Targeted Neural Plasticity for the Treatment of Tinnitus
Award Year / Program / Phase:
2009 / SBIR / Phase I
Agency:
HHS
Principal Investigator:
Navzer Engineer
Award Amount:
$239,020.00
Abstract:
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is an application to test the feasibility of reducing tinnitus by pairing left vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) with tone presentations to reorganize the auditory cortical frequency map. Approximately ten percent of a
dults experience some degree of tinnitus,… More

Agency:
HHS
Principal Investigator:
Richard L. Weiner
Award Amount:
$96,576.00
Abstract:
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a proposal to evaluate the feasibility of using an implantable and wireless microstimulation device for reducing orofacial pain. Each year almost one sixth of the US population seeks treatment for craniofacial
pain. Temporomandibular joint disorders… More
Targeted Neural Plasticity for the Treatment of Tinnitus
Award Year / Program / Phase:
2010 / SBIR / Phase II
Agency:
HHS
Principal Investigator:
Navzer Engineer
Award Amount:
$1,681,818.00
Abstract:
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): In Phase I, we demonstrated the feasibility of using VNS stimulation paired with tone presentations to completely reverse the effects of tinnitus in a rat model of the disease. The Specific Aim of Phase II is to acc
umulate data for the submission of an IDE… More
Enhancing Fear Extinction Using Vagus Nerve Stimulation
Award Year / Program / Phase:
2010 / SBIR / Phase I
Agency:
HHS
Principal Investigator:
Navzer Engineer
Award Amount:
$286,398.00
Abstract:
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Specific Aim of this Phase I study is to evaluate whether vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) can enhance fear extinction. Exposure Therapy in humans is a form of fear extinction. Exposure therapy is the primary tool used
to treat posttraumatic stress disorder… More
