`SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR THERAPY
`
`CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED
`APPLICATIONS
`
`[0001] Filed m pursuant on the provisional Appl. No.
`61/291,543
`
`FIELD OF THE INVENTION
`
`[0002] This invention generally relates to systems and
`methods for medical therapy devices and more particularly,
`some embodiments relate to systems and methods for elec(cid:173)
`trotherapy stimulation.
`
`BACKGROUND
`
`[0003] Various forms of bio-electrical or other types of
`therapy are known throughout the medical community. These
`can include cranial electrotherapy, vacuum therapy, and ultra(cid:173)
`sound therapy, as well as other types. The therapies may be
`used to relieve a number of patient health issues. For example,
`cranial electrotherapy has been used to potentially provide
`relief from insonmia, depression, anxiety, drug addiction, and
`cognitive dysfunction.
`[0004] The therapy regimes have been used to treat various
`symptoms, conditions, and aliments. New treatment regimes
`and combinations of treatment regimes and protocols may be
`used to potentially provide different patient benefits or
`increased patient benefits such as muscle strengthening,
`decreased fat volume, improved circulation, stress relief,
`relaxation, ATP predication, or increased energy.
`
`SUMMARY
`
`[0005] An electrotherapy stimulation device is provided. In
`an embodiment the electrotherapy stimulation device may
`include a cranial electrical stimulation module with a pulse
`generator system, a processor, and a memory. The processor
`can be configured to control the pulse generation system and
`the memory can be configured to store instructions that cause
`the processor to cause the pulse generator to generate cranial
`stimulation waveforms.
`[0006]
`In some embodiments, the electrotherapy stimula(cid:173)
`tion device may also include a body stimulation module that
`is coupled to the cranial stimulation system and configured to
`operate in conjunction with it. One example body stimulation
`module is an electrical muscle stimulation module. The elec(cid:173)
`trical muscle stimulation module can provide a variety of
`waveforms to stimulate the abdominal muscles, buttocks, or
`other muscle areas within a patient's body.
`[0007] Other example body stimulation modules can
`include microcurrent therapy, laser treatment, micro-mas(cid:173)
`sage, massage, acupuncture, or other bodywork. Addition(cid:173)
`ally, multiple types of body work might be combined in a
`single dual therapy system, for example, electrical muscle
`stimulation and massage could be combined together in some
`example systems. Such a system might provide electrical
`stimulation to the body followed by a massage. Additionally,
`the body work might be provided by a module such as the
`electrical muscle stimulation module, a massage module,
`microcurrent module, etc. In some cases, however, a method
`may include bodywork performed by a person in conjunction
`with cranial electrical stimulation. It will be understood that,
`in some examples, an electrical muscle stimulation module
`may also be able to provide microcurrent therapy.
`
`[0008]
`In some embodiments the electrotherapy stimula(cid:173)
`tion device may be used to stimulate a patient's mind and
`body by following a protocol that can include predetermined
`e-yoga, power vector, classical sequence, dynamic rotation,
`micromassage, and body care. Such a sequence may include
`multiple sessions with different treatments or combinations
`of treatments performed as the treatments progress.

`
`DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF SELECTED
`EMBODIMENTS
`
`[0016] Reference will now be made to figures wherein like
`structures will be provided with like reference designations. It
`is understood that the drawings are diagrammatic and sche(cid:173)
`matic representations of exemplary embodiments of the
`present invention, and are neither limiting nor necessarily
`drawn to scale. The words "including," "has," and "having,"
`as used herein, including the claims, shall have the same
`meaning as the word "comprising."
`[0017] FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating an example
`dual therapy system 100 in accordance with one embodiment
`of the systems and methods described herein. Dual therapy
`system 100 includes a mind stimulation portion and a body
`stimulation portion. The mind stimulation portion can be a
`cranial electrical stimulation (CES) module 102.
`[0018] CES module 102 may provide treatment be trans(cid:173)
`mitting small electrical current pulses across a patient's head.
