[0009] In addition, generating these electric fields can generate a lot of heat, which creates a need for effective cooling due to the fact that the stimulator must be placed very close to the patient

Embodiment Construction

[0054] Reference figure 1 In order to generate an asymmetric field for patient stimulation, the system 10 includes a stimulator 100 for stimulating one or more physiological structures of the patient, and the stimulator 100 is positioned adjacent or close to the patient 12. in figure 1 In the arrangement of the illustrated embodiment, in order to stimulate the neurological structure of the patient, the stimulator 100 can be positioned on the therapy application surface 102 adjacent to the head 14 of the patient. In this arrangement, the stimulator 100 can act as a deep nerve stimulator, a deep brain stimulator, or a combination of a deep nerve stimulator and a deep brain stimulator. However, in order to perform stimulation therapy on other physiological structures, the stimulator 100 can be positioned adjacent or close to any other part of the patient 12.

[0055] The stimulator 100 includes at least two coils hidden in its housing. The coils can be excited by an electric curre...

Abstract

An apparatus for providing deep nerve stimulation to a patient includes a housing for supporting deep nerve stimulation coils. The housing includes a wall with an outer surface for being presented toward the patient to apply the stimulation. A primary coil is supported in a primary chamber of the housing adjacent an inner surface of the wall, opposite the outer surface. Ribs are disposed between the primary coil and the inner surface and upon which the primary coil rests. The ribs define channels through which coolant can be directed to cool a bottom surface of the primary coil during use, the bottom surface of the primary coil being closest to the patient side wall. The primary coil is adapted when energized to produce a broad and deeply penetrating magnetic field capable of hitting a target area of the patient. The secondary coil is configured and arranged to, when energized, focus and shape the field produced by the primary coil so that we can maximize the field strength at the target deep nerve, while minimizing the field at near off-target sensitive areas.

Description

[0001] Related application [0002] This application claims the priority of U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 059,336 filed on October 3, 2014, the entire content of the subject matter of which is incorporated herein by reference. Technical field [0003] The present disclosure relates to deep nerve stimulation. More specifically, the present disclosure aims at a deep nerve stimulator with a coil design and advanced cooling components to generate an asymmetric field for deep nerve stimulation. Background technique [0004] The magnetic coil is used to perform non-invasive electromagnetic deep nerve stimulation therapy. Electromagnetic coils made of conductive materials (such as copper wires, copper tubes, or stranded wires) are used to perform stimulation therapy. Generally, the inductance of these coils can be in the range of a few μH to 20 μH, and can be cooled to avoid overheating, or not cooled. The coil is excited by a time-varying current pulse, in the form of a single pu...
