Problems solved by technology

However, the following disadvantages can be seen: the skin tissue of the external auditory canal continues to produce cerumen, which is called earwax in colloquial terms.
But this is limited in its area and does not allow stimulation of areas determined in only one dimension and does not allow stimulation of parts of the pinna

Embodiment Construction

[0054] figure 1 An overview of the anatomy used to distinguish the pinna from the external auditory canal is given. The outer ear consists of two divisions: the pinna 1 and the external auditory canal 2. The anatomical boundary between the two units is the concha 3 , the entrance to the external auditory canal 2 .

[0055] The pinna has numerous anatomically known parts. For clarity see figure 2 . The important anatomical structures of the pinna are shown in this figure. Said structure becomes important when looking at the innervation of the pinna. The tragus 4 or its inner side is the only place on the pinna where the part of the nerve as the otic branch of the vagus nerve runs densely below the skin surface. These nerve parts are suitable for electrical nerve stimulation by means of the device according to the invention for therapeutic and diagnostic purposes.

Abstract

The invention relates to a device for transcutaneous application of a stimulus or for transcutaneous recording of a parameter to / from the skin surface of a vertebrate, in particular of a human being. In order in particular to make nerve stimulation efficient, ergonomically favourable and easy for the patient, the invention proposes that the device is designed such that it can be accommodated entirely within the pinna (external ear) of the vertebrate.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device for transdermally applying a stimulus to a skin surface of a vertebrate, especially a human, or for transcutaneously detecting a parameter of a skin surface of a vertebrate, especially a human. Background technique [0002] Devices of this type are especially commonly used in order to therapeutically electrically stimulate the vagus nerve to achieve medical effects. It is therefore known in devices for stimulating nerves or acupuncture points through the skin to invasively and non-invasively electrically Stimulating the nerve or the surrounding tissue, influencing the electrical or other properties of the nerve and thus the function of the nerve or tissue to be stimulated, the needle additionally stimulates electrically after being connected to the control unit. The purpose of this manipulation is meant to induce changes in psychological growth such as eliminating stress. [0003] Of particular scientific interest is...
