Stimulators designed with capabilities to provide photic (visual), acoustic, and tactile stimuli to patients during therapeutic procedures. These devices consist of powered light-emitting devices that deliver various types of monochromatic or colored visual stimuli using a variety of different sources and configurations. The stimulators may include stands (e.g., tripods) for mounting and remote light (i.e., photic) controls for brightness, color, or other physical characteristics of the stimuli. The stimulators have additional capabilities to provide acoustic and tactile stimuli, either pre-programmed or custom designed, that may be delivered simultaneously with the light stimuli during the treatment. Relaxation/therapeutic photic/acoustic/tactile stimulators are used in therapeutic procedures mainly to provide relaxation, desensitization, and treatment of trauma-related psychological disorders.
