Abstract
The present invention provides devices, systems and methods for delivering one or more thermal waveforms to the vestibular system and/or the nervous system of a patient. In some embodiments, the present invention provides a vestibular stimulation device configured both to generate a prescription for delivering one or more thermal waveforms and to deliver the prescribed thermal waveforms.
Claims20
A vestibular stimulation device comprising:
- an earpiece;
- a thermoelectric device (TED) thermally coupled to said earpiece;
- and
- a controller operatively connected to said TED, said controller comprising:
- a prescription comprising a set of instructions for delivering one or more thermal waveforms to the vestibular system and/or the nervous system of a patient;
- and
- a control module configured to activate said TED to deliver the prescribed thermal waveform(s), wherein the prescribed thermal waveform(s) are configured to treat Parkinson's disease in a subject in need of treatment thereof.
A vestibular stimulation device comprising:
- an earpiece;
- a thermoelectric device (TED) thermally coupled to said earpiece;
- and
- a controller operatively connected to said TED, said controller comprising:
- a prescription comprising a set of instructions for delivering one or more thermal waveforms to the vestibular system and/or the nervous system of a patient;
- and
- a control module configured to activate said TED to deliver the prescribed thermal waveform(s), wherein the prescribed thermal waveform(s) are configured to treat headache in a subject in need of treatment thereof.
A method of delivering one or more thermal waveforms to at least one of the vestibular system and the nervous system of a patient, comprising:
- generating a prescription comprising a set of instructions for delivering one or more thermal waveforms to at least one of the vestibular system and the nervous system of said subject;
- and delivering the prescribed thermal waveform(s) to at least one of the vestibular system and the nervous system of the patient using a vestibular stimulation device,), wherein the prescribed thermal waveform(s) are configured to treat Parkinson's in a subject in need of treatment thereof.
A method of delivering one or more thermal waveforms to at least one of the vestibular system and the nervous system of a patient, comprising:
- generating a prescription comprising a set of instructions for delivering one or more thermal waveforms to at least one of the vestibular system and the nervous system of said subject;
- and delivering the prescribed thermal waveform(s) to at least one of the vestibular system and the nervous system of the patient using a vestibular stimulation device,), wherein the prescribed thermal waveform(s) are configured to treat headache in a subject in need of treatment thereof.
