Mechanical Cutaneous Nerve Stimulation for Reducing Epileptic Seizures and Perceived Pain (Case No. 2016-686-3)

Summary: UCLA researchers have developed a novel, non-invasive pain management device that uses mechanical vibrations to activate cutaneous sensory fibers, reducing epileptic seizures, masking pain perception and alleviating associated symptoms. Background: Unexpected death due to epilepsy is a pressing concern, with an estimated incidence of 1.2...

2019-845 Non-Invasive Neuromodulatory Means to Maintain Blood Pressure and Respiration in Conditions with Compromised Breathing or Cardiovascular Control

SUMMARYUCLA researchers in the Department of Neurobiology have developed a non-invasive, non-electrical neuromodulatory system that uses vibratory stimulation of cranial and cervical nerves of the auditory canal to abolish breathing disorders while maintaining blood pressure.BACKGROUNDSleep disturbed breathing and related cardiovascular disorders such...
