Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method for treating headaches. The system employs a self-contained, battery operated, readily portable and easy-to-operate head-mounted magnetic depolarizer to generate a transient or time-varying high-intensity magnetic field into and around the user's head or neck. The magnetic depolarizer system can be used to depolarize the neurons of the brain and/or the trigeminal nerve. This type of neuronal depolarization has the capability for terminating migraine or other types of headaches.

Abstract: An interactive implantable medical device system includes an implantable medical device and a network-enabled external device capable of bi-directional communication and interaction with the implantable medical device. The external device is programmed to interact with other similarly-enabled devices. The system facilitates improved patient care by eliminating unnecessary geographic limitations on implantable medical device interrogation and programming, and by allowing patients, physicians, and other users to access medical records, history, and information and to receive status and care-related alerts and messages anywhere there is access to a communications network.

Abstract: A system for treating neurological conditions by low-frequency time varying electrical stimulation includes an electrical device for applying such low-frequency energy, in a range below approximately 10 Hz, to the patient's brain tissue. An implantable embodiment applies direct electrical stimulation to electrodes implanted in or on the patient's brain, while a non-invasive embodiment causes a magnetic field to induce electrical currents in the patient's brain.

Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method for treating migraine headaches employing a readily portable magnetic pulse system that has a head unit connected to a table unit by means of a connecting cable. When a patient senses either the aura of a migraine headache or an ongoing headache, he would turn the table unit on and then press a charge button to charge at least one capacitor in the head unit. When the at least one capacitor is fully charged, the patient would then place the head unit onto his head and then press a button switch that causes the at least one capacitor to discharge into an electromagnetic coil located in the head unit. The high intensity electric current in the electromagnetic coil would then create a high intensity, short duration magnetic pulse onto the patient's brain which can decrease the intensity or duration of the migraine headache.
