Abstract: A device and methods are described for a non-invasive transnasal and transocular drug delivery to the central nervous system using iontophoresis technology. By delivered through the olfactory nerve and the optical nerve, a biologically active substance of interest can be enhanced to be delivered into the CNS and CSF and bypassing the blood-brain barrier. Such drug delivery system can also be enhanced by using phonophoresis and other enhancement techniques.

Abstract: A delivery method and implantable apparatus that allows for controlled, enhanced and (pre)-programmable administration of a biologically active agent into the spinal structures and/or the brain via the epidural space of a mammal, particularly of a human being and including a feedback regulated delivery method and apparatus specifically in the treatment of neurological diseases and chronic pain.

Abstract: A device to enhance the delivery of a drug or other substance of interest into a selected organ or tissue, comprising special electrodes, one of the electrodes carrying a container with the selected drug or other substance of interest, said electrodes being capable of being positioned at preselected locations of said organ or tissue, wherein the electrodes are all connected with a selected energy source which generates and maintains an energy field before and during the enhanced delivery of said substance, under the influence of which delivery is accomplished in a direction from the active to the passive electrode and into said organ or tissue. The energy source may be selected from suitable sources providing an electric field, a magnetic field, ultrasonic waves, high energy waves like laser beams, or a combination thereof.

Abstract: Disclosed are invasive and non-invasive central nervous system (CNS) drug delivery methods and devices for use in these methods that essentially circumvent the blood-brain barrier. More specifically, the disclosed methods and devices utilize iontophoresis as delivery technique that allows for enhanced delivery of a biologically active agent into the CNS of a mammal as well as for (pre)-programmable and controlled transport.
