  • Publication number: 20190151190
    Abstract: A method and system for treating restless leg syndrome. The system includes a vibration generator and a controller operable to provide counter-stimulation vibration to a patient suffering from restless leg syndrome. The counter-stimulation may be provided at a frequency of between 1 cycle/minute to 1000 cycles per second and at an amplitude and duration sufficient to act as a counter-stimulation vibration to restless leg syndrome but low enough to allow the patient to sleep.

  • Patent number: 9017273
    Abstract: An exemplary system for generating a counter-stimulation in a patient suffering from RLS includes a device configured and arranged to generate a counter-stimulation in a patient suffering from RLS, the counter-stimulation of an amplitude, intensity, and time duration lower than that which would wake the patient and higher than that sufficient to relieve RLS, or sufficient to relieve RLS symptoms and allow the patient to return to sleep, a controller configured and arranged to drive the counter-stimulation generation device, the controller being in communication with the counter-stimulation device, and a base configured and arranged to hold the counter-stimulation generation device adjacent to a patient, the counter-stimulation device attached to the base. An exemplary method of treating RLS includes selecting a patient experiencing RLS, and stimulating a portion of the patient at an amplitude, intensity, and duration sufficient to act as a counter-stimulation to RLS.
