NEUROMODULATORY DEVICES, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS FOR TREATING FIBROMYALGIA

摘要

One aspect of the present disclosure relates to a method for treating fibromyalgia. One step of the method can include placing a therapy delivery device into electrical communication with a parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) nerve target, other than the vagus serve, which is associated with the fibromyalgia. Next, the therapy delivery device cars he activated to deliver a therapy signal to the PNS nerve target in an amount and for a time sufficient to effect a change m parasympathetic activity in the subject and thereby treat the fibromyalgia.
