Patent number: 12213932Abstract: A system, method and device for providing sound-based therapies to a user. The system, method, and device employ an initial measurement about a user (either or both distances on said user's head or recorded sound), a determination of a resonant frequency, and a wearable actuator affixed on said user's person with the ability to provide a unique resonant frequency to the user. The aspects disclosed herein may also incorporate microphones to optimize and monitor the treatment.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2023Date of Patent: February 4, 2025Assignee: Sound Health Systems, Inc.Inventors: Paramesh Gopi, Bryant Lin, Peter Hwang

Patent number: 12193883Abstract: Devices and methods for treating rhinitis are described where the devices are configured to ablate a single nerve branch or multiple nerve branches of the posterior nasal nerves located within the nasal cavity. A surgical probe may be inserted into the sub-mucosal space of a lateral nasal wall and advanced towards a posterior nasal nerve associated with a middle nasal turbinate or an inferior nasal turbinate into a position proximate to the posterior nasal nerve where neuroablation of the posterior nasal nerve may be performed with the surgical probe. The probe device may utilize a visible light beacon that provides trans-illumination of the sub-mucosal tissue or an expandable structure disposed in the vicinity of the distal end of the probe shaft to enable the surgeon to visualize the sub-mucosal position of the distal end of the surgical probe from inside the nasal cavity using, e.g., an endoscope.Type: GrantFiled: October 8, 2019Date of Patent: January 14, 2025Assignee: Arrinex, Inc.Inventors: Bryant Lin, David Moosavi, Mojgan Saadat, Vahid Saadat

Publication number: 20240277395Abstract: The present disclosure provides apparatuses and methods for treating conditions such as chronic daily headache, cluster headache, tension headache, migraine, or acute headache of a patient. In example methods, a cryotherapy element is introduced into the nasal cavity or pterygopalatine fossa to cool or cryoablate at least one of a nasal nerve tissue or nasal blood vessel. The cryotherapy element may be introduced into the nasal cavity in a collapsed position, and prior to cooling a target treatment site may be expanded to an expanded configuration.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 19, 2024Publication date: August 22, 2024Inventors: Brian Fahey, William Jason Fox, Bryant Lin, Vahid Saadat

Patent number: 11278356Abstract: Apparatus and methods for treating and monitoring conditions such as rhinitis are disclosed herein. The technology utilizes ultrasound scans to identify target treatment sites, and monitor the treatment of a patient undergoing a treatment. The treatment may be an ablation treatment of a nasal nerve, for example the PNN for the treatment of nasal conditions, such as rhinitis. The ultrasound scans are performed within the nasal cavity with an ultrasound probe or a combined ultrasound and ablation probe and may use Doppler, A-mode, B-mode, M-mode or other ultrasound and non-ultrasound modalities to detect and monitor the target treatment sites.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2018Date of Patent: March 22, 2022Assignee: Arrinex, Inc.Inventors: Brian Fahey, William Jason Fox, Bryant Lin, Mojgan Saadat, Vahid Saadat
