A system (10) for neuromodulation and / or neurostimulation for treating a mammal, comprising at least:-at least one control unit (12) configured and arranged to provide stimulation data; -at least one stimulation unit (14) configured and arranged to provide stimulation pulses; -at least one real-time monitoring unit (18); -at least one signal processing unit (16); wherein the system (10) is configured and arranged for controlling blood pressure wherein the stimulation unit (14) is configured to comprise a lead (20), and wherein the lead (20) is capable and configured to provide stimulation to the spinal cord at a site T9-L1.

A system for neuromodulation and / or neurostimulation, for the treatment of a mammal, at least comprising:at least one control unit configured and arranged to provide stimulation data;at least one stimulation unit configured and arranged to provide a stimulation pulse;at least one real-time monitoring unit;at least one signal-processing unit;wherein the system is configured and arranged for control of blood pressure, wherein the stimulation unit is constructed to comprise a lead, and wherein the lead is capable and configured to provide stimulation to the spinal cord at level T9-L1.

Methods and systems for improving medical conditions by delivering a focused ultrasound signal to target sites of the autonomic nervous system. The focused ultrasound signal can have a mechanical index of between about 0.1 to about 5.0 and / or an acoustic pressure of between about 0.1 MPa to about 2.5 MPa. The medical condition can comprise chronic or refractory rhinitis, chronic rhinosinusitis, autonomic instability / autonomic dysfunction, functional gastrointestinal disorders, inflammatory disorders, immune disorders (including improving cancer and infections by neuromodulation of immune function), complex regional pain syndrome, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety and anxiety-associated disorders, autism, fibromyalgia, uterine function, metabolic disorder, urinary incontinence or binge eating.

The present invention discloses a neuromodulation system (10, 110), particularly a neurostimulation system (10, 110), for treating a patient, particularly for enhancing at least one autonomic function, such as blood circulation and / or respiration, wherein the system comprises: - at least one signal input module (12, 112) configured to receive at least one or more signals indicating blood circulation, particularly indicating pulse and / or blood pressure; - at least one control module (14, 114) connected to the signal input module (12, 112), wherein the control module (14, 114) is configured to adjust the neurostimulation provided by the neuromodulation system (10, 110) based on the signals received by the signal input module (12, 112).
