Embodiment Construction

[0020] figure 1 A device 1 for stimulating thermoreceptors located in the skin of a patient by thermal stimulation is schematically shown. The device 1 is in particular a photodynamic stimulator. The device 1 comprises a plurality of stimulation units 2 which irradiate the patient's skin with electromagnetic radiation. The wavelength range of the electromagnetic radiation emitted by the stimulation unit 2 can be adjusted. Furthermore, a control unit 3 for controlling the stimulation unit 2 is provided. The stimulation unit 2 and in particular also the control unit 3 are non-invasive units, that is to say they are located outside the patient's body during operation of the device 1 and are not surgically implanted in the patient's body. A plurality of stimulation units 2 enables temporally and spatially coordinated stimulation of different receiving areas of the skin by means of the individual stimulation units 2 .

Abstract

The invention relates to a device for the stimulation of thermal receptors in the skin of a patient by means of thermal stimuli. The device comprises a plurality of noninvasive stimulation units for irradiating the skin of the patient with electromagnetic radiation, wherein thermal stimuli are produced by absorption of the electromagnetic radiation in the skin of the patient and the wavelength range of the electromagnetic radiation emitted by the stimulation units can be adjusted. The device also comprises a control unit for controlling the stimulation units.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a device and method for stimulating thermoreceptors located in the skin of a patient by thermal stimulation. Background technique [0002] There are currently no satisfactory treatments for the many diseases in which increased neural synchronization develops, for example dysfunction that is particularly pronounced after stroke or irritable bowel syndrome. These disorders are characterized by disturbance or restriction of normal neural activity due to pathologically excessive synchrony in the nervous system and consequent pathologically increased cross-linking of related neural populations, and by instead establishing spatial-temporal changes in neural activity Pathological patterns on (e.g. in maladaptive cases). [0003] In these diseases specific neural populations, for example in the brain or in the ganglia of the gut, fire pathologically, often hypersynchronously. That is, a large number of nerves form synchronous...
