    摘要: Apparatus for treating an intervertebral disc of a subject is provided. The apparatus includes at least three intra-pulposus exposed electrode surfaces, which are configured to be implanted within a nucleus pulposus of the disc, at different respective locations; and one or more extra-pulposus exposed electrode surfaces, which are configured to be implanted outside the nucleus pulposus, in electrical communication with the disc. Control circuitry is configured to (a) configure the intra-pulposus exposed electrode surfaces to be cathodes, and the one or more extra-pulposus exposed electrode surfaces to be one or more anodes, and (b) drive the intra-pulposus exposed electrode surfaces and the one or more extra-pulposus exposed electrode surfaces to electroosmotically drive fluid into the nucleus pulposus to increase pressure in the disc.

    摘要: Systems, devices and methods are provided for transcutaneously delivering energy impulses to bodily tissues for therapeutic purposes, such as for enhancing the body's bone healing process in spinal fusion patients. A therapeutic stimulator system comprises a housing for an energy source and a signal generator. The system further includes one or more electrodes coupled to the signal generator. A processor is coupled to the housing and configured to determine usage levels of the signal generator and/or motion data of the housing. The system may include a mobile device that allows the patient to input user status data, such as pain levels, and compare the user status data with the usage levels and/or the motion data, thereby improving patient compliance with a prescribed therapy regimen.

    摘要: A computer-implemented method to determine locations of transducers to apply tumor treating fields to a target tissue of a subject's body, the method comprising: obtaining a three-dimensional model of at least a portion of the subject's body; and identifying a first location on the three-dimensional model to place a first transducer, wherein the first transducer has a first surface to be located facing the subject's body, wherein the first transducer has at least one electrode element adapted to provide tumor treating fields, wherein when viewed from a direction perpendicular to the first surface of the first transducer, an area of the at least one electrode element of the first transducer ranges from approximately 150 cm2 to approximately 265 cm2.

    摘要: A device to stimulate a scalp comprises an array of stimulating elements, the stimulating elements arranged along a circumference of at least one wheel, the wheel adapted to roll over the scalp. A method of treating/preventing a hair-condition comprises: subjecting the scalp to at least 200 distinct electrode-scalp contact events during a time-interval of at most one minute and dividable into 5 non-overlapping equal-duration sub-intervals covering the time-interval, method performed such that i. for at least a majority of the electrode-scalp contact events, no electrode of the event enters into the dermis; ii. a duration of each electrode contact event is at most 100 milliseconds; and iii. for each electrode contact event, an electrical current flows between the electrode and the scalp so as to deposit electrode-released ions of a first metal or of a second metal on the scalp, thereby forming a respective metal-ion-deposition island on the user's scalp.
