NEUROMODULATION ENERGY APPLICATION TECHNIQUES

Abstract:

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to techniques for accurate positioning of an energy application device for neuromodulation treatment protocols. In one embodiment, a neuromodulation positioning patch is applied to a patient's skin. The energy application device is configured to couple to a frame of the neuromodulation positioning patch to position a transducer of the energy application device within an opening at a treatment position within the opening. In one embodiment, the frame is also configured to couple to a removable dock for an imaging probe that, when coupled to the removable dock and, in turn, the frame of the neuromodulation positioning patch, is configured to acquire image data through the opening to identify or verify a treatment position.
