PREAMBLE TO THE DESCRIPTION
The current invention pertains to therapeutic neurostimulation devices, specifically a wearable
headset that treats PTSD and other anxiety-related disorders by combining audio stimulation and
haptic feedback. The idea allows for controlled and adaptive sensory stimulation to help with
trauma processing and emotional regulation duriug therapist-assisted treatment sessions.
The neurological system is frequently-dysregulated in PTSD and similar psychological disorders,
leading to increased stress reactions, intrusive thoughts, and emotional distress. Existing
therapeutic approaches that have shown promise in treating trauma include exposure therapy,
binaural beat therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). However,
an integrated, technologically advanced approach that uses precise, adaptive neurostimulation to
improve therapeutic outcomes is still required.
The present invention offers a wearable neurostimulation headset that synchronizes haptic
feedback and auditory stimulation to help with PTSD therapy. The headset consists of the
following components:
• Adaptive Neurostimulation Algorithm -a software-controlled system that synchronizes haptic
feedback with auditory signals and allows for therapist customization or real-time adjustments
based on the patient's needs.
• Auditory Stimulation Module- an integrated sound system (using binaural beats, white noise,
or guided audio therapy) to entrain brainwave activity, promote relaxation, and improve coguitive
engagement during therapy.
• Haptic Stimulation Module- a system of vibration actuators placed strategically on the head
and neck to deliver precise, rhythmic pulses that mimic therapeutic tapping techniques (like those
used in EMDR) to aid in emotional processing and nervous system regulation.
• l:liofeedback Sensor Integration (Optional Enhancement): To enable au adaptive feedback loop
that customizes the neurostimulation experience, the headset can integrate skin conductance, heart
rate, and EEG sensors to offer real-time physiological data .
• Software Interface & Connectivity: Therapists can monitor, modify, and personalize therapy
sessions using an interface that works with a companion PC, smartphone. For smooth therapist
control, the equipment has wireless communication capabilities.
Through multisensory neurostimulation, the Neuroheadset gives therapists a potent, versatile tool
to improve PTSD treatment in clinical therapy settings.
DESCRIPTION
The present invention pertains to a wearable neurostimulation device that is expressly engineered
for the therapist-assisted treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and related anxiety
disorders. The invention combines audio stimulation and haptic feedback to promote cognitive
engagement, trauma processing, and emotional regulation. This gadget offers a real-time adaptive
neurostimulation experience to improve therapeutic results by fusing bilateral haptic stimulation
with brainwave-modulating sound treatment.
Cognitive-based therapies like Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR),
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Exposure Therapy are the mainstays of PTSD
treatment. Despite their effectiveness, these treatments frequently lack real-time physiological
adaptation and multisensory stimulation, which can improve therapeutic efficacy. There are
several haptic-based therapeutic tools available, however they lack dynamic modification and only
use fixed vibrating patterns. Similarly, auditory neurostimulation and binaural beats have been
investigated in PTSD treatment, but they have not been combined with real-time haptic input to
increase their effectiveness. There is currently no technology that successfully integrates
biofeedback-driven modulation, haptic modulation, and auditory modulation in a wearable
configuration that therapists may customize. By introducing an intelligent neurostimulation device
that uses synchronized, adaptive stimulation techniques to improve trauma therapy sessions, this
invention seeks to close this gap.
The invention consists of a system that uses a headset to provide synchronized auditory and tactile
stimulation. The device is intended lo be used under the supervision of a therapist and to be
adjusted in real time in response to patient feedback. In order to replicate EMDR procedures, the
headset has strategically positioned vibration actuators that produce bilateral rhythmic pulses. The
frequency and intensity of these pulses can be changed to accommodate various therapeutic
modalities. The head gear incorporates guided sound therapy, isochronic tones, and binaural
beats-all of which are intended to alter brainwave activity. Depending on the goals of therapy,
such as profound relaxation, trauma processing, or cognitive restructuring, different frequency
ranges (Delta, Theta, and Alpha) might be chosen. Haptic and auditory stimulation are
synchronized via a real-time control system. The algorithm modifies the frequency, duration, and
strength of stimulation in response to therapist input or physiol_ogical feedback, if enabled.
To assess the patient's stress response and dynamically adjust stimulation, the system can
incorporate galvanic skin response (GSR) sensors, heart rate variability (HRV) monitors, and
electroencephalogram (EEG) sensors. Therapists can monitor patient reaction, manually modify
therapy parameters, and record session data for long-term tracking using the device's PC/mobile
software interface.
The system has two modes of operation: adaptive (auto-adjusting) and manual (therapistcontrolled).
A choice of stimulation level, length, and intended therapeutic objective (such as
cognitive restructuring, exposure therapy, or relaxation) is made at the start of the therapy session.
To ensure that the vibrations and sound frequencies combine to promote relaxation or emotional
processing, the device synchronizes the activation of haptic pulses with aural stimulation.
The device has biofeedback sensors, which allow it to continuously track EEG signals, skin
conductance, and heart rate variability. To maintain the best possible therapeutic condition, the
system automatically modifies the haptic intensity and auditory frequency based on real-time
tension or relaxation signals. Through the wireless software interface, a therapist can change
stimulation settings, override automatic adjustments, and pause and continue therapy in response
to patient feedback. To prevent sudden disengagement at the end of a session, the system
progressively lowers the degree of stimulation. In order to track progress and personalize therapy
in subsequent sessions, all session data is recorded and kept for the therapist's evaluation.
The device uniquely integrates haptic and auditory stimulation, enhancing neuroplasticity and
trauma recovery compared to single-modal therapies. The adaptive neurostimulation algorithm
dynamically modifies therapy parameters based on biofeedback data or therapist input. The system
offers various therapy modes (relaxation, exposure therapy, cognitive restructuring) and allows
for manual therapist adjustments. The headset is lightweight, comfortable, and easy to use, making
it an effective clinical and home therapy tool. The wireless control interface and session logging
enable precise therapy tracking and long-term treatment optimization.
