Systems and methods for treating neuro-psychiatric disorders, such as depression or schizophrenia, and/or other illnesses are disclosed. A patient is diagnosed with a particular neuro-psychiatric disorder or other illness. An electric nerve stimulation (ENS) technique, such as vagus nerve stimulation (VNS), is administered to the patient in conjunction with a magnetic nerve stimulation (MNS) technique. The magnetic nerve stimulation (MNS) technique includes applying a magnetic field to a pre-selected synaptic region of a brain of the patient based on the diagnosis. A physiological response of the brain, such as electroencephalogram (EEG) activity, is monitored. One or more parameters of the magnetic field may be selectively adapted in response to the monitored physiological response. The administration of the ENS technique and the MNS technique may be performed simultaneously, in serial order, or in alternating order depending on the diagnosis.

L'invention concerne des systèmes et des procédés permettant de traiter des troubles neuropsychiatriques, comme la dépression, la schizophrénie, et/ou d'autres pathologies. Un diagnostic de trouble neuropsychiatrique particulier ou d'une autre pathologie est établi pour un patient. Une technique de stimulation électrique des nerfs (ENS), comme la stimulation du nerf vague (VNS) est appliquée au patient, en combinaison avec une technique de stimulation magnétique des nerfs (MNS). La technique de stimulation magnétique des nerfs (MNS) comprend l'application d'un champ magnétique à la région synaptique présélectionnée du cerveau du patient, sur la base du diagnostic. Une réponse physiologique du cerveau, comme une activité d'électroencéphalogramme(EEG) est contrôlée. Un ou plusieurs paramètres du champ magnétique peuvent être adaptés de manière sélective en réponse à la réponse physiologique contrôlée. L'application de la technique ENS et celle de la technique MNS peuvent s'effectuer simultanément ou dans un ordre alterné, en fonction du diagnostic.
