Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Methods and devices for treating bronchial constriction related to asthma and anaphylaxis wherein the treatment includes providing an electrical impulse to a selected region of the vagus nerve and/or the lungs of a patient suffering from bronchial constriction.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A method of treating bronchoconstriction, the method comprising: applying an electrical impulse through a single electrical circuit to a selected region of a parasympathetic nervous system of a patient, wherein the electrical impulse is sufficient to stimulate afferent parasympathetic nerve fibers to reduce a magnitude of constriction of bronchial smooth muscle in the patient and wherein the electrical impulse has a frequency of 1000 Hz to 2500 Hz…
