2-Apr-2025 Newly patented device could speed treatment for stroke patients University of Nebraska-Lincoln Nearly 800,000 Americans suffer a stroke each year. Researchers at the University of Nebraska have patented an innovative, portable treatment device, called the pTACS Somatosensory Biomedical Device, that could significantly reduce mortality and disability caused by strokes. The device uses micro pulses of air to stimulate the brain and increase blood flow in the cerebral cortex, thus saving brain cells from death. The researchers envision their device being installed in emergency rooms, rehabilitation centers and even ambulances to start treatment when every second counts.
