  • Patent number: 7326181
    Abstract: A method using a precisely controlled, computer programmable stimulus for neuroselective tissue stimulation that does not leave a sufficient voltage or electrical artifact on the tissue being stimulated that would interfere or prevent a monitoring system from recording the physiological response is utilized to evaluate the physiological conduction of the tissue being studied. A computer controls both the waveform, duration and intensity of the stimulus. An output trigger to the nerve response recording component controls the timing of its operation. A neuroselective nervous tissue response latency and amplitude may be determined. The computer controlled stimulus may also be administered for therapeutic purposes.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 5806522
    Abstract: A method of quantitatively determining and recording constant alternating current conscious perception threshold or current conscious pain perception threshold for the purposes of determining normality or abnormality or corresponding or related anticipated therapy or drug therapy or for monitoring nerve regeneration or functional integrity, comprising the steps of, specifically placing electrodes on the patient according to a predetermined test involving a patient' conscious response, activating a power source, using an integral micro-controller operated digital stimulator, that monitors conscious responses and does not respond to unconscious or vegetative responses and computes the threshold value and registers it after application of a constant current having regard for frequency, waveform, intensity, duration of presentation, and electrode size, calculating and registering data which may be determinative or non-determinative as produced by the integral micro-controller operated unit.
