Abstract

See full text

A kit of parts and method for the control of a delivery of an electric or electromagnetic pulse to a vagus nerve by an implanted stimulating device is provided. The kit of parts

    includes an implantable stimulating device (10)that includes a cuff electrode/optrode for being coupled to a vagus nerve (Vn) of a patient to be treated, andan encapsulation unit (50) suitable for being subcutaneously implanted at a location separated from the vagus nerve coupling unit (60), and enclosing an energy pulse generator (51s), for delivering electrical or optical energy pulses, and coupled to the cuff electrode/optrode by one or more electrical conductors (41e) and/or optical fibres (41f),an external controller device (100)of the kit includes laryngeal electrodes (161) suitable for being coupled to a laryngeal region (Lx) of a patient for measuring a laryngeal electrical activity at the laryngeal region, the laryngeal electrodes being coupled toan external control unit (150). The unit includesa setting unit (151) for entering control pulse parameters of a control energy pulsean external emitter (153e) configured for sending a signal to the implanted controller (54) to deliver to the cuff electrode/optrode one or more control energy pulses defined by the control pulse parameters entered in the setting unit, anda visual (155) or acoustic (157) display indicative of the intensity of the laryngeal electrical activity.