`In some embodiments, the current used in conjunction with
`CES may be between O and 3 mA. Generally CES might
`sometimes be used for anxiety, depression, insomnia, drug
`addiction, or other patient issues. CES is also sometimes
`referred
`to as "electro-sleep
`therapy," "neuro-electric
`therapy," or "transcranial electrotherapy." The CES module
`102 can be used to perform "e-Yoga." E-Yoga involves pass(cid:173)
`ing microcurrents of electricity across the brain.

`
`[0019] The CES module can be used in conjunction with
`body stimulation provided by a body stimulation module 104.
`In the illustrated embodiment of FIG. 1 body stimulation is
`provided to the patient by the body stimulation module 104 as
`part of a larger dual therapy system 100. It will be understood
`that, in some embodiments, however, body stimulation may
`be provided by a separate stand-alone system. In other words,
`some embodiments of the systems and methods described
`herein relate to stand-alone body stimulation modules, wave(cid:173)
`forms for body stimulation modules, or both, while other
`embodiments of the systems and methods described herein
`relate to dual therapy systems. Generally, features and wave(cid:173)
`forms of body stimulation module 104 can be applied to
`stand-alone body stimulation modules. Additionally, in some
`embodiments, non-device based body stimulation can be
`used. For example, a massage might be performed by a mas(cid:173)
`sage module or a person can perform a massage.
`[0020] FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating an example
`body stimulation module in accordance with the embodiment
`illustrated in FIG. 1. Body stimulation can include, but is not
`limited to, electrical muscle stimulation (EMS), microcurrent
`therapy, laser treatment, micro-massage, massage, acupunc(cid:173)
`ture, or other bodywork. As illustrated in FIG. 1, various
`embodiments of the systems and methods described herein
`may provide the body stimulation using a module within the
`dual therapy system 100. For example, an EMS module may
`be combined with a CES module to provide multiple types of
`therapy to a patient. Similarly, other modules such as
`Microcurrent modules, laser treatment modules, micro-mas(cid:173)
`sager modules, massage modules, automated acupuncture
`modules, or other automated bodywork modules may be
`combined with CES. Additionally, multiple body stimulation
`modules 104 might be combined with one or more CES
`modules 102. For example, an EMS module and a laser treat(cid:173)
`ment module might both be combined with a CES module
`102.
`[0021] As discussed above, while some embodiments of
`the systems and methods described herein may combine CES
`with device-based treatments, other embodiments may use a
`CES device in combination with treatments that can some(cid:173)
`times be non-device based treatments, such as massage, acu(cid:173)
`puncture, or other body work.
`[0022] Such a device may provide various EMS waveforms
`such as the waveforms discussed herein. In some embodi(cid:173)
`ments of the systems and methods described herein these
`waveforms, generated by the EMS module may to provide
`lymphatic drainage or body contouring for a patient. Treat(cid:173)
`ments for other aliments, symptoms, or patient issues may
`also be possible using a dual therapy system 100, stand alone
`body stimulation, or the waveforms described herein.
`[0023] The waveforms can include a power vector wave(cid:173)
`form, a sequential stimulator waveform, dynamic rotation,
`and micromassage. An example power vector waveform that
`can be used in conjunction with an EMS module, either
`within a system 100 or in a standalone system are illustrated
`in FIG. 3. In one embodiment a power vector wave form may
`be generated using two medium-frequency, sinusoidal signals
`300 and 302 that can intersect deep within the tissues of a
`patient to generate a third signal 304. The third signal is a
`combination of the two signals.
`[0024] For example, in one embodiment the first signal 300
`may be generated at 5000 Hz. The second signal 302 can
`sweep between 5000 Hz to 5299 Hz. In the time domain graph
`of FIG. 3 the first signal 300 is at 5000 Hz and the second
`
`signal 302 is at 5299 Hz, the high end of the frequency sweep.
