PRESS NEEDLES WITH AN ALIGNMENT STRUCTURE
Provided is an press needles with an alignment structure having a conductor and multiple needles. The conductor having two opposite ends has an acupuncture area and a holding area. The acupuncture area is located at one end of the conductor, and the holding area is located at the other end of the conductor. The needles are sequentially aligned at a side of the conductor. Therefore, the alignment structure offers the patient better treatments and decreasing the period of treatment.
DEVICE FOR MITIGATING MOTION SICKNESS AND OTHER RESPONSES TO INCONSISTENT SENSORY INFORMATION
Embodiments disclosed herein mitigate motion sickness by disrupting, controlling, or influencing anatomy of the vestibular system. An embodiment may induce vibrations in the vestibular system, including otoliths and/or semicircular canals of the inner ear, causing noisy or unreliable sensory information to be sent to the brain from the vestibular system. Due to the noisy or unreliable quality, the brain, as part of a normal physiological response, may rely less on sensory information from the vestibular system and rely more on other sources, thereby mitigating the motion sickness response, vertigo, vestibular migraines, and other physiological responses to inconsistent sensory information. Vibrations in the vestibular system may be induced by an agitator placed on an individual's head near the vestibular system, or by a transducer placed near the eardrum or directly on an individual's head. Some embodiments may optionally include implantable components in addition to extracorporeal components.
EXTERNAL EAR CANAL PRESSURE REGULATION SYSTEM
An external ear canal pressure regulation device including a fluid flow generator and an earpiece having a first axial earpiece conduit fluidicly coupled to the fluid flow generator, whereby the earpiece has a compliant earpiece external surface configured to sealably engage an external ear canal as a barrier between an external ear canal pressure and an ambient pressure.
LIGHT TOUCH THERAPUETIC EARBUDS
The present invention discloses a wireless and self-contained earbud device that delivers an electronic signal to a precise and self-locating position within bilateral conchae in both ears of a human user. The earbud device comprises an earpiece housing and an electronics housing including a waveform source for generating a constant electronic signal. The electronics housing is included inside the earpiece housing and communicates wirelessly with one or more devices of a user. The constant electronic signal is transmitted from the electronics housing and is communicated to a precise and self-locating position within bilateral conchae in each ear of the user who is wearing the therapeutic earbud device for treating heroin addiction. The earbud device is made of a foam-like material that is self-fitting in the user's ear regardless of shape or size.
REFLEXOLOGY APPARATUS
A reflexology apparatus is described. In some examples, the reflexology apparatus can include a frame portion and one or more pressure point nodes attached to the frame portion. The reflexology apparatus can also include a removable sleeve portion that covers at least part of the frame portion and has one or more pressure point nodes attached to the removable sleeve portion.
EXTERNAL EAR CANAL PRESSURE REGULATION DEVICE
An external ear canal pressure regulation device including a fluid flow generator, an earpiece having an axial earpiece bore, and a valved conduit fluidicly coupled to the fluid flow generator and the axial earpiece bore, whereby the earpiece has a compliant earpiece external surface configured to sealably engage an external ear canal as a barrier between an external ear canal pressure and an ambient pressure.

In an embodiment, a nerve stimulation system includes a headset and an earpiece which includes two or more ear-contacting elements, for example an ear canal insert, and a concha insert. Ear-contacting elements may be mounted onto an earpiece housing have projecting mounting structures, which provide mechanical and electrical connection between ear-contacting elements and housing through various materials and configurations. In an embodiment, a nerve stimulation system includes a neural stimulation subsystem including neural stimulation device control circuitry for use in combination with a personal computing device to control a neural stimulation device.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PHOTOBIOMODULATION
The present application is directed to systems, devices, and methods for diagnosing, preventing, and treating diseases and disorders through photobiomodulation therapy, either alone or in combination with one or more other therapies. More particularly, the present invention provides photon source devices configured to deliver light to a portion of an organism, which causes a physiological response within that light exposed organism. The invention also provides a system which includes one or more photon source devices and functionality for diagnosing or assessing a disease or disorder, and for monitoring responsiveness of the disease or disorder to treatment with the therapeutic light. Additionally, this application is directed to utilizing the present systems and devices in combination with known adjunctive therapies including devices, services, drugs, biologics, genetics and supplements to produce synergistic optimal therapeutic outcomes.
Auricular acupuncture patch to which energy and blood stimulating part is attached
An auricular acupuncture patch to which an energy and blood stimulating part is attached is disclosed. The auricular acupuncture patch according to the present invention is attached along the reflect point of the ear, thereby being effective for treating dizziness, headaches, gastritis, asthma, gastroduodenal ulcers, enteritis, abdominal pain, diarrhea, bowel dysfunction, menstrual irregularity, insomnia, migraines, phobias, nervous vomiting, high fever, skin pruritus, oligogalactia, indigestion, obesity, smoking, and the like, and enabling the replacement of a decorative part, which are formed on the auricular acupuncture patch having the energy and blood stimulating part attached thereto, so as to provide various aesthetic effectiveness and conveniences in replacement.
Light touch therapeutic headset
The present invention discloses a wireless and self-contained headset that delivers an electronic signal to a precise and self-locating position within bilateral conchae in both ears of a human user. The headset comprises an electronics housing that carries a specific waveform source. The waveform source generates the electronic signal, which is delivered simultaneously to both left and right ears of the human user. An array of silver electrodes housed within the bilateral earpieces cover with precision the location at the exact center of the relatively smooth plane of the conchae directly behind the external auditory meatus (ear opening/canal).
