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...
