Method and system to provide therapy or alleviate symptoms of involuntary movement disorders by providing complex and/or rectangular electrical pulses to vagus nerve(s)

A method and system for providing rectangular and/or complex electrical pulses for neuromodulating vagus nerve(s) and/or its branches, to provide therapy for involuntary movement disorders (including Parkinson's disease and epilepsy), comprises implantable and external components. Complex electrical pulses comprises pulses which are configured to be one of non-rectangular, multi-level, biphasic, or pulses with varying amplitude during the pulse. The electrical pulses to vagus nerve(s) may be stimulating and/or blocking. The stimulation and/or blocking to vagus nerve(s) may be provided using one of the following pulse generation means: a) an implanted stimulus-receiver with an external stimulator; b) an implanted stimulus-receiver comprising a high value capacitor for storing charge, used in conjunction with an external stimulator; c) a programmer-less implantable pulse generator (IPG) which is operable with a magnet; d) a microstimulator; e) a programmable implantable pulse generator; f) a combination implantable device comprising both a stimulus-receiver and a programmable implantable pulse generator (IPG); and g) an implantable pulse generator (IPG) comprising a rechargeable battery. The pulse generator means comprises predetermined/pre-packaged programs. In one embodiment, the pulse generation means may also comprise telemetry means, for remote interrogation and/or programming of said pulse generation means utilizing a wide area network.

Virtual reality for movement disorder diagnosis and/or treatment

Methods and / or systems for diagnosing, monitoring and / or treating persons at risk for falling and / or other pathological conditions. In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, people are diagnosed before they actually start falling. Optionally, the diagnosis includes trying out and identifying one or more fall triggers using virtual reality tools. Optionally or alternatively, treatment includes training the persons using situations and / or triggers which are determined to be relevant for that person.
