  • Patent number: 11338140
    Abstract: Provided herein are methods, devices, compositions, and kits for monitoring neuromodulation efficacy based on changes in the level or activity of one or more target biomarkers. One aspect includes a comparison of baseline and post-modulation levels of one or more biomarkers in bodily fluid that have each been collected from a human subject at a relevant time, and that may be used to assess the neuromodulation efficacy. The post-neuromodulation levels for the one or more biomarkers may be collected from the human subject within about 5 minutes to about 14 days post-neuromodulation.

  • Patent number: 9027185
    Abstract: The portable head support device of the present invention provides comfortable support for a user's head while the user is in a sitting potion. The pillow or cushion has a v-shape on the top where a user's chin can rest so that the head cannot fall forward or sideways but will stay in a comfortable and upright position. The pillow is held in place by hook and loop fasteners located on the pillow and, for instance, on straps extending from behind the user's back and over the shoulders or wraparound supports wrapped around standard seat belts. The head support can be used in child car seats to keep a child's head in a safe and stable position while they sleep.

  • Publication number: 20140213971
    Abstract: Neuromodulation assemblies (200) include an extravascular prosthesis (202) disposed around and contacting at least a portion of an exterior surface (204) of a vessel (V) and a radially expandable intravascular prosthesis (206) contacting an interior surface (208) of the vessel. The neuromodulation assemblies are configured to compress, pinch, or squeeze a target nerve within the adventitia of the vessel between the extravascular and intravascular prostheses in order to impinge and disrupt the target nerve, thereby blocking or stopping nerve signal transduction. Neuromodulation assemblies configured in accordance with the present technology may also utilize radio-frequency energy, a drug, and/or magnetic attraction to block nerve signal transduction for neuromodulation thereof.
