Patent number: 11596791Abstract: A peripheral nerve stimulator can be used to stimulate a peripheral nerve to treat essential tremor, Parkinsonian tremor, and other forms of tremor. The stimulator can have electrodes that are placed circumferentially around the patient's wrist or arm. Specific nerves in the wrist or arm can be targeted by appropriate spacing of the electrodes. Positioning the electrodes on generally opposing sides of the target nerve can result in improved stimulation of the nerve. The stimulation pattern may alternate between the nerves. Improved stimulation algorithms can incorporate tremor feedback, external data, predictive adaptation, and long-term monitoring data.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2021Date of Patent: March 7, 2023Assignee: Cala Health, Inc.Inventors: Serena HanYing Wong, Kathryn H. Rosenbluth, Samuel Richard Hamner, Paula Chidester, Scott L. Delp, Terence D. Sanger, David Klein
