Abstract: A method for treating psychiatric diseases such as Affective Disorder (including Major Depression and Bipolar Disorder), Anxiety Disorder (including General Anxiety Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and Panic Disorder) by stimulation (either electrical and/or chemical) of the thalamus, and in particular a region within the dorsomedial nucleus of the thalamus.

Abstract: A method for treating complex regional pain syndromes by applying an oscillating electric field to appropriate sympathetic ganglia. The method includes the steps of inserting an electrode into the vicinity of the sympathetic ganglion, for example the stellate and upper thoracic ganglia, such that the necessary electric field may be applied to the ganglion. The necessary field oscillation frequency and strength, as well as other characteristics of the signal are determined individually for each patient. Continued driving of the pathological activity of the ganglion into the normal function is the long-term, reversible palatative remedy for the condition.

Abstract: A method for treating psychiatric diseases such as Anxiety disorder (including General Anxiety Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disease, and Panic Disorder), Affective Disorder(including Major Depression and Bipolar Disorder) by neuromodulation (either chemical or electrical) of the frontal cerebral cortex, and in particular regions within the orbitofrontal cerebral cortex.

Abstract: A method for treating hyperhidrosis by applying an oscillating electric field to the stellate ganglion. The method includes the steps of inserting an electrode into the vacinity of the sympathetic ganglion, for example the stellate ganglion, such that the necessary electric field may be applied to the ganglion. The necessary field oscillation frequency and strength, as well as other characteristics of the signal are determined individually for each patient. Continued driving of the pathological activity of the ganglion into the normal function is the long-term, reversible palatative remedy for the condition.
