Systems And Methods For Using Transcutaneous Electrical Stimulation To Enable Dietary Interventions
The disclosed electrical stimulation system generates interventions to assist patients in complying with a diet. The wearable device includes a microprocessor, electrical stimulator and at least one electrode configured to deliver electrical stimulation to the epidermis, through a range of 0.1 mm to 10 mm or a range of 0.1 mm to 20 mm of the dermis, of a T2 dermatome to a T12 dermatome or meridian of the patient, a C5 to a T1 dermatome across the hand and/or arm, and/or the upper chest regions. The device is adapted to provide electrical stimulation as per stimulation protocols and to communicate wirelessly with a companion control device configured to monitor and record appetite patterns of the patient and generate interventions. The control device is also configured to monitor, record, and modify stimulation parameters of the stimulation protocols.

- 1. An electrical dermal patch adapted to be continuously worn by a patient, comprising:
a housing comprising a controller in electrical communication with a pulse generator; and at least two electrodes adapted to be adhered to the patient's skin and in electrical communication with the pulse generator, wherein the controller comprises programmatic instructions that, when executed and transmitted to the pulse generator, cause the pulse generator to generate and transmit to the at least two electrodes a first electrical stimulation pulse and a second electrical stimulation pulse, wherein the first electrical pulse is defined by a first phase having a first polarity and a second phase having a second polarity that is opposite the first polarity, wherein the second electrical pulse follows the first electrical pulse and is defined by a third phase having a third polarity and a fourth phase having a fourth polarity that is opposite the third polarity, and wherein the second polarity is equal to the third polarity.
- 22. An electrical dermal patch adapted to be continuously worn by a patient, comprising:
a housing comprising a controller in electrical communication with a pulse generator; and two electrodes adapted to be adhered to the patient's skin, positioned in a same plane parallel to the patient's skin, separated by a distance of 0.05 cm2 to 0.4 cm2.and in electrical communication with the pulse generator, wherein the controller comprises programmatic instructions that, when executed and transmitted to the pulse generator, cause the pulse generator to generate and transmit to the at least two electrodes a first set of electrical stimulation pulses and a second set of electrical stimulation pulses and wherein each of the at least two electrodes comprise a hypoallergenic conductive gel with at least one adhesive surface, wherein the hypoallergenic conductive gel does not comprise imidazolidinyl urea or diazolidinyl urea and wherein the at least one adhesive surface is adapted to adhere to the patient's skin and have a total skin contact surface area in a range of 2 cm2 to 4 cm2.