`The frequency domain graphs illustrate the first signal 300 at
`5000 Hz, the second signal 302 sweeping between 5000 Hz
`and 5299 Hz as indicated at reference character 302. Note that
`the figures are not to scale.
`[0025] Signals 300 and 302 can combine to generate a third
`signal 304, which varies between de (0 Hz) and 288 Hz. (A
`high frequency signal 306 at approximately 10 kHz, which
`also varies up to 10,288 Hz may also be generated as a result
`of the combination. The higher frequency signal might not
`provide the desired therapy for the patient, however, because
`the higher frequency signal may not propagate well through
`the patient's body.)
`[0026]
`In one embodiment, sweeping can entail increasing
`frequency from 5000 Hz to 5299 Hz and the starting the
`sweep over at 5000 Hz. In another embodiment, the system
`may sweep up from 5000 Hz to 5299 Hz and then sweep down
`from 5299 Hz to 5000 Hz. Yet another embodiment may
`include both types of sweeps or other possible sweeping
`patterns.
`[0027]
`It will be understood that other signal frequencies
`might also be used in dual therapy systems or EMS systems.
`For example a signal from approximately 2500 Hz to 6000 Hz
`might be used for the first and second signals, with the second
`signal varying by Oto 288 Hz or more. At the lower frequency
`end (approximately 2500 Hz) the signals may increase
`muscle bulking, which is not desired in some embodiments.
`At the higher frequency end (approximately 6000 Hz) the
`signals may not propagate through the body as desired. It will
`be understood, however, that the systems and methods
`described herein might be combined with higher or lower
`frequencies than these described based on other desired
`results, e.g., muscle bulking; different body types which
`might propagate signals differently, etc.
`[0028] Other frequency variations may also be used,
`including a second signal that varies by an amount greater
`than 288 Hz, a second signal that combines with the first to
`generate a third signal that does not include a de (0 Hz com(cid:173)
`ponent), or other variations. Additionally, in some embodi(cid:173)
`ments, both the first and second signals may be varied to
`generate a third signal.
`[0029] The illustrated embodiment of the power vector can
`include an IFC with an inbuilt 100% scan at 5000 Hz. The
`sweep frequency can be from 0 to 299 Hz, 1 to 299 Hz, or
`other sweep frequencies. Additionally, the sweep time can be
`10 second up from Oto 299 Hz and 10 seconds down 299 Hz
`to 0 Hz. The output may be provided to the patient using one
`or more pairs of electrodes. In one embodiment twelve elec(cid:173)
`trodes ( six pairs) might be used. These electrodes can be used
`for treatment to various body parts, including, for example the
`waistline, buttocks, or thighs.
`[0030] The signals can cause small currents to flow within
`the tissues of the patient. The current may radiate from deep
`within the tissues to the surface of the patient's body stimu(cid:173)
`lating the body and generally generating torsional move(cid:173)
`ments within the patient's muscles. These movements may
`stimulate fat cells and initiate a decrease in fat volume.
`[0031]
`In one embodiment, the area of maximum stimula(cid:173)
`tion may form a "four-leaf clover" shape. As the current is
`increased this four leaf clover may expand to envelop a larger
`and larger area. Example stimulation patterns are illustrated
`in FIGS. 4 and 5.
`[0032] Circuit I is formed between two electrodes 502 and
`504 placed on a patient's body. These electrodes 502 and 504

`
`are energized such that current flows between them. Simi(cid:173)
`larly, circuit II is formed between two electrodes 506 and 508
`placed on a patient's body such that current flows between
`them when the electrodes are energized. The pattern illus(cid:173)
`trated in FIG. 4 may be generated using the same or a similar
`electrode patter at lower signal intensity.
