Problems solved by technology

However, ECT carries risks of memory and other cognitive side effects, considerable cost, and risks of anesthesia
[0005] Many of the above methods are invasive and can have considerable cost and side effects
In addition, despite numerous trials of medical or surgical treatments, a significant percentage of patients do not recover or achieve adequate durable remission from the disease or condition

Embodiment Construction

[0064] The present disclosure relates to devices configured to stimulate the sensory branch of the trigeminal nerve (trigeminal nerve stimulation or TNS) in the face and forehead. More specifically, disclosed herein is an external pulse generator or neurostimulator configured to stimulate the sensory components of the ophthalmic nerve and its branches, the infraorbital nerve and its branches, and the psychic nerve or its branches, including the supraorbital nerve, supraorbital nerve, and , infraorbital nerve, auricular temporal nerve, zygomatic temporal nerve, zygomatic orbital nerve, zygomaticofacial nerve, nasal nerve and subtrochlear nerve. Pulse generators can be used to treat various disorders, such as neurological disorders (as disclosed, for example, in U.S. Patent Application No. 12 / 898,675, entitled "Systems, Devices and Methods for the Treatment of Neurological Disorders and Conditions (for Systems, Devices, and Methods for Treatment of Neuropsychiatric Disorders)") ...

Abstract

Disclosed herein is a pulse generator device for trigeminal nerve stimulation. In one embodiment, the pulse generator device comprises a processor(s) configured to: produce pulses delivered to an electrode assembly for a therapy session(s) for a patient, log data from the therapy session(s) (where the data comprises impedance of the electrode assembly connected to the pulse generator and current amplitude of the pulses), determine an average current amplitude from the data, determine an average therapy impedance from the data, determine a charge capacity of a battery of the pulse generator prior to beginning a subsequent therapy session, determine whether the charge capacity of the battery is sufficient to complete the subsequent therapy session for a designated duration of time by using the average current amplitude and the average therapy impedance. Further the pulse generator device comprises a display configured to display a screen comprising a graphical user interface (GUI).

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates generally to external neurostimulator devices and methods of use thereof, and more particularly to external neurostimulator devices configured to stimulate the superficial (cutaneous) sensory branch of the trigeminal nerve. Background technique [0002] Surgical treatments currently used for certain medical conditions, such as epilepsy or other seizure-related conditions, may include stimulation of the nervous system through vagus nerve stimulation (VNS), which has been approved by the United States (US) Food and Drug Administration (FDA ) approval. In this method, stimulating electrodes are surgically implanted so that they make contact with the vagus nerve as they pass through the neck. In addition to anesthesia-related complications, potential infections, costs, and other adverse events associated with VNS, many subjects receiving VNS do not experience symptom relief, and there are no reliable predictors of an implant...
