Publication number: 20240122796Abstract: Proposed are methods and systems for thermally and/or vibrationally stimulating at least one of a laryngeal nerve or a thyroid using a neckband stimulator to treat at least one of a swallow disorder, a voice disorder, chronic cough, or thyroid related diseases. The neckband stimulator may include first and second thermal energy providers each providing a thermal energy on a surface thereof. The neckband stimulator may include first and second conductive pads configured to receive the thermal energy. The method may include placing the neckband at least partially around a neck of a patient, and moving the neckband such that the conductive pads contact different portions of the neck. The method may also include controlling the thermal energy providers to thermally conduct heat away from or to at least one of the laryngeal nerve or thyroid through the conductive pads.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2023Publication date: April 18, 2024Inventors: Alex Jolly, Cameron Jolly, Kristin King, Jose Comino

Publication number: 20240091099Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 30, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Alex Jolly, Cameron Jolly, Kristin King, Jose Comino, Daniel Carrillo, Wayne Fong, Kenneth Green
