US Patent:

20200289785, Sep 17, 2020

Filed:

Apr 1, 2020

Appl. No.:

16/837072

Inventors:

- Providence RI, US
Steven Metzger - Providence RI, US

Assignee:

Phoenix NeuroStim Therapeutics, LLC - Providence RI

International Classification:

A61M 21/00
A61N 1/36

Abstract:

The invention discloses methods and systems for modulation of the central nervous system and more particularly for modulation of brain oscillatory activity and the brain networks that give rise to it. The methods involve using one or more non-invasive stimuli, either alone or in combination, to increase, decrease, or otherwise modulate neural oscillations, the rhythmic and/or repetitive electrical activity generated spontaneously and in response to stimuli by neural tissue in the central nervous system. Various embodiments concern methods and devices for detecting sub-optimal or pathological neural oscillatory patterns, developing treatment protocols to modify the neural oscillations in a desired manner, introducing a non-invasive stimulus or stimuli through one or more sensory pathways to treat the conditions, and for adjusting the treatment protocol to optimize the therapeutic effect of the stimulus or stimuli.

Abstract:

Methods and apparatus for modulation of the central nervous system, and more particularly for modulation of brain oscillatory activity and the brain networks that give rise to it. The methods involve using one or more non-invasive stimuli, either alone or in combination, to increase, decrease, or otherwise modulate neural oscillations in the brain. Also described are methods and devices for detecting sub-optimal or pathological neural oscillatory patterns, developing treatment protocols to modify the neural oscillations in a desired manner, introducing a non-invasive stimulus or stimuli through one or more sensory pathways to treat the conditions, and adjusting the treatment protocol to improve the therapeutic effect of the stimulus or stimuli.
