Reducing Discomfort Caused By Electrical Stimulation
US Patent:
2014001, Jan 9, 2014
Filed:
Jul 10, 2013
Appl. No.:
13/938384
Inventors:
Kenneth Marc Ghiron - Allentown PA, US
Assignee:
Neuronetics, Inc. - Malvern PA
International Classification:
A61N 2/00
US Classification:
600 13
Abstract:
The invention is directed to a novel method for reducing discomfort caused by transcutaneous stimulation. The novel method includes providing transcutaneous stimulation, reducing the transcutaneous stimulation at a first location, and substantially maintaining the transcutaneous stimulation at a second location. The transcutaneous stimulation may be created by electric and/or magnetic fields. The first location may be relatively proximate to the cutaneous surface and may comprise tissue, nerves and muscle. Also, the second location may be relatively deeper than the first location and include, for example, brain tissue that requires the transcutaneous stimulation for treatment purposes. The invention further may include locating a conductor on a treatment area and/or a transcutaneous stimulation device relative to the first location. In addition, the method may further include adjusting how much the transcutaneous stimulation is reduced at the first location.
Method And Apparatus For Determining The Proximity Of A Tms Coil To A Subject's Head
US Patent:
2012020, Aug 9, 2012
Filed:
Apr 18, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/449379
Inventors:

Assignee:
NEURONETICS, INC. - Malvern PA
International Classification:
A61N 2/04
US Classification:
600 14
Abstract:
A proximity sensor for a transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) system detects the proximity of a TMS coil assembly to a position at which the coil is to receive pulses during TMS treatment and provides feedback to the operator so that the operator may adjust the TMS coil assembly to maintain optimal positioning during treatment. A flexible substrate containing a sensor or sensor array is disposed between the TMS coil assembly and the position such that the coupling of the TMS coil assembly to the position may be detected by the sensor(s). Sensor outputs are processed by signal processing circuitry to provide an indication of whether the TMS coil assembly is properly disposed with respect to the position during TMS treatment. A display provides an indication of how to adjust the TMS coil assembly to improve the positioning of the TMS coil assembly.

Mark Edward Riehl - Doylestown PA, US
Assignee:
Neuronetics, Inc. - Malvern PA
International Classification:
A61B 17/52
US Classification:
600 9
Abstract:
The inventive technique include a system, method and device for treating a patient. The inventive system includes a magnetic core having a highly saturable magnetic material and a conductor wound around at least a portion of the magnetic core. The magnetic core has a first section with a first end and a second end, a second section with a first end and a second end. The first end of the second section is connected at an angle to the first end of the first section. The magnetic core also has a third section with a first end and a second end. The first end of the third section is connected at an angle to the second end of the second section.

International Classification:
A61N 2/00
US Classification:
600 9
Abstract:
The inventive technique include a system, method and device for treating a patient. The inventive system includes a magnetic field generating device created using a powdered ferromagnetic. The system further includes a circuit in electrical communication with the magnetic core, and a power source in electrical communication with the circuit. The ferromagnetic powder core may be manufactured by at least one of the following: machining, pressing, molding, gluing, and extruding. Also, the ferromagnetic powder core may have a distributed gap structure, where the gap structure operates to focus the magnetic field between pole faces of the magnetic device.
