    Abstract: Described here are stimulation systems and methods for stimulating one or more anatomical targets in a patient for treatment conditions such as dry eye. The stimulation system may include a controller and a micro stimulator. The components of the controller and micro stimulator may be implemented in a single unit or in separate devices. When implemented separately, the controller and micro stimulator may communicate wirelessly or via a wired connection. The micro stimulator may generate pulses from a signal received from the controller and apply the signal via one or more electrodes to an anatomical target. In some variations, the micro stimulator may include a passive generation circuit configured to generate a pulse based on a signal received from the controller.

    Abstract translation: 这里描述了用于刺激患者中的一种或多种解剖靶的刺激系统和方法,用于诸如干眼症的治疗条件。 刺激系统可以包括控制器和微型刺激器。 控制器和微型激励器的组件可以在单个单元中或在单独的设备中实现。 当单独实现时,控制器和微型激励器可以无线地或经由有线连接进行通信。 微型刺激器可以从从控制器接收的信号产生脉冲,并通过一个或多个电极将信号施加到解剖靶上。 在一些变型中,微型激励器可以包括被配置为基于从控制器接收的信号产生脉冲的无源发生电路。

    Abstract: Described here are systems, devices, and methods for implanting a nasal stimulator into nasal tissue and electrically stimulating nasal tissue. In some variations, a nasal microstimulator implantation system may comprise an implantation tool and an implantable microstimulator. An implantation tool may comprise a shaft and features to releasably attach a microstimulator. A microstimulator may comprise a passive stimulation circuit and one or more electrodes. In other variations, a nasal implantation system may additionally comprise one or more additional devices, such as a controller, an electrical probe, and/or a dissection tool.

    Abstract: A stimulation system for treating a condition (e.g., dry eye, Meibomian gland disease) of a subject includes a stimulator configured to deliver a stimulus to external facial tissue of the subject, at least one sensor configured to detect a characteristic of the subject, and a control system in communication with the sensor and configured to adjust the stimulus at least partially based on the detected subject characteristic. In some variations, the control system may be configured to adjust the stimulus at least partially based on a detected environmental condition. The stimulator may be configured to activate a nerve of the subject, thereby increasing tear production. The stimulation system may, for example, include a device configured to be worn by a subject such as eyeglasses or a mask, or held by a subject such as handheld stimulator device.
