Systems and methods provide stimulation of peripheral targets such as targets in the lower limbs. Electrode arrays realized in circumferential or longitudinal embodiments have pads with horizontal and / or vertical offsets. Electrode array geometries are customizable and adaptable to individual users and treatment of different disorders. Novel systems of customization include software and hardware implemented solutions. A single device can provide treatment of two or more disorders or unwanted states using selected electrode geometries and stimulation protocols. Systems and methods for assessment of candidate stimulation sites and protocols use subjective or objective measures or both to determine which meet stimulation success criteria. Simulation is provided using transcutaneous, percutaneous, or implantable stimulators. A main advantage is the improved treatment of pelvic floor disorders, and especially overactive bladder (OAB).

Devices and methods for evaluating and treating neurogenic bladder (NB) are disclosed. In some embodiments, a probe may include microneedles for gently puncturing the bladder detrusor tissue of a test subject. The microneedles may non-invasively collect a series of electric impedance myography (EIM) measurements to evaluate the condition of the bladder and assist in diagnosis. In some embodiments, the probe may provide information regarding the tissue's structural and biophysiological condition, in a real-time, quantitative, and objective manner. In some embodiments, the probe may assist in identifying optimal treatment (e.g., Botox or biomaterials injection) sites for NB by providing real-time results.

Disclosed herein is a device for facilitating treatment for anorectal and pelvic floor disorders of users using biofeedback therapy. Accordingly, the device may include a body extending between a top end and a bottom end. Further, the device may include a balloon mounted on the top end portion of the body. Further, the device may include a plurality of sensors comprising at least one first sensor, at least one second sensor, and at least one third sensor. Further, the device may include a processing device communicatively coupled with the plurality of sensors. Further, the processing device may be configured for analyzing final first balloon data, first sensor data, second sensor data, and third sensor data, determining an anorectal anatomical change, and generating a dynamic visual representation and a static visual representation. Further, the device may include a communication device configured for transmitting the dynamic visual representation to an output device.

The present disclosure is a multi-functional device and method for treating fecal incontinence and related pelvic floor disorders. The device provides mechanical closure with or without neuromuscular stimulation and / or neuromodulation for individuals suffering from incontinence. The device enhances the functionality of the perianal tissue or the tissue surrounding the anal cavity, aiding in voluntary and involuntary control over continence. It comprises a flexible, multi-layer substrate with a fecal blocking element and a buttocks support portion, which incorporates adhesive layers and a rigid or semi-rigid support structure to ensure secure placement during use. The multi-layer substrate may be with or without a perineum absorbent patch or pad. The device may also integrate electrodes for transcutaneous electrical stimulation, capable of targeting the anal sphincters or surrounding perianal tissue (including skin, fat, and muscle) or S2-S3 dermatomes, thereby raising the pressure in the anal canal, contracting the external anal sphincter, and triggering reflex contractions. A control module may be used to activate electrical stimulation in response to user-identified urges, reinforcing voluntary sphincter contractions. This disclosure provides a comprehensive, non-invasive solution for managing fecal incontinence and related pelvic floor disorders through a combination of mechanical, electrical, drug delivery, and irrigation therapies, offering both immediate and long- term therapeutic benefits.

This invention discloses a pelvic floor disorder EEG data acquisition system, comprising: an experimental paradigm module for designing experimental paradigms; an audio-visual technology module for presenting each stage of the experimental paradigm through audio-visual technology, guiding users to perform tasks as required; an EEG acquisition module for collecting EEG data from users at each stage of the experimental paradigm using EEG acquisition equipment; a data preprocessing module for preprocessing the collected EEG data; and a data analysis module for performing feature extraction, classification, and correlation analysis on the preprocessed EEG data to achieve a comprehensive assessment of the functional status of pelvic floor muscles. This pelvic floor disorder EEG data acquisition system comprehensively covers resting state, memory, anal contraction, and defecation tasks in its experimental paradigms. Combined with audio-visual guidance, it ensures accurate user execution and collects high-quality EEG data, providing a scientific basis for accurate assessment and personalized rehabilitation of pelvic floor function.
