Title:
TRANSCUTANEOUS ELECTRICAL NERVE STIMULATION DEVICE WITH THERMAL MODALITIES FOR STIMULATING ACUPOINTS OF A PATIENT WITH DEMENTIA
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2023/184201
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A head-mount transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) device (100) is adapted to stimulate acupoints of a patient transcutaneously for treating or preventing dementia when being worn on the head (20) of the patient. The TENS device (100) includes one or more frames (200), a plurality of contacts (300), a pulse width modulation (PWM) generator (740), and one or more thermal pads (340). The one or more frames (200) are arranged to have a contour matching an anatomical shape of the head (20). The plurality of contacts (300) is arranged on an inner surface of the one or more frames (200) for contacting the acupoints on the head (20). The PWM generator (740) is configured to generate a pulse stimulation signal and couple the pulse stimulation signal to the plurality of contacts (300) for stimulating the acupoints. The one or more thermal pads (340) are arranged on the inner surface of the one or more frames (200) for applying thermal treatment to the acupoints.
