CA 2265557

An effect analogous to a tail-pinch effect is evoked in humans by apparatus for applying variable localized pressure to the spine. Control of the pressure can be accomplished manually, by remote control and/or automatically. By selectively applying pressure a number of changes can be evoked in the human including, for example, causing an increase in appetite, a change in sexual behavior, increased blood flow to brain, and/or an increase of neurotransmitters, including dopamine, serotonin and norepinephrine. The effect is useful in treating Parkinson's disease, depressive disorders, stroke and other conditions.

Selon l'invention, on crée, chez l'homme, un effet analogue à l'effet de pincement de la queue, au moyen d'un appareil permettant d'appliquer une pression variable localisée à la colonne vertébrale. La pression appliquée peut être commandée manuellement, par télécommande et/ou automatiquement. Une application sélective de la pression peut susciter un nombre de changements chez l'homme, par exemple une augmentation de l'appétit, un changement du comportement sexuel, une augmentation du flux sanguin allant au cerveau, et/ou une augmentation de la sécrétion de neurotransmetteurs, y compris de la dopamine, de la sérotonine et de la noradrénaline. Cet effet est utile pour le traitement de la maladie de Parkinson, des troubles dépressifs, des accidents cérébro-vasculaires et d'autres états pathologiques.
