Noninvasive nerve stimulation system for headache treatment
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11944815B2) describes a system designed to alleviate headache symptoms through electrical stimulation therapy. The system includes a stimulator with an interface that contacts the patient's outer skin surface, transmitting electrical impulses transcutaneously to modulate a nerve. The system also features a downloadable software application for a mobile phone, allowing wireless control of the stimulator and customization of the therapy regimen, including the duration of the electrical signal generation, ranging from 5 to 30 minutes.
Moreover, the patent details a method for treating headaches using the system, involving the download of a software application onto a mobile phone to communicate with the stimulator. By positioning the stimulator's interface on the patient's skin, electrical impulses are transmitted to modulate a nerve, reducing headache symptoms. The method also includes wireless transmission of dosing information to the stimulator, controlling the duration of the electrical signal. Additionally, the method allows for remote data communication, energy transfer, and authorization to enable the stimulator's operation, providing a comprehensive approach to headache treatment through innovative technology.
