  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR TRANSDERMAL ELECTRICAL STIMULATION TO IMPROVE SLEEP
    Publication number: 20200155790
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for improving sleep by transdermal electrical stimulation (TES). In general, described herein are methods for applying TES to a subject, and particularly the subject's head (e.g., temple/forehead region) and/or neck with an TES waveform adapted to improve sleep, including reducing sleep onset (falling to sleep) more quickly and/or lengthening the duration of sleep. TES waveform(s) particularly well suited to enhancing sleep are also described herein.
    Type: Application
    Filed: January 5, 2016
    Publication date: May 21, 2020
    Inventors: William J. TYLER, Alyssa M. BOASSO, Hailey M. MORTIMORE, Rhonda S. SILVA, Sumon K. PAL, Jonathan CHARLESWORTH

  • APPARATUSES AND METHODS FOR TRANSDERMAL ELECTRICAL STIMULATION OF NERVES TO MODIFY OR INDUCE A COGNITIVE STATE
    Publication number: 20170197081
    Abstract: Portable transdermal electrical stimulation (TES) applicators for modifying a subject's cognitive state by applying stimulation to the subject's skin. One or more electrode may be on the subject's mastoid, and/or on or near the back of the subject's neck. The portable applicators are configured and adapted to be lightweight and may be wearable, and to deliver a high-intensity TES able to evoke or enhance a predetermined cognitive effect to stimulate either the trigeminal, facial and/or cervical plexus. These TES applicators may include a pair of electrodes and a TES control module comprising a processor, a timer and a waveform generator.
