More Information
Summary:Devices systems and methods are described which control blood pressure and nervous system activity by stimulating baroreceptors. By selectively and controllably activating baroreceptors and/or nerves the present invention reduces blood pressure and alters the sympathetic nervous system; thereby minimizing deleterious effects on the heart vasculature and other organs and tissues. A baroreceptor activation device or other sensory activation device is positioned near a dermal bone to provide the treatment.
