PRESCRIPTION PAD FOR TREATMENT OF INFLAMMATORY DISORDERS
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An interface module for translating a prescribed treatment dosage for a patient into neurostimulation parameters tailored to the patient for treatment of inflammation using an implanted neurostimulator to modulate the inflammatory reflex without substantially affecting the cardiac system, the interface module comprising:
- an input configured to receive or modify a dosage input comprising a prescribed treatment dosage for the patient;
a converter configured to convert the dosage input into patient treatment regime parameters comprising a current or voltage intensity, a pulse width, a stimulation frequency, an on-time, and an off-time; and
an output configured to transmit the treatment regime parameters for receipt by an implanted neurostimulator.

11. An interface module for translating a prescribed treatment dosage for a patient into neurostimulation parameters tailored to the patient for treatment of inflammation using an implanted neurostimulator to modulate the inflammatory reflex, the interface module comprising:
-
an input configured to receive or modify a dosage input comprising a prescribed treatment dosage for the patient, further configured to receive patient-specific data input; a converter configured to convert the dosage input and patient-specific data input into patient-specific patient treatment regime parameters comprising a current or voltage intensity, a pulse width, a stimulation frequency, an on-time, and an off-time; and an output configured to transmit the treatment regime parameters for receipt by an implanted neurostimulator.

12. A system for controlling the administration of electrical stimulation to treat inflammation from an implanted stimulator, the system comprising:
-
an electrical prescription pad, the prescription pad comprising an input configured to receive or modify a prescribed treatment dosage; a converter configured to convert the dosage input into treatment regime parameters comprising a current or voltage intensity, a pulse width, a stimulation frequency, an on-time, and an off-time; and an external controller configured to receive a treatment regime from the electrical prescription pad and to control an implanted controller. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)

22. A method of prescribing the treatment of inflammation in a patient by stimulation of the inflammatory reflex from an implanted stimulator, the method comprising:
-
entering a patient'"'"'s identity into the electronic prescription pad; entering a patient'"'"'s treatment prescription into an electronic prescription pad; converting the treatment prescription into a specific treatment regime for that patient, wherein the specific treatment regime comprises a current or voltage intensity, a pulse width, a stimulation frequency, an on-time, and an off-time; and transmitting the specific treatment regime to a controller configured to control operation of an electrical stimulator implanted in the patient. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29)
