Laser generator for deep tissue laser treatments using low intensity laser therapy causing selective destruction of nociceptive nerves

摘要

A laser generator for laser therapy in the treatment of pain conditions by selective destruction of nociceptive or pain nerves, wherein a laser generator that generates a continuous and pulsed laser wavelength between 690 nm to 980 nm that is transmitted fiberoptically through a laser fiber within a spinal needle to contact areas within a body where pain nerves require destruction through optimal absorption of laser energy by pain nerves without affecting other types of nerves or surrounding tissues.

主权项

1. A laser generator for laser therapy in treatment of pain conditions by selective destruction of nociceptive or pain nerves, comprising;
an electronic modulator that is configured to generate one of a continuous non-pulsed signal or a pulsed signal including a wavelength in a specified range; a laser unit that is configured to generate a laser, wherein the laser unit is coupled to the electronic modulator such that the laser generator outputs a laser signal that is one of a continuous non-pulsed laser signal or a pulsed laser signal, wherein the laser signal includes a wavelength in the specified range; an electronic timer controller that is configured to be activated during operation of the laser unit and operable to limit delivery time of the laser; and a watchdog circuit that is configured to perform operations including:
monitoring the delivery time of the laser;comparing the delivery time of the laser to a predetermined threshold;in response to the comparing, determining whether the delivery time of the laser exceeds the predetermined threshold;based on determining that the delivery time of the laser exceeds the predetermined threshold, determining that the electronic timer controller has failed; andin response to determining that the electronic timer controller has failed, terminating the laser signal that is output by the laser generator by interrupting power source to the laser unit.
