Publication number: 20110178581Abstract: This invention provides methods for treating a variety of disorders using localized electromagnetic radiation directed at excitable tissues, including nerves, muscles and blood vessels. By controlling the wavelength, the wavelength bandpass, pulse duration, intensity, pulse frequency, and/or variations of those characteristics over time, and by selecting sites of exposure to electromagnetic radiation, improvements in the function of different tissues and organs can be provided. By monitoring physiological variables such as muscle tone and activity, temperature gradients, surface electromyography, blood flow and others, the practitioner can optimize a therapeutic regimen suited for the individual patient.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 4, 2011Publication date: July 21, 2011Inventors: Constance Haber, Allan Gardiner

Publication number: 20050135102Abstract: Illuminators and systems are provided that permit the production of a beam of electromagnetic radiation having selected peak wavelength, bandwidth, intensity, pulse frequency and pulse duration for a variety of analytical and therapeutic applications. Multiple beam illuminators use filter elements arranged into filter arrays, having characteristic wavelength absorption properties. By providing a series of filter arrays formed into tracks having defined wavelength offsets, radiation passing through a portion of a track can be modified to include selected peak wavelength and bandwidth. Selection of peak wavelength(s) and bandwidth can be accomplished using mechanical interrupters, mechanical shutters, or electro-optical devices including liquid crystal device. Multiple output beams permit the coordinated illumination of a target, and sensors provide feedback regarding the effects of illumination on a target.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 4, 2004Publication date: June 23, 2005Inventors: Allan Gardiner, Constance Haber

Patent number: 6366802Abstract: Photo illumination of sites along a nerve supplying a painful region is conducted one at a time until a thermal image of that region or one related to it shows a significant change in temperature, at which time the treatment is terminated. If it is an extremity (hand or foot) that is has pain symptoms, one extremity is treated by exposing its nerve sites to photo illumination while the other extremity is observed by a thermograph instrument. Use of the thermal image as a feedback technique allows the treatment to be terminated as soon as the favorable temperature change takes place.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2000Date of Patent: April 2, 2002Assignee: Bales Scientific Inc.Inventors: Constance Haber, Maurice Bales
