Embodiment 1

[0137] This example shows the results of a pilot study completed in April 2017. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the use of the present invention on the frequency and intensity of headaches in human subjects.

[0138] Six subjects were enrolled in the New York City area with different headache conditions such as tension headaches, migraines, and TMJ (temporomandibular joint) pain. The study began with a four-week baseline period during which subjects Participants recorded the frequency and intensity of their headache symptoms. This was followed by a four-week treatment period during which subjects were instructed to use Halo on a daily basis TM Headband and app for 15 minutes, recording their pain symptoms and other usage experiences. Headache frequency was reported as the number of attacks per week. Headache intensity is reported subjectively on a standardized scale of 0-10 (see Loder et al., "Measuring pain intensity in headache trials: which scale ...

Embodiment 2

[0143] This example shows the results of an evaluation of a prototype mobility system of the invention implemented on human subjects. The subject was a 28-year-old American female in New York City with a history of recurrent headaches. The testing took place in three phases between December 2016 and March 2017. During the first period, the subject used various over-the-counter analgesics at recommended doses to manage headache symptoms (paragraphs 1 and 2). Conditions were self-assessed prior to drug administration according to a standard headache scale, and then qualitatively reassessed for relief. During the second phase, the subject was using the prototype Halo TM The analgesic was administered systematically for 5 minutes (paragraph 3). During the third phase, the subject used the prototype Halo alone in three segments TM System duration of 10 minutes (paragraphs 4-6). The results are shown in Table 2 below:

Abstract

Mobile systems and devices can employ surface electromyography (sEMG) technology and other sensing technologies for measuring muscle tension and managing chronic pain conditions. These systems and devices can sense and quantify excessive muscle tension and can facilitate management of excessive muscle tension and chronic pain through cognitive behavioral therapy, pharmacologic intervention, or a combination of both.

Description

Background technique [0001] Hypertonia has been identified as a major cause of chronic tension-type headaches, migraines, orofacial pain, and other pain conditions away from the head and neck, such as low back pain, chronic pelvic floor pain, fibromyalgia, and the like. The most common treatment regimen involves the use of pharmacological agents (or drugs, the term is used synonymously in the present invention). Studies have also shown that behavior modification therapies, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), biofeedback, and relaxation training, are effective in reducing or eliminating these muscle tone-related syndromes and the myriad other medical conditions associated with stress and anxiety, These include depression, anxiety, multiple sclerosis, high blood pressure, insomnia, irritable bowel syndrome, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and urinary incontinence, among others. Behavior-modifying treatment for these conditions has traditionally been d...
