Non-invasive vagal nerve stimulation to treat disorders

Devices, systems and methods are disclosed for treating a variety of diseases and disorders that are primarily or at least partially driven by an imbalance in neurotransmitters in the brain, such as asthma, COPD, depression, anxiety, epilepsy, fibromyalgia, and the like. The invention involves the use of an energy source comprising magnetic and / or electrical energy that is transmitted non-invasively to, or in close proximity to, a selected nerve to temporarily stimulate, block and / or modulate the signals in the selected nerve such that neural pathways are activated to release inhibitory neurotransmitters in the patient's brain.

Treatment of chronic pain associated with drug or radiation therapy

InactiveUS20050032782A1Relieve painBiocideAnimal repellantsDuloxetineBrain Monoamines
Methods for treating chronic widespread pain associated with drug therapy or radiation therapy are described. The method generally involves administering a therapeutically effective amount of a dual or tri reuptake inhibitor of a specific type or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. Preferably the compound is a non-tricyclic dual reuptake inhibitor. The most preferred compound is milnacipran or a bioequivalent or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. Other preferred compounds are duloxetine and venlafaxine or a bioequivalent or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. In yet another embodiment, a therapeutically effective amount of a non-tricyclic triple reuptake inhibitor (“TRI”) compound of a specific type, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, is administered. The TRI compounds are characterized by their ability to block the reuptake (and, hence, increase central concentrations of) the three primary brain monoamines: serotonin, noradrenaline, and dopamine.

Method of diagnosing irritable bowel syndrome and other disorders caused by small intestinal bacterial overgrowth

InactiveUS20050008652A1Eradicate small intestinal bacterial overgrowthSymptoms improvedBiocideAntipyreticAutoimmune conditionAutoimmune disease
Disclosed is a method of diagnosing irritable bowel syndrome, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, depression, attention deficit / hyperactivity disorder, autoimmune diseases, such as multiple sclerosis and systemic lupus erythematosus, or Crohn's disease, which involves detecting the presence of small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) in a human subject having at least one symptom associated with a suspected diagnosis of any of those diagnostic categories. Also disclosed is a method of treating these disorders, and other disorders caused by SIBO, that involves at least partially eradicating a SIBO condition in the human subject. The method includes administration of anti-microbial or probiotic agents, or normalizing intestinal motility by employing a prokinetic agent. The method improves symptoms, including hyperalgesia related to SIBO and disorders caused by SIBO. Also disclosed is a kit for the diagnosis or treatment of irritable bowel syndrome, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, depression, attention deficit / hyperactivity disorder, autoimmune diseases, or Crohn's disease.

Diagnosis and treatment of human dormancy-related sequellae

New methods for diagnosis and treatment of human dormancy syndrome-related sequellae are provided. Human dormancy syndrome (HDS) is characterized by elevated serum ratio of rT3 / fT3 compared to a population of normal subjects. HDS includes fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, cancer, autoimmune disease, obesity and related dormancy conditions. Dormancy and HDS-related sequellae are imposed on humans by infection with lipopolysaccharide (LPS; or endotoxin)-producing organisms, especially those that are intracellular and those that create antigens that stimulate the TLR pathways. In such instances, the elimination or neutralization of the LPS signal along with the infectious source is required to impact the sequellae of HDS. Treatment includes use of novel and non-obvious doses of antibiotics, optionally including agents that decrease the adverse effects of endotoxin.

Devices and methods for treating medical disorders with evoked potentials and vagus nerve stimulation

Devices, systems and methods for treating medical disorders, such as migraine or other primary headaches, or fibromyalgia, by noninvasive electrical stimulation of a vagus nerve, used in conjunction with the measurement of evoked potentials (EPs). The system comprises a stimulator that is applied to the surface of the patient's neck to apply electrical impulses sufficient to stimulate a cervical vagus nerve, scalp electrodes that are used to measure EPs that are evoked by that stimulation, feedback or biofeedback circuits to vary the stimulation based upon EP characteristics, and other sensory stimulation modalities that produce EPs. The system is preferably used to optimize the placement of the stimulator, to test whether a patient is a suitable candidate for treatment using vagus nerve stimulation, and to select the stimulation parameters that optimized acute or chronic treatment, e.g., by correcting an EP habituation deficit.
