Abstract:
Systems and methods of the present disclosure are directed to systems and methods for treating cognitive dysfunction in a subject in need thereof. The system can include a light source and a speaker. A visual neural stimulation system provides, via the light source, visual stimulation having a first value of a first parameter. An auditory neural stimulation system provides, via the speaker, audio stimulation having a second value of the second parameter. A stimuli orchestration component selects, for a first time interval, one of the visual stimulation or the audio stimulation to vary based on a policy, selects, for the first time interval, the other of the visual stimulation or the audio stimulation to keep constant based on the policy, and provides causes the one of the visual neural stimulation system or the auditory neural stimulation system to vary the one of the visual stimulation or the audio stimulation.

Abstract:
A pressure applicating assembly (100, 200) for treatment of menstrual cramps and other discomfort; the apparatus comprising a pressure applicator apparatus (100) and a flexible strap (200). The pressure applicator apparatus (100) comprises a plurality of styluses (126, 136, 146) arranged in both a direction parallel (192) to the strap and a direction perpendicular (190) to the strap. The pressure applicator apparatus (100) is secured to a patient using the strap (200) in a manner to apply pressure to a tender location (450) on an interior region of a patient's calf (404). The applied pressure (100) can be employed to relieve the patient of menstrual discomfort by identifying the tender spot (450) by applying light pressure to a menstrual discomfort controlling pressure region (450). The identified tender spots (450) are considered the menstrual discomfort controlling pressure points. The plurality of styluses (126, 136, 146) applies a distributed pressure to the region (450) to ensure the tender spots are sufficiently addressed, thus relieving the patient of the discomfort.
