    Abstract: Proposed are methods and systems for thermally and/or vibrationally stimulating at least one of a laryngeal nerve or a thyroid using a neckband stimulator to treat at least one of a swallow disorder, a voice disorder, chronic cough, or thyroid related diseases. The neckband stimulator may include first and second thermal energy providers each providing a thermal energy on a surface thereof. The neckband stimulator may include first and second conductive pads configured to receive the thermal energy. The method may include placing the neckband at least partially around a neck of a patient, and moving the neckband such that the conductive pads contact different portions of the neck. The method may also include controlling the thermal energy providers to thermally conduct heat away from or to at least one of the laryngeal nerve or thyroid through the conductive pads.

    Abstract: A traction device has a frame, a first bladder portion, a second bladder portion, and a third inflatable bladder portion. The first bladder expands in an outward direction a distance greater than in a transverse direction. The second bladder expands in a first angular direction. The second bladder is positioned generally inferior to and to the side of the first bladder. The third bladder expands in a second angular direction. Upon expanding in the outward direction, the first bladder bears against the back of the user's neck. Upon expanding in the transverse direction, the first bladder applies an angular traction to the cervical spine. Upon expanding in the first angular direction, the second bladder bears angularly against the back of the user's upper thoracic region. Upon expanding in the third angular direction, the third bladder bears angularly against the user's occiput.

    Abstract: A power-driven neck clamping mechanism for physical traction therapy includes a rail platform disposed on a base and a head rest member disposed on the rail platform. A clamping mechanism for retaining a user's neck includes a power-driven drive device, a transmission member, and two displacement members. The power-driven drive device is connected with the transmission member. The displacement members are movably disposed on the transmission member. The displacement members are disposed at two sides of the neck rest portion. The power-driven drive device drives the transmission member to actuate. The displacement members are controlled by the transmission member to displace. The displacement members can be moved to approach the user's neck to clamp and retain the neck, or the displacement members can be moved away from the user's neck to release the neck. The user can control the force to clamp the neck conveniently and finely.
