Abstract:
Systems and methods for improving or preventing a condition, such as the treatment of pain syndromes and migraine headaches are disclosed. A method for treating pain can include one or more of the steps including identifying a region of the patient comprising glabrous tissue; positioning the region of the patient comprising glabrous tissue into an enclosed chamber; adjusting the relative humidity of the enclosed chamber sufficient to create a physiologic effect. The method need not involve altering the temperature within the enclosed chamber.
Abstract:
The problem of the present invention is to provide a dryer that can simply and effectively massage the scalp. According to the solution of the present invention the main body of this dryer (1), which dries the scalp and provides vibratory stimulation to the scalp, is provided with a blower (16) which sucks air from the outside and blows the air towards a blower port (12), a heater (14, 15) which heats the blown air, a scalp massage attachment (11) which is attached in the blowing direction of the blower port (12), and a vibrator (13) which generates vibration to vibrate the scalp massage attachment.

Abstract:
Systems, methods, and devices used to treat eyelids, meibomian glands, ducts, and surrounding tissue are described herein. In some embodiments, an eye treatment device is disclosed, which includes a scleral shield positionable proximate an inner surface of an eyelid, the scleral shield being made of, or coated with, an energy-absorbing material activated by a light energy, and an energy transducer positionable outside of the eyelid, the energy transducer configured to provide light energy at one or more wavelengths, including a first wavelength selected to heat the energy-absorbing material. Wherein, when the eyelid is positioned between the energy transducer and the scleral shield, the light energy from the energy transducer and the heated energy-absorbing material of the scleral shield conductively heats a target tissue region sufficiently to melt meibum within meibomian glands located within or adjacent to the target tissue region.
Abstract:
Apparatus for automatic delivery of chest compressions and ventilation to a patient, the apparatus including: a chest compressing device (12) configured to deliver compression phases during which pressure is applied to compress the chest and decompression phases during which approximately zero pressure is applied to the chest, a ventilator (15) configured to deliver positive, negative, or approximately zero pressure to the airway; control circuitry and processor, wherein the circuitry and processor are configured to cause the chest compressing device to repeatedly deliver a set containing a plurality of systolic flow cycles, each systolic flow cycle comprising a systolic decompression phase and a systolic compression phase, and at least one diastolic flow cycle interspersed between sets of systolic flow cycles, each diastolic flow cycle comprising a diastolic decompression phase and a diastolic compression phase, wherein the diastolic decompression phase is substantially longer than the systolic decompression phase.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a positive pressure chamber for treating extremities, which is used for treating extremity swelling or edema, rehabilitation, prophylaxis for deep venous thrombosis, relieving extremity pain, improvement of extremity skin, and the like.
Abstract:

A fan motor (15), a heating element (16) and a temperature controlling circuit (23) are mounted on the housing (13). A hollow air-directing sheath (14) is situated at the air outlet (12) of the housing (13). An energy-gathering member and a plurality of exhaust ports (21) are provided on the air-directing sheath (14). A temperature sensor (22) is mounted on the air-directing sheath (14).
Abstract:
A body treatment apparatus comprises: a support structure; at least one footboard hanging on said support structure so as to allow at least an oscillatory movement thereof in the direction of the gravitational action; said footboard being suitable for supporting at least a part of body to be treated; means for stressing said footboard with an oscillation in the direction of the gravitational action, so that on at least said part of the body supported by said footboard, an action is determined suitable for varying the effect of the gravitational action on said at least one part of the body; wherein the apparatus further comprises means for inducing onto the same at least one part of the body supported by said footboard an action suitable for determining a hyperthermy in at least a portion of said at least one part of the body; control and actuation means that actuate and control at least the concurrent operation of said means for stressing the footboard and said hyperthermy inducing means suitable for warming in a controlled manner the at least one portion of said at least one part of the body oscillating on the footboard.
