Clustering of recorded patient neurological activity to determine length of a neurological event

Apparatus and method detect a detection cluster that is associated with a neurological event, such as a seizure, of a nervous system disorder and update therapy parameters that are associated with a treatment therapy. The occurrence of the detection cluster is detected when the maximal ratio exceeds an intensity threshold. If the maximal ratio drops below the intensity threshold for a time interval that is less than a time threshold and subsequently rises above the intensity threshold, the subsequent time duration is considered as being associated with the detection cluster rather than being associated with a different detection cluster. Consequently, treatment of the nervous system disorder during the corresponding time period is in accordance with one detection cluster. Treatment therapy may be provided by providing electrical stimulation, drug infusion or a combination. Therapy parameters may be updated for each mth successive group of applications of the treatment therapy or for each nth detection cluster.

Seizure therapy method and apparatus

The invention provides a method for treating a patient for mental illnesses, such as depression, by applying a magnetic field to the patient, producing a seizure in the patient as a function of a strength of the magnetic field, and preventing further stimulation from the magnetic field when the seizure is in progress. Such Magnetic Seizure Therapy (MST) does not include many of the known side effects of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT).

Methods for treatment and prevention of neuromuscular and muscular conditions by peripherally administered erythropoietin

Methods and compositions are provided for protecting or enhancing excitable tissue function in mammals by systemic administration of an erythropoietin receptor activity modulator, such as erythropoietin, which signals via an EPO-activated receptor to modulate the function of excitable tissue. Excitable tissues include central neuronal tissues, such as the brain, peripheral neuronal tissues, retina, and heart tissue. Protection of excitable tissues provides treatment of hypoxia, seizure disorders, neurodegenerative diseases, hypoglycemia, and neurotoxin poisoning. Enhancement of function is useful in learning and memory. The invention is also directed to compositions and methods for facilitating the transport of molecules across endothelial cell tight junction barriers, such as the blood-brain barrier, by association of molecules with an erythropoietin receptor activity modulator, such as an erythropoietin.

Pacemaker for treating physiological system dysfunction

Disclosed is a device and method for preventing seizures due to physiological system dysfunction. The method is based on a conjectural model of the brain wherein each brain site is modeled as a chaotic oscillator; a normal brain generates an internal feedback signal to prevent long-term entrainment among the oscillators; and a pathological brain fails to provide this feedback signal. The device of the present invention measures and characterizes the brain sites to determine if entrainment is occurring among the oscillators, derives an appropriate feedback signal to counteract the entrainment, and applies the feedback signal to the critical brain sites. The feedback signal generated by the device supplements or takes the place of the feedback signal that would otherwise be generated by the normal brain.

Brain signal telemetry and seizure prediction

An ambulatory intrinsic brain signal processor circuit is coupled to a plurality of electrodes. The signal processor circuit can include a digital multiplexer circuit coupled to the electrodes to multiplex brain signal data from different electrodes together into a multiplexed data stream. An ambulatory transceiver circuit wirelessly communicates information to and from a remote transceiver. A controller circuit permits a user to control which of the electrodes contribute data, a data resolution, and whether the data includes one or both of neural action or local field potential data. Seizure prediction components and methods are also described.

Formulations and methods of use thereof for restoring neuronal, muscular (cardiac and striated) and / or retinal tissue function in children and adults afflicted with chronic neurodegenerative diseases, such as neurodegenerative movement disorders and ataxias, seizure disorders, motor neuron diseases, and inflammatory demyelinating disorders, are described herein. Examples of disorders include Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The method involves administering a pharmaceutical composition containing an effective amount of a tetrahydrobenzathiazole, preferably a formulation consisting substantially of the R(+) enantiomer of pramipexole. R(+) pramipexole is generally administered in doses ranging from 0.1-300 mg / kg / daily, preferably 0.5-50 mg / kg / daily, and most preferably 1-10 mg / kg / daily for oral administration. Daily total doses administered orally are typically between 10 mg and 500 mg. Alternatively, R(+) pramipexole can be administered parenterally to humans with acute brain injury in single doses between 10 mg and 100 mg and / or by continuous intravenous infusions between 10 mg / day and 500 mg / day.
