Abstract
Disclosed are methods and systems and methods for non-invasive neuromodulation using ultrasound to treat tinnitus. The neuromodulation can produce acute or long-term effects. The latter occur through Long-Term Depression (LTD) via training Included is control of direction of the energy emission, intensity, frequency, pulse duration, and phase/intensity relationships to targeting and accomplishing up regulation and/or down regulation.
Claims17
A method of deep-brain neuromodulation using ultrasound stimulation, the method comprising:
- aiming an plurality of ultrasound transducer at one or a plurality of tinnitus-related neural targets, and
- applying pulsed power to the ultrasound transducer via a control circuit, whereby tinnitus is alleviated.
