Estimating the term…
Apparatus for stimulating a cervical vagus nerve including a neck band attachable to a human neck, a therapy module attached to said neck band wherein said neck band positions said therapy module over a cervical vagus nerve, an ultrasound transducer within said therapy module, and a driver circuit configured to excite said ultrasound transducer to apply ultrasonic energy to said cervical vagus nerve. A force-limiting mechanism including a spring-loaded subframe prevents damage to blood vessels adjacent to said cervical vagus nerve. The apparatus operates at low voltages of 5 volts or less suitable for portable battery-powered operation and provides pulsed ultrasonic energy for therapeutic stimulation.
Apparatus for stimulating a cervical vagus nerve comprising:
A cervical vagus nerve stimulation system comprising:
