Benefits of technology

Effectively mitigates pain by relieving low-volume fluid accumulation within bones, addressing chronic pain conditions that are not responsive to conventional treatments, by normalizing bone environment and reducing nociception.

Problems solved by technology

Individuals with medical conditions often suffer from pain.
However, many chronic bone pain problems do not have clearly identifiable structural changes and hence are difficult to explain.
Increase in intraosseous pressure (i.e., pressure within a bone) due to chronic mechanical or metabolic influences can cause vague and diffuse pain symptoms that are not amenable to conventional surgical, interventional, or medication treatments.
Thus there exists an unmet need for methods and tools that can mitigate bone pain, especially pain that is not amenable to hitherto known surgical, interventional or medication treatments due to being generated by a process that may be difficult to identify.

Embodiment Construction

[0022]For the purposes of promoting an understanding of the principles of the disclosure, reference will now be made to the embodiments illustrated in the drawings and specific language will be used to describe the same. The drawings are not to scale and therefore should not to be construed as limiting.

[0023]Intraosseous pressure due to various degrees of intraosseous edema and fluid (vapor) pressure can result in the sensation of pain. Intraosseous pressure and the resulting sensation of pain may vary from bone structure to bone structure and may not be fully appreciated by imaging devices, i.e., the images may not reveal or indicate the cause of the pain. Even low-grade edema in enclosed places (such as the skull, sternum, transverse or spinous processes of vertebras, ribs, hand, ankle bones, etc.) may cause pain.

[0024]This disclosure generally relates to methods and tools capable of treating pain in individuals, and particularly to reducing or eliminating a diffuse pain that is a...

Abstract

Methods and tools capable of treating diffuse or localized pain attributable to fluid accumulation within a bone. Such methods may utilize an instrument that includes a pilot adapted to penetrate soft tissue between the bone and the skin of a living being. The pilot is used in combination with a penetration tool to penetrate the bone, penetrate into the cortex of the bone, and form a seal against the surface of the bone, and after which fluid is removed from within the bone. Alternatively, the method may utilized a penetration tool equipped with a stopper bar to limit penetration to the periosteum of the bone, and / or may be implanted and connected to an implanted pump.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]The present U.S. patent application is a divisional application of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 15 / 603,721 filed May 24, 2017, which claims the priority benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. Nos. 62 / 341,849 filed May 26, 2016 and 62 / 411,962 filed Oct. 24, 2016. The contents of these prior applications are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety into the present disclosure.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention generally relates to methods and tools relating to treating pain, and particularly to reducing or eliminating a diffuse pain that is attributable to intraosseous pressure within a bone.[0003]Individuals with medical conditions often suffer from pain. In many cases, the etiology of the pain is not clear. A common and well understood pain category is bone pain resulting from a variety of diseases such as trauma, trophic changes, and neoplasms. However, many chronic bone pain problems do not...
