07 Dezembro 2022 - 10:00AM
electroCore, Inc. (Nasdaq: ECOR), a commercial-stage bioelectronic
medicine company, today announced that the United States Patent and
Trademark Office (USPTO) has issued two patents related to its
non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation (nVNS) technology to
electroCore, including the following patents:
- U.S. Patent No. 11,511,109 entitled “Non-invasive Magnetic or
Electrical Nerve Stimulation to Treat Gastroparesis, Functional
Dyspepsia, and other Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders” issued
on November 29, 2022. This patent is generally related to methods
for treating gastroparesis, functional dyspepsia and/or ileus with
nVNS. The methods include transmitting an electrical current
through an outer skin surface (both the ear and/or the neck) of a
patient having a frequency of 1 kHz to 20 kHz.
- U.S. Patent No. 11,517,742 entitled “Non-invasive Vagal Nerve
Stimulation to Treat Disorders” issued on December 6, 2022. This
patent is generally related to devices and methods for treating any
disorder in a patient with nVNS using an electric current having a
frequency of about 1 kHz to about 10 kHz and a duty cycle of about
1% to about 10%.
“The issuance of these two new patents continues to broaden and
strengthen the usage of our nVNS therapy across multiple
indications and methods,” Dan Goldberger, Chief Executive Officer
of electroCore. “We are pleased with the expansion of our patent
portfolio as it allows us to continue advancing our powerful
technology and positions us to further explore the role of nVNS for
other conditions beyond migraines and cluster headaches.”

About gammaCore™gammaCore™ (nVNS) is the first
non-invasive, hand-held medical therapy applied at the neck to
treat migraine and cluster headache through the utilization of a
mild electrical stimulation to the vagus nerve that passes through
the skin. Designed as a portable, easy-to-use technology, gammaCore
is self-administered by patients, as needed, without the potential
side effects associated with commonly prescribed drugs. When placed
on a patient’s neck over the vagus nerve, gammaCore stimulates the
nerve’s afferent fibers, which may lead to a reduction of pain in
patients.
gammaCore (nVNS) is FDA cleared in the United States for
adjunctive use for the preventive treatment of cluster headache in
adult patients, the acute treatment of pain associated with
episodic cluster headache in adult patients, and the acute and
preventive treatment of migraine in adolescent (ages 12 and older)
and adult patients, and paroxysmal hemicrania and hemicrania
continua in adult patients. gammaCore is CE-marked in the European
Union for the acute and/or prophylactic treatment of primary
headache (Migraine, Cluster Headache, Trigeminal Autonomic
Cephalalgias and Hemicrania Continua) and Medication Overuse
Headache in adults.
gammaCore is contraindicated for patients if they:
- Have an active implantable medical device, such as a pacemaker,
hearing aid implant, or any implanted electronic device
- Have a metallic device, such as a stent, bone plate, or bone
screw, implanted at or near the neck
- Are using another device at the same time (e.g., TENS Unit,
muscle stimulator) or any portable electronic device (e.g., mobile
phone)
Safety and efficacy of gammaCore have not been evaluated in the
following patients:
- Adolescent patients with congenital cardiac issues
- Patients diagnosed with narrowing of the arteries (carotid
atherosclerosis)
- Patients who have had surgery to cut the vagus nerve in the
neck (cervical vagotomy)
- Pediatric patients (less than 12 years)
- Pregnant women
- Patients with clinically significant hypertension, hypotension,
bradycardia, or tachycardia
