Philosophy:
I take care of people in pain. I am motivated to help my patients, to give them a better experience than others they have encountered, and to give them more relief and functionality than they had before they met me. There is a lot of emotion tied up with chronic pain: depression, anxiety, and guilt over not being able to fulfill their responsibilities. My patients tell me that I am a good listener; often, I am the first doctor who believed them when they said they were in severe pain.

12/211411
Inventors:
Joshua Greenspan - Portsmouth NH, US
International Classification:
A61N 1/05
US Classification:
607 46
Abstract:
A method of treating chronic pain in a subject by positioning a lead containing electrodes subcutaneously in the occipital region of a subject's skull at the height of an imaginary line connecting the tops of the ears; and energizing the lead with an electrical signal effective to suppress pain, and below the level where the subject can feel the lead being energized. Typically the procedure involves a trial phase and a permanent implant phase. The procedure is known as occipital neuromodulation.
Occipital Neuromodulation Method
US Patent:
2013002, Jan 24, 2013
Filed:
Oct 1, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/632180
Inventors:
Joshua Greenspan - Portsmouth NH, US
International Classification:
A61N 1/36, A61N 1/05
US Classification:
607 46, 607116
Abstract:
A method of treating pain in a subject includes the step of positioning a tip of one or more leads subcutaneously in the occipital region of a subject's scalp, where the leads are configured to conduct an electrical signal along an occipital nerve into the brain. The leads are energized to conduct the electrical signal along the occipital nerve and the electrical signal is adjusted to a level effective to decrease the subject's pain over time and so that the subject cannot feel the lead being energized.
