Systems and methods for treating autonomic instability and medical conditions associated therewith
First Claim
1. A closed-loop therapy delivery system for treating autonomic instability or a medical condition associated therewith in a subject, the therapy delivery system comprising:
- a sensing component configured to detect at least one physiological parameter associated with autonomic instability or the medical condition associated therewith;
a delivery component configured for implantation on or about an autonomic nervous tissue target or a spinal nervous tissue target; and
a controller configured to automatically coordinate operation of the sensing and delivery components;
wherein the controller is programmed to deliver an electrical signal to the delivery component to modulate activity at the autonomic nervous tissue target or a spinal nervous tissue target and effectively treat the autonomic instability or the medical condition associated therewith;
wherein the controller is programmed to deliver an electrical signal having a frequency of about 10,000 Hz to about 25,000 Hz.

Abstract
One aspect of the present disclosure relates to a closed-loop therapy system for treating autonomic instability or a medical condition associated therewith in a subject. The therapy delivery system can include a sensing component, a delivery component, and a controller. The sensing component can be configured to detect at least one physiological parameter associated with autonomic instability or a medical condition associated therewith. The delivery component can be configured for implantation on or about an autonomic nervous tissue target or a spinal nervous tissue target. The controller can be configured to automatically coordinate operation of the sensing and delivery components. The controller can also be configured to deliver an electrical signal to the delivery component to modulate activity at the autonomic nervous tissue target or a spinal nervous tissue target and effectively treat autonomic instability or a medical condition associated therewith.

8. A method for treating autonomic instability or a medical condition associated therewith in a subject, the method comprising the steps of:
-
placing a therapy delivery device into electrical communication with an autonomic nervous tissue target or a spinal nervous tissue target associated with autonomic instability or the medical condition associated therewith; and activating the therapy delivery device to deliver an electrical signal to the autonomic nervous tissue target or a spinal nervous tissue target to effectively treat autonomic instability or the medical condition associated therewith in the subject; wherein the electrical signal has a frequency of about 10,000 Hz to about 25,000 Hz. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