`[0033] FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example series of
`stimulations in a treatment waveform in accordance with the
`systems and methods described herein. A first series of stimu(cid:173)
`lations 602 may include three treatment sequences, EMS!,
`EMS2, and EMS3.These sequences 602 can be followed by a
`rest period 604 and then repeated 606 and followed by
`another rest period 608. The sequences EMS!, EMS2, and
`EMS3; followed by the rest period can be repeated according
`to a treatment protocol; however, it will be understood by
`those of skill in the art that other sequences may used.
`[0034]
`In one embodiment the total sequence time can be 2
`minutes 30 seconds with a 30 second rest period after the
`sequence. Accordingly, each sequence, EMS!, EMS2, and
`EMS3, may be 50 seconds long. In other embodiments, how(cid:173)
`ever, the length of each sequence EMS!, EMS2, and EMS3
`are not required to be equal.
`[0035] The sequences may be applied to a patient using
`multiple electrodes, e.g., 3 outputs with 12 electrodes. These
`electrodes may be attached to a patient to provide stimulation
`to a patient's abs, waistline, buttocks, or thighs; as well as
`other locations.
`[0036] Sequence EMSl can be a symmetrical biphasic
`square wave with a pulse width of 200 microseconds, a pulse
`rate of 100 Hz, and a sweep frequency of 40 to 100 Hz. The
`sweep time may be a two second sweep up increasing in
`frequency followed by a two second sweep decreasing in
`frequency. Sequence EMS2 can be a symmetrical biphasic
`square wave with a pulse width of350 microseconds and the
`pulse rate of 30 Hz. Sequence EMS3 can be a symmetrical
`biphasic square wave with a pulse width of350 microseconds
`and a pulse rate of 100 Hz.
`[0037]
`It will be understood that while biphasic square
`waves are discussed with respect to EMS!, EMS2, and
`EMS3, other embodiment may include a square wave or other
`signal with a de offset. Accordingly, the signal may have a
`voltage that changes between O volts and a positive voltage V
`or between O volts and a negative voltage -V. Alternatively,
`the signal may be de offset such that the signal has a voltage
`that changes between Vl volts and V2 volts, where Vl may be
`negative, V2 may be positive, and the magnitudes of each
`might not be equal. Depending on the voltage of the de offset,
`however, Vl and V2 may both be positive or both be negative.
`[0038] Contractions are times when a signal is applied.
`Relaxations are times when no signal is applied. Contractions
`and relaxations can occur within a sequence. The relaxations
`within a sequence may be in addition to a "rest" at the end of
`the EMS!, EMS2, and EMS3 series. Each of the EMS!,
`EMS2, and EMS3 sequences can include a contraction time
`of 6 seconds followed by a relaxation time of four seconds.
`Additionally, a ramp up of 4 seconds and a ramp down of four
`seconds may be included between relaxation and contraction
`times.
`[0039] FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating placement of elec(cid:173)
`trodes and patterns of signal movements between electrodes
`in accordance with the systems and methods described
`herein.
`[0040] As illustrated in FIG. 7, dynamic rotation can be
`performed, for example, on a patient's abdominal region. The
`
`left and right sides, which may be from the perspective of the
`person performing the treatment or the person being treated,
`can be operated independently from each other. For example,
`left electrodes interact with other left electrodes, while right
`electrodes interact with right electrodes. It will be under(cid:173)
`stood, however, that some leakage of current flow might occur
`between left and right and that in other embodiments, elec(cid:173)
`trodes on opposite sides might interact with each other.
`(Leakage currents might occur with respect to other wave(cid:173)
`forms as well.)
`[0041] One example
`four
`include
`treatment may
`sequences. The first sequence can provide stimulation
`between lL and 2L and stimulation between lR and 2R.
`These stimulations can occur at the same time. The second
`sequence can provide stimulation between 3L and 4L and
`stimulation between 3R and 4R. These stimulations can also
`occur at the same time.
