  • TREATMENT OF OBESITY BY SUB-DIAPHRAGMATIC NERVE STIMULATION
    Publication number: 20080147139
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for treating obese or other patients with compulsive overeating disorder includes unilaterally or bilaterally stimulating one or both of the left and right branches of a patient's vagus nerve directly or indirectly with an electrical pulse signal generated by an implantable neurostimulator with at least one operatively coupled nerve electrode to apply the pulse signal to the selected nerve branch at a location below the patient's diaphragm. The implantable neurostimulator is programmable to enable physician programming of electrical and timing parameters of the pulse signal, to induce weight loss of the patient.
    Type: Application
    Filed: March 3, 2008
    Publication date: June 19, 2008
    Applicant: CYBERONICS, INC.
    Inventors: Burke T. Barrett, Mitchell S. Roslin

  • Treatment of obesity by bilateral vagus nerve stimulation
    Patent number: 7299091
    Abstract: A method of treating patients for compulsive overeating includes stimulating left and right branches of the patient's vagus nerve simultaneously with electrical pulses in a predetermined sequence of a first period in which pulses are applied continuously, alternating with a second period in which no pulses are applied. The electrical pulses are preferably applied to the vagus nerve at a supradiaphragmatic location.
