Problems solved by technology

[0018] However, existing devices and methods suffer from a number of disadvantages, including, for example, a lack of ability to effectively treat disease or to up- or down-regulate afferent and / or efferent flow or affect both sympathetic and parasympathetic nerve activity in a coordinated manner
Previous devices were also prone to uncomfortable side effects, such as paresthesias, and could include buzzing, tingling, hoarseness, shortness of breath, voice changes during treatment, bradycardia, or other detectable and possible uncomfortable feeling
These uncomfortable side effects and paresthesias may limit patient compliance

Embodiment Construction

[0076] The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for providing electrical nerve stimulation therapy. A generally cylindrical interface member having a C-shaped cross-section fits the target portion of the patient's ear. At least one electrode on the periphery of the interface member contacts the target portion, and an electrical stimulation module coupled to the electrode applies pulsed electrical signals transcutaneously to neural structures adjacent to the target portion of the ear.

[0077] Various aspects and examples will now be fully described herein. These aspects and examples may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limiting; rather, these examples are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the subject matter to those skilled in the art personnel. All publications, patents and patent applications cited herein, whether supra or infra, are hereby incorporated...

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to devices and methods for stimulating peripheral nerves in a patient via electrical, optical, mechanical, or other stimulation, in order to change the balance between parasympathetic and sympathetic activity by selectively increasing or decreasing each of parasympathetic and sympathetic activity. In a particular application, the present disclosure relates to a device for transdermal stimulation of the vagus nerve (including the auricular branch) to selectively affect the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system to achieve the desired therapeutic effect ina human subject.

Description

[0001] related application [0002] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application Serial No. 62 / 525,151, filed June 26, 2017, and U.S. Provisional Application Serial No. 62 / 576,440, filed October 24, 2017, to the fullest extent permitted by law by reference method is incorporated herein in its entirety. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to the field of nerve stimulation for the treatment of one or more diseases, and to the field of stimulating peripheral nerves to achieve a therapeutic effect. The present invention includes methods and devices for providing transcutaneous electrical stimulation of a patient's vagus nerve through one or more structures of the patient's ear. More specifically, the present invention relates to methods for stimulating peripheral nerves in a patient by electrical, optical, mechanical, or other stimulation to alter parasympathetic and sympathetic activity by selectively increasing or decreasing each of the pa...