`[0042] The third and fourth sequences can provide stimu(cid:173)
`lation between multiple electrodes on the same side at the
`same time. For example, in the third sequence, stimulation
`can be provided between lL and 3L while stimulation is also
`being provided between 2L and 4L. The third sequence can
`also include stimulation between lR and 3R at the same time
`as stimulation is being provided between 2R and 4R. Addi(cid:173)
`tionally, all of these third sequence stimulations may occur at
`the same time. The fourth sequence can include stimulation
`between lL and 2L while stimulation is also being provided
`between 3L and 4L. The fourth sequence can also include
`stimulation between lR and 2R at the same time as stimula(cid:173)
`tion is being provided between 3R and 4R. Additionally,
`similarly to the third sequence, all of these fourth sequence
`stimulations may occur at the same time.
`[0043]
`In some embodiments each sequence can be seven
`seconds long. A rest period of five seconds can be included
`after sequence 4. Accordingly, the series of sequences may be
`32 seconds long. The dynamic rotation series can include
`multiple four sequence series and rest periods.
`[0044]
`In some embodiments, the dynamic rotation series
`can use a "premod" signal. The premod signal can be 5000 Hz
`with a sweep frequency from 40 to 80 Hz and a sweep time of
`two seconds increasing from 40 Hz to 80 Hz and two seconds
`decreasing from 40 Hz to 80 Hz. Various embodiments use
`two outputs that drive a total of eight electrodes. Some
`embodiments may use other sweep frequencies, such as 40 to
`5000 Hz or preferably 50 to 100 Hz.
`[0045] After the various other treatments described above,
`cool down and body care treatments can occur. These treat(cid:173)
`ments can include microcurrent therapy, skin tightening treat(cid:173)
`ments, a rinse to remove the seaweed gel, hydration treat(cid:173)
`ments, etc. Additionally, aftertreatment measurements,
`photos, or both may be taken. (These may be compared to
`pretreatment measurements and photos, if they were taken.)
`[0046] Microcurrent therapy can include a symmetrical
`biphasic square wave with a pulse width for a 50% duty cycle.
`The frequency of the square wave can be swept between 20
`Hz and 150 Hz with sweep times of 10 seconds increasing
`from 20 Hz to 150 Hz and 10 seconds decreasing from 150 Hz
`down to 20 Hz. It will be understood that, as discussed above,
`while a biphasic square wave is discussed in the example,
`other embodiment may include a square wave or other signal
`with a de offset. Accordingly, the signal may have a voltage
`that changes between O volts and a positive voltage V or 0
`volts and a negative voltage - V. Alternatively, the signal may
`be de offset such that the signal may have a voltage that

`
`changes between Vl volts and V2 volts, where Vl may be
`negative, V2 may be positive, and the magnitudes of each
`might not be equal. Depending on the voltage of the de offset,
`however, Vl and V2 may both be positive or both be negative.
`[0047] Some embodiments of the systems and methods
`described herein may a standard protocol that is a minimum
`of six treatments of approximately 60 minutes each. It will be
`understood, however, that other treatment protocols may be
`used. These other protocols may include longer or shorter
`treatment time, a fewer or greater number of total treatments,
`or some combination of these. In some cases the systems that
`implement the treatment protocol may operate with minimal
`intervention, e.g., for initial set up, periodic monitoring, etc.
`In one example, six treatment sessions are used. The
`[0048]
`protocol has a first session which can include e-yoga treat(cid:173)
`ment, power vector treatment, micro-massage treatment, and
`body care. A second session can include e-yoga treatment,
`classical sequence treatment, micro-massage treatment, and
`body care. A third session can include e-yoga treatment,
`classical sequence treatment, micro-massage treatment, and
`body care. Sessions four through six can include e-yoga treat(cid:173)
`ment, dynamic rotation treatment, micro-massage treatment,
`and body care. Other example protocols may include six to
`ten sessions or more. It will also be understood that other
`protocols may also be used with the systems and methods
`described herein. These other protocols may include different
`combinations of eyoga treatment, a power vector treatment,
`classical sequence treatment, dynamic rotation treatment,
`micro-massage treatment, and body care
