Medical treatment device and method for stimulating neurons of a patient to suppress a pathologically synchronous activity thereof

A medical treatment glove for being fastened to a patient's hand and for stimulating neurons of the patient to suppress a pathologically synchronous activity, the medical treatment glove comprising:

• at least three non-invasive stimulating units for generating stimuli to a patient's body, and
• a control unit for selectively and intermittently actuating the stimulating units in a sequence of actuating periods, wherein
• the control unit, across the sequence of actuating periods, is configured to variedly determine for each actuating period a number n of stimulating units to be simultaneously actuated during the respective actuating period.

A medical treatment band for being fastened to a patient's body and for stimulating neurons of the patient to suppress a pathologically synchronous activity, the medical treatment band comprising:

• at least three non-invasive stimulating units for generating stimuli to a patient's body, and
• a control unit for selectively and intermittently actuating the stimulating units in a sequence of actuating periods, wherein
• the control unit, across the sequence of actuating periods, is configured to variedly determine for each actuating period a number n of stimulating units to be simultaneously actuated during the respective actuating period.

A medical treatment seat pad for stimulating neurons of the patient to suppress a pathologically synchronous activity, the medical treatment seat pad comprising:

• at least three non-invasive stimulating units for generating stimuli to a patient's body, and
• a control unit for selectively and intermittently actuating the stimulating units in a sequence of actuating periods, wherein
• the control unit, across the sequence of actuating periods, is configured to variedly determine for each actuating period a number n of stimulating units to be simultaneously actuated during the respective actuating period.

Medical treatment sole for stimulating neurons of the patient to suppress a pathologically synchronous activity, the medical treatment seat pad comprising:

• at least three non-invasive stimulating units for generating stimuli to a patient's body, and
• a control unit for selectively and intermittently actuating the stimulating units in a sequence of actuating periods, wherein
• the control unit, across the sequence of actuating periods, is configured to variedly determine for each actuating period a number n of stimulating units to be simultaneously actuated during the respective actuating period.

A medical treatment method for stimulating neurons of a patient to suppress a pathologically synchronous activity, the method comprising the steps of:

• providing at least three non-invasive stimulating units for generating stimuli to a patient's body, and
• selectively and intermittently actuating the stimulating units according to a sequence of actuating periods, wherein a number n of stimulating units to be simultaneously actuated during the respective actuating period variedly varies across the sequence, and wherein, during at least one of the actuating periods, three stimulating units are simultaneously actuated.
