Abstract
A neuromodulation device and method capable of varying a neuromodulation therapy in order to prevent, delay or control a sexual emission.
Claims20
A system for altering an approaching sexual event, comprising:
- a housing comprising:
- a central body portion;
- first and second hinge portions being disposed on respective opposite sides of the central body portion;
- first and second electrode containment portions disposed on respective opposite sides of the central body portion and attached to the respective first and second hinge portions;
- wherein the first and second electrode containment portions are pivotally displaceable relative to the central body portion at the first and second hinge portions respectively extending between the central body portion and the first and second electrode containment portions respectively, and wherein the first and second hinge portions have a thickness less than a thickness of the central body portion and the first and second electrode containment portions;
- circuitry disposed in the housing and configured to generate electrical stimulations;
- a power supply disposed in the housing and in operative communication with the circuitry;
- and
- at least first and second electrodes in operative communication with the circuitry to deliver the electrical stimulations, wherein the first electrode is disposed on the first electrode containment portion and wherein the second electrode is disposed on the second electrode containment portion, with the at least first and second electrodes pivotally displaceable for transperineal tissue contact.

A reusable system for altering an approaching ejaculation event, comprising:
- a housing comprising:
- an elongate central body portion,
- first and second electrode containment portions disposed on respective opposite sides of the central body portion;
- first and second hinge portions disposed on respective opposite sides of the central body portion and extending along a length of and parallel to the central body portion;
- wherein the first electrode containment portion is configured to be pivotally displaceable relative to an axis of the central body portion at the first hinge portion, and the second electrode containment portion is configured to be pivotally displaceable relative to an axis of the central body portion at the second hinge portion, wherein the central body portion has a thickness greater than a thickness of the first and second electrode containment portions;
- therapy circuitry configured to deliver electrical stimulation, wherein the therapy circuitry is disposed within the housing;
- a power supply disposed within the housing and in operative communication with the therapy circuitry;
- a button disposed in the housing and configured to communicate with the therapy circuitry to control and alter a stimulation pattern of the electrical stimulation;
- and
- one or more electrode pairs disposed on the housing, each of the one or more electrode pairs being in operative communication with the therapy circuitry and the button, wherein the one or more electrode pairs are configured to transmit the electrical stimulation to deliver neuromodulation therapy in a perineal region.
