexus, the splanchnic nerve.
摘要:
Methods of treating various medical conditions by neuromodulation of a target site of interhemispheric fibers. Such medical conditions include unilateral motor deficits, movement disorders, psychiatric disorders, speech or cognitive deficits associated with hemispheric lesions, visual deficits associated with hemispheric lesions, hereditary/genetic disorders, congenital malformations, infection disease, degenerative disorder, autoimmune disorders, and metabolic disorders. A method of providing recovery and rehabilitation from states of reduced consciousness by neuromodulating a target site of interhemispheric fibers is also provided.
摘要:
A minimally invasive intraluminal electrode assembly that includes a cannulated tube and a plurality of wires disposed within the cannulated tube. Each of the plurality of wires has one of a plurality of electrical contacts on a distal end thereof. The distal portion of the plurality of wires assumes a radially constrained configuration within the cannulated tube in a retracted position and a radially extended position outward of the cannulated tube in a deployed position. The electrode assembly further comprises a spring electrode connecting the plurality of electrical contacts to collectively form a substantially circular configuration in a deployed position.
摘要:
A system for treating medical conditions by neuromodulation of one or more target sites in the nervous system. In certain embodiments, at least one of the target sites is the medial thalamic region, including the intralaminar nucleus and the adjacent white and grey matter. In certain embodiments, where there is more than one target site, the other target sites is elsewhere in the nervous system, including the globus pallidus interna, subthalamic nucleus, corpus callosum, cerebellum, cerebral cortex (including the premotor cortex, motor cortex, and sensory cortex), ventral striatum, lateral thalamus, substantia nigra, and pedunculopontine nuclei. The medical conditions include movement disorders or improvement of movement function, stroke, neuropsychiatric or neuropsychologic disorders, neurodevelopmental disorders, and pain. Methods for treating medical conditions by neuromodulation of the intralaminar nuclei either alone or in combination with another target site(s) is also provided.

摘要:
Methods of treating various medical conditions by neuromodulation of target sites of a cerebello-thalamo-cortical pathway and/or a cortical-ponto-cerebellar pathway. Such medical conditions include unilateral motor deficits, movement disorders, psychiatric disorders, epilepsy, speech or cognitive deficits associated with hemispheric lesions, visual deficits associated with hemispheric lesions, learning disorders associated with hemispheric lesions, vertigo and/or dizziness, gait disturbances, hereditary/genetic disorders, congenital malformations, infectious disease, degenerative disorders, autoimmune disorders, and metabolic disorders. A method of enhancing memory, learning and/or cognitive capacity in a normal individual by stimulating a target site of a cerebello-thalamo-cortical pathway and/or a cortical-ponto-cerebellar pathway is also provided.
