Embodiment Construction

[0022] One or more specific implementations are described below. In an effort to provide a concise description of these implementations, not all features of an actual implementation are described in the specification. It should be understood that in the development of any such actual implementation, as in any engineering or design project, a number of implementation-specific decisions must be made to achieve the developer's specific goals, such as complying with system-related and business-related constraints, which may vary by implementation. Furthermore, it should be appreciated that such a development effort might be complex and time consuming, but would nonetheless be a routine undertaking of design, fabrication, and manufacture for those of ordinary skill having the benefit of this disclosure.

[0023] Any example or description given herein should not in any way be taken as a restriction, limitation or express definition of any term or terms by which they are employed. ...

Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to techniques for precise positioning of energy application devices for neuromodulation therapy regimens. In one embodiment, a neuromodulation localization patch is applied to the skin of a patient. The energy application device is configured to be coupled to the frame of the neuromodulation positioning patch to position a transducer of the energy application device within the opening at a treatment location within the opening. In one embodiment, the frame is further configured to be coupled to a removable dock of an imaging probe that, when coupled to the removable dock and in turn the frame of the neuromodulation localization patch, is configured to acquire image data through the opening to identify or validate a treatment location.

Description

technical field [0001] The subject matter disclosed herein relates to techniques to support the administration of neuromodulation energy doses in a subject via the application of neuromodulation energy to elicit a target physiological outcome. In particular, the disclosed technology can be part of a repeated dose regimen, a self-administration regimen, and / or a neuromodulation therapy regimen at home. Background technique [0002] Neuromodulation has been used to treat a variety of clinical conditions. For example, electrical stimulation at various locations along the spinal cord has been used to treat chronic back pain. However, positioning electrodes at or near the target nerve is challenging. For example, such techniques may involve surgical placement of electrodes that deliver energy. Furthermore, specific tissue targeting via neuromodulation is challenging. Electrodes positioned at or near certain target nerves mediate neuromodulation by triggering action potentials...
