Apparatus, systems, and methods for treating body organ aging

摘要

One aspect of the present disclosure relates to a method for treating body organ aging in a mammal. One step of the method includes identifying at least one target organ in need of a therapy signal. Next, a therapy delivery device is placed into electrical communication with an autonomic nervous system (ANS) nerve target and/or a central nervous system (CNS) nerve target associated with the at least one target organ. The therapy delivery device is then activated to deliver the therapy signal to the ANS nerve target and/or the CNS nerve target in an amount and for a time sufficient to effect a change in sympathetic and/or parasympathetic activity associated with the at least one target organ.

1. A method for treating body organ aging in a mammal, the method comprising the steps of:
determining the level of at least one physiological parameter associated with ANS and/or CNS activity in at least one target organ of the mammal; predicting dysfunction or degeneration in the at least one target body organ by comparing the determined level of the at least one physiological parameter with a control value; placing a therapy delivery device into electrical communication with an ANS nerve target and/or CNS nerve target associated with the at least one target organ in a mammal having an abnormal level of the at least one physiological parameter; and activating the therapy delivery device to deliver the therapy signal to the ANS nerve target and/or the CNS nerve target in an amount and for a time sufficient to effect a change in sympathetic and/or parasympathetic activity associated with the at least one target organ.
