摘要： A method of treating a subject in need thereof, is carried out by (a) administering said subject a therapeutic intervention (e.g., an active agent) in a treatment effective amount; and concurrently (b) administering said subject caloric vestibular stimulation in a treatment effective amount, said caloric vestibular stimulation administered so as to enhance the efficacy of said active agent. In some embodiments, the caloric vestibular stimulation is administered as an actively controlled time varying waveform.

摘要： In a cup-shaped, double-walled enclosure that holds a hot liquid for placement over a human ear to alleviate pressure and discomfort, this invention resides in one or more structures to ensure that the enclosure remains structurally stable or does not impart thermal discomfort to a user. Such improvements or modifications include one or more of the following, alone or in combination: a thermally insulating layer of material around the outside of the enclosure; a thermally insulating layer of material around the inside of the enclosure; a post in the enclosure terminating in a distal tip indicating a preferred maximum fill level; a thermometer strip in the enclosure indicating the temperature of the liquid placed in the enclosure; and wherein the enclosure may be constructed of a thermoplastic elastomeric material that does not melt or distort when using water or other liquid thermal media at temperatures up to 280° F.

摘要： The earmuff of the present invention comprises in combination: an adjustable temperature switch, location of a power supply such as a battery inside the earmuff housing, a top frame enhanced to provide a “head gripping” feature, earmuff pads constructed to conform to the ears that are not flat but have some concavity to assist in wearer's comfort and use when moving around. The inner muff is constructed of a soft-foam and further includes a slot that enables the concurrent use of ear phones. The heating element is a plate designed to conserve battery current with adjustable temperature and a circuit design focused on conserving battery current. The plastic frame provides a head gripping feature designed to eliminate unnecessary weight and to maximize air flow that will prevent sweat and moisture buildup around the ears.
