Abstract: Transnasal delivery of medication directly to a patient's brain is achieved using an iontophoresis wire cooperable with a medication administration device. A controller regulates an electric charge to the iontophoresis wire. The iontophoresis wire is insertable into each nasal cavity. This wire is preferably encased in a tube, through which the medication will be transnasally delivered. A cleaning solution may also be delivered to the nasal cavity after treatment to reduce irritation from the iontophoresis.

Abstract: A delivery method and implantable apparatus that allows for controlled, enhanced and (pre)-programmable administration of a biologically active agent into the spinal structures and/or the brain via the epidural space of a mammal, particularly of a human being and including a feedback regulated delivery method and apparatus specifically in the treatment of neurological diseases and chronic pain.

Abstract: A device and methods are described for a non-invasive transnasal and transocular drug delivery to the central nervous system using iontophoresis technology. By delivered through the olfactory nerve and the optical nerve, a biologically active substance of interest can be enhanced to be delivered into the CNS and CSF and bypassing the blood-brain barrier. Such drug delivery system can also be enhanced by using phonophoresis and other enhancement techniques.

Abstract: Disclosed are invasive and non-invasive central nervous system (CNS) drug delivery methods and devices for use in these methods that essentially circumvent the blood-brain barrier. More specifically, the disclosed methods and devices utilize iontophoresis as delivery technique that allows for enhanced delivery of a biologically active agent into the CNS of a mammal as well as for (pre)-programmable and controlled transport.

Abstract: A device to enhance the delivery of a drug or other substance of interest into a selected organ or tissue, comprising special electrodes, one of the electrodes carrying a container with the selected drug or other substance of interest, said electrodes being capable of being positioned at preselected locations of said organ or tissue, wherein the electrodes are all connected with a selected energy source which generates and maintains an energy field before and during the enhanced delivery of said substance, under the influence of which delivery is accomplished in a direction from the active to the passive electrode and into said organ or tissue. The energy source may be selected from suitable sources providing an electric field, a magnetic field, ultrasonic waves, high energy waves like laser beams, or a combination thereof.

Abstract: Apparatus for use in the determination of the condition of the vegetative part of the nervous system and/or of sensory functions of an organism, i.e. a human being or animal. The apparatus comprises devices for generating and supplying to said organism at least one sensory stimulus chosen from a group of sensory stimuli, such as visual, sound, olfactory, gustatory, tactile or pain stimuli, and devices for measuring the skin potential and the evoked response of the organism to a stimulus. The measured data are processed by processing devices for automatically controlling the supply of at least one stimulus for providing a non-rhythmical sequence of stimuli. Preferably, pairs of stimuli are supplied for developing a conditioned reflex.

Abstract: A method and an instrument for measuring sensory functions (hearing vision, smell, tactile sense and pain sensitivity) of a human or an animal, whereby the sense under investigation is stimulated and the resulting change of a skin potential is recorded. Preferably, another stimulus such as an electric potential is applied, optionally several times with varying intervals and varying intensity, prior to the stimulation of the sense under investigation.
