  • Publication number: 20250099758
    Abstract: Exemplary embodiments may provide systems and methods relating to the treatment of at a subject to enhance performance by the subject. In some exemplary embodiments peripheral nerve stimulation may be used in conjunction along with other treatment options, such as neurofeedback (NFB) and respiratory biofeedback (R-BFB). A subject may be subject in a session of treatment to a period of R-BFB training with peripheral nerve stimulation and a period of NFB training with peripheral nerve stimulation. In other exemplary embodiment the peripheral nerve stimulation is combined with one other type of treatment or with more than two other types of treatment. The treatment may entail multiple sessions over a period of days or even weeks This combined training improves symptoms and may be non-invasive. The frequency of the stimulation, pulse width of the stimulation, duration of the stimulation, or the pulse amplitude of the stimulation may vary during the applying.

  • Publication number: 20250099757
    Abstract: Exemplary embodiments may provide systems and methods relating to the treatment of at least one of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), anxiety, hypertension, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), traumatic brain injury, or a sleep disorder. In some exemplary embodiments peripheral nerve stimulation may be used in conjunction along with other treatment options, such as neurofeedback (NFB) and respiratory biofeedback (R-BFB). For example, a subject may be subject in a session of treatment to a period of R-BFB training with peripheral nerve stimulation and a period of NFB training with peripheral nerve stimulation. In other exemplary embodiment the peripheral nerve stimulation is combined with one other type of treatment or with more than two other types of treatment. The treatment may entail multiple sessions over a period of days or even weeks This combined training improves symptoms and may be non-invasive.

  • Publication number: 20220143392
    Abstract: A nerve stimulator is provided, and in particular a non-invasive nerve stimulator for peripheral nerves, such as the ulnar and/or median nerves. The stimulator may be fitted proximate the left and/or right arm, wrist or hand of a user, to stimulate the median and/or ulnar nerves using electricity, light, sound, magnetic field, vibration or pressure, or any combination of these stimuli. The apparatus takes the form of a standalone band or clasp, or forms part of a fitness tracker band, watch or smartwatch. The nerve stimulator comprises a stimulus generator, to generate any or a combination of the stimuli mentioned above, an applicator to apply the generated stimulus to the arm, wrist or hand of the user, and a controller to control the operation of the stimulus generator and the applicator. In some cases, for stimuli such as light, sound, magnetic field, vibration or pressure, the generator and applicator may be combined into a single component.
