  • Patent number: 12179011
    Abstract: A system, device, and method for transcutaneous nerve stimulation such as facial nerve stimulation, and in particular, to using transcutaneous nerve stimulation for artificially eliciting eye blink, such as with humans with acute facial paralysis (Bell's palsy or Dry Eye syndrome), is disclosed. A battery-operated wearable device may employ a pulse generator for periodically and automatically In generating bursts train of asymmetrical Bi-Phasic square pulses. The output pulses are fed to two electrodes that are attached to the skin of the treated person to stimulate the facial nerve for eliciting blinking at a rate that mimics normal blinking operation. The device may include a sensor and a wireless connection, and the parameters of, or the activation of, the generated bursts may be controlled by the sensor output, by human user control, or by data received from the wireless network. Further, the device may transmit status to the wireless network.
