Abstract: A laryngeal nerve exciting system includes a collar holding a bridge, or a neckband, pressing soft tissue nerve exciters against a patient's neck providing a source of vibrations to stimulate the laryngeal nerve through the larynx. At least one exciter, and preferably two exciters, provide vibrations at preferably 70 Hz to 110 Hz and sufficiently strong to penetrate to the laryngeal nerve. The exciters may be held by the collar circling the neck, or by the neck band partially circling the neck. The therapy system includes a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) and software which wirelessly connects, monitors, and triggers the device. The system may be used to treat dysphagia, chronic cough, and spasmodic dysphonia.

Abstract: A flange headed screw. The flanged headed screw has a threaded shank portion with a shank diameter, a distal tip, and a proximal end. A stop flange with a diameter that is larger than the shank diameter of the threaded shank located at the proximal end of the threaded shank portion. A projection portion extends from the stop flange, and the projection portion has a diameter smaller than the diameter of the stop flange. A driving head with a driving engagement located at a proximal end of the projection portion.
