Title:
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR TRANSCUTANEOUS DIRECT CURRENT BLOCK TO ALTER NERVE CONDUCTION
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2022009436
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
To provide, in one aspect, a system that can alter conduction (tDCB) in a nerve by transcutaneous DC application (e.g., blocking or attenuation).SOLUTION: The system can include a current generator that generates a DC. A first skin electrode can be coupled to the current generator to deliver the DC transcutaneously through a target nerve to a second skin electrode. Conduction in the target nerve is directly altered as a result of an electric field generated in response to the DC.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
