Abstract
Devices and apparatuses for inter-device stimulation. A device includes a pair of electrodes. The pair of electrodes is electrically connected to a power source. The pair of electrodes is adapted to apply a current delivered from the power source to stimulate a vagus nerve of a subject. An interelectrode distance between the pair of electrodes is defined based on a predetermined height of a carotid triangle. The power source is communicatively connected to a controller. The controller is configured to send control signals in order to control the current delivered from the power source to the pair of electrodes in a continuous stimulation pattern.
Claims25
A device, comprising:
- a pair of electrodes, wherein the pair of electrodes is electrically connected to a power source, wherein the pair of electrodes is adapted to apply a current delivered from the power source to stimulate a vagus nerve of a subject, wherein an interelectrode distance between the pair of electrodes is defined based on a predetermined height of a carotid triangle, wherein the power source is communicatively connected to a controller, wherein the controller is configured to send control signals in order to control the current delivered from the power source to the pair of electrodes in a continuous stimulation pattern.
A stimulation apparatus, comprising:
- a first device, the first device further comprising a pair of electrodes, wherein an interelectrode distance between the pair of electrodes is defined based on a predetermined height of a carotid triangle;
- and
- a second device, the second device further comprising a power source, wherein the pair of electrodes is electrically connected to the power source, wherein the pair of electrodes is adapted to apply a current delivered from the power source to stimulate a vagus nerve of a subject, wherein the power source is communicatively connected to a controller, wherein the controller is configured to send control signals in order to control the current delivered from the power source to the pair of electrodes in a continuous stimulation pattern.
