Abstract:
A peripheral nerve stimulator can be used to stimulate a peripheral nerve to treat essential tremor, Parkinson tremor, and other forms of tremor. The peripheral nerve stimulator can be either a noninvasive surface stimulator or an implanted stimulator. Stimulation can be electrical, mechanical, or chemical. Stimulation can be delivered using either an open loop system or a closed loop system with feedback.

Claim (Index 32):
A wearable device for treating tremor in a patient, the device comprising:\n a control unit; a first peripheral nerve effector, comprising at least one stimulation electrode configured to be positioned to modulate an afferent nerve pathway; and at least one sensor configured to measure movement of the patient's extremity to characterize at least one of a tremor frequency or tremor period of the tremor; wherein the control unit comprises a processor and a memory for storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the device to: measure the movement of the patient's extremity to generate motion data; determine one or more of the tremor frequency or tremor period based on an analysis of the motion data; set one or more parameters of a first electrical stimulus based on one or more of the tremor frequency or period; deliver the first electrical stimulus to a first afferent nerve through the first peripheral nerve effector to reduce tremor in the patient's extremity; and deliver a second electrical stimulus offset in time from the first electrical stimulus by a predetermined fraction or multiple of a period of the tremor.
