Abstract

Systems and methods for non-invasive management of head pain are disclosed. The system includes a headgear configured to be worn on a patient's head. The headgear can include a base and an extension coupled to the base, and a number of therapy devices removably or adjustably attached to the base or the extension. The therapy devices can deliver various modes of therapeutic energy at respective target sites on the head, including neuromodulation of peripheral pain pathways and/or the cerebral cortex, and therapy modalities to facilitate or enhance the neuromodulation effects. The system can include a portable device that enables the user to control the therapy devices on the headgear. The user can use the portable device to optionally access a web-based repository to acquire information about headgear usage from other users, and use that information to guide the programming of the therapy devices.

Description

[0001] priority claim [0002] This application claims the benefit of priority under 35 U.S.C § 119(e) to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 62 / 267,435, filed December 15, 2015, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] This document relates generally to medical devices, and more particularly to systems, devices, and methods for delivering therapy to treat headaches. Background technique [0004] Headaches may be experienced in only one part of the head or over the entire head. Clinically, headaches can include migraines, cluster headaches, tension or sinus headaches, and other types of headaches. Migraine is among the most common patient complaints encountered in neurological practice and is a leading cause of emergency room visits. Migraine symptoms may include pounding headache, nausea, vomiting, and light sensitivity. About 20 percent of migraineurs may experience an aura, most commonly a visual aura. Migraines ca...
