Abstract: Methods for administering nitric oxide (NO) generated by a plasma source via stream of gas also containing a number of other chemical and physical components that create synergistic effect in treatment of a variety of medical conditions. A stream of gas is generated by a plasma source/sources, in which nitric oxide is a part of its content and in desired concentration and at the appropriate speed, so that therapeutically significant amount of NO is delivered per unit of treated tissue area and per unit of time. The stream also contains other physical and chemical compounds such as H2O2, OH, O2, O2? (i.e., oxygen superoxide), heating and UV radiation. The stream of gas generated by plasma source(s) must be precisely directed to the site of action to achieve the best therapeutic result.

Abstract: Methods for administering nitric oxide (NO) in a plasma state to a treatment site are disclosed. A discrete stream of matter is placed in a plasma state, in which the stream has, as part of its content, a desired concentration of NO. The discrete stream of matter is directed at a site of action to achieve a therapeutic result.
