| 20110166624 | DEVICE FOR THE TRANSDERMAL STIMULATION OF A NERVE OF THE HUMAN BODY - A device for transcutaneous stimulation of a nerve of the human body includes at least one stimulation electrode and at least one reference electrode for transcutaneous nerve stimulation, the at least one stimulation electrode and the at least one reference electrode being connected to a control unit and being able to be supplied with an electrical current from the latter, and the at least one stimulation electrode and the at least one reference electrode being arranged in or on a housing which is designed to be fitted on or in the human ear, wherein the housing has a bow-shaped extension piece designed to be inserted into the auditory canal, said bow-shaped extension piece matching the shape of the entrance to the auditory canal or of the external auditory canal, and with an electrode head which is arranged at the end of the bow-shaped extension piece and which has two contact points for the two electrodes. To make the nerve stimulation effective and to make it easier to manage for the patient, it is proposed, according to the invention, that the bow-shaped extension piece is designed as a stiff element, wherein the bow-shaped extension piece is a spring element or comprises such an element, which spring element is designed to generate an elastic contact force for pressing the electrode head onto a region of the auditory canal. | 07-07-2011 |
| 20100057154 | DEVICE AND METHOD FOR THE TRANSDERMAL STIMULATION OF A NERVE OF THE HUMAN BODY - The invention relates to a device for transdermal stimulation of a nerve of the human body, which device comprises at least one stimulation electrode and at least one reference electrode for transdermal nerve stimulation, the at least one stimulation electrode and the at least one reference electrode being connected to a control unit and being able to be supplied with an electrical current from the latter, and the at least one stimulation electrode and the at least one reference electrode being arranged in or on a housing which is designed to be fitted on or in the human ear. The invention further relates to a method for the transdermal stimulation of a nerve of the human body in particular of a part of the vagus nerve by applying an electrical stimulus via at least one stimulation electrode and at least one reference electrode, at least one of which is placed in contact with the skin surface of the inner face of the Tragus of the human ear. The invention further relates to transdermal stimulation of a part of the vagus nerve by electrical stimulation via the inner face of the Tragus of the human ear for the treatment and/or supportive therapy of a plurality of pathological conditions. | 03-04-2010 |
| 20090287035 | METHOD TO ENHANCE NEURAL TISSUE OPERATION - The invention relates to a method for modulation, augmentation and/or stimulation of neural tissue and/or neural tissue related functionality with stimulating neural tissue and/or neural tissue related functionality with stimuli by which neural activity related local perfusion changes, electro-neuro-chemical, biochemical, neural modulative or neuroplastical responses and/or alterations in ‘metabolism supply lines-neural tissue’ interaction processes in vertebrates can be triggered and/or influenced. | 11-19-2009 |
| 20080249594 | DEVICE FOR APPLYING A TRANSCUTANEOUS STIMULUS OR FOR TRANSCUTANEOUS MEASURING OF A PARAMETER - The invention relates to an apparatus for transcutaneous application of a stimulus or for transcutaneous measurement of a parameter on or from the skin surface of a vertebrate, in particular a human. The invention provides, in order to make the nerve stimulation in particular efficient, ergonomically favourable and easily manipulable for the patient, that the apparatus is designed so that it can be accommodated completely in the pinna (external ear) of the vertebrate. | 10-09-2008 |
