| 20080208305 | APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR TREATING PULMONARY CONDITIONS - A method for treating a pulmonary condition in a subject includes one step of providing an implantable electrode assembly. The implantable electrode assembly includes a flexible member, at least one electrode operably secured to the flexible member, and an attachment mechanism for securing the at least one electrode to the flexible member. The implantable electrode assembly is implanted at a target site including an intraluminal location innervated by at least one nerve of the autonomic nervous system (ANS). The implantable electrode assembly is positioned at the target site such that the flexible member conforms to a portion of the inner surface of the target site, and the at least one electrode is positioned substantially adjacent the at least one nerve. Next, electric current is delivered to the at least one electrode to effect a change in the ANS of the subject. | 08-28-2008 |

| 20110029037 | METHODS OF TREATING MEDICAL CONDITIONS BY TRANSVASCULAR NEUROMODULATION OF THE AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM - The present invention is directed to a method for treating a gastrointestinal condition by transvascular neuromodulation of a target site of the autonomic nervous system and preferably a target site in communication with a sympathetic nerve chain. A method for treating a gastrointestinal condition via transvascular neuromodulation incorporating a closed-loop feedback system is also provided. | 02-03-2011 |
| 20110152974 | METHODS OF TREATING MEDICAL CONDITIONS BY NEUROMODULATION OF THE SYMPATHETIC NERVOUS SYSTEM - The present invention is directed to systems and methods for treating respiratory or pulmonary medical conditions by neuromodulation of a target site of the sympathetic nervous system and preferably a target site in communication with a sympathetic nerve chain. A system for treating a respiratory or pulmonary medical condition incorporating a closed-loop feedback system is also provided. | 06-23-2011 |

| 20090216287 | STIMULATION METHOD FOR THE SPHENOPALATINE GANGLIA, SPHENOPALATINE NERVE, OR VIDIAN NERVE FOR TREATMENT OF MEDICAL CONDITIONS - A method is provided for surgically implanting a first electrode and a second electrode on or proximate to at least one of the sphenopalatine ganglia, the sphenopalatine nerves, or the vidian nerves located on different sides of a patient's face. One step of the method includes inserting the first electrode into a coronoid notch located on one side of the patient's face. A second electrode is inserted into a coronoid notch located on the other side of the patient's face. The first and second electrodes are then advanced on or proximate to first and second locations on different sides of the patient's face, respectively. Each of the first and second locations includes at least one of the sphenopalatine ganglia, the sphenopalatine nerves, or the vidian nerves. | 08-27-2009 |
| 20090254147 | STIMULATION METHOD FOR THE SPHENOPALATINE GANGLIA, SPHENOPALATINE NERVE, OR VIDIAN NERVE FOR TREATMENT OF MEDICAL CONDITIONS - A method is provided for the suppression or prevention of pain, movement disorders, epilepsy, cerebrovascular diseases, autoimmune diseases, sleep disorders, autonomic disorders, urinary bladder disorders, abnormal metabolic states, disorders of the muscular system, and neuropsychiatric disorders in a patient. The method comprises positioning at least one electrode on or proximate to at least one of the patient's sphenopalatine ganglia (“SPG”), sphenopalatine nerves (“SPN”), or vidian nerves (“VN”), and activating the at least one electrode to apply an electrical signal to at least one of the SPG, SPN, or VN. In a further embodiment of the invention used to treat the same conditions, the electrode used is capable of dispensing a medication solution or analgesic which is applied via an electrode to at least one of the SPG, SPN, or VN. A method is also provided for surgically implanting an electrode on or proximate to at least one of the SPG, SPN, or VN of a patient. | 10-08-2009 |
