MEDICAL TREATMENT DEVICE AND METHOD FOR STIMULATING NEURONS OF A PATIENT TO SUPPRESS A PATHOLOGICALLY SYNCHRONOUS ACTIVITY THEREOF

摘要

The present invention pertains to a medical treatment device for stimulating neurons of a patient to suppress a pathologically synchronous activity, the device comprises at least three non-invasive stimulating units for generating stimuli to a patient's body, and a control unit for selectively and intermittently actuating the stimulating units in a sequence of actuating periods. The control unit is configured to, across the sequence of actuating periods, variedly determine for each actuating period a number n of stimulating units to be simultaneously actuated during the respective actuating period.
