Description

Program-controlled electrical stimulation to open the meridian headache treatment device

technical field

The invention relates to the technical field of headache physical therapy appliances, in particular to a program-controlled meridian-opening therapeutic device controlled by a single-chip microcomputer, which belongs to the technical field of electrotherapy under international patent classification A61N1/00.

Background technique

At present, clinically, acupoint stimulation is used to treat headache, and acupoint acupuncture is generally used. However, it often forms an invasive treatment process for the human body, and it is difficult to operate at any time and perform timely treatment. At the same time, because the traditional meridians need to be differentiated and treated for individual patients, the selection of acupoints along the meridians cannot be mastered by Western medicine personnel who currently occupy the mainstream of medicine.

Contents of the invention

The object of the present invention is to overcome above-mentioned deficiency, provide a kind of by means of conventional safety helmet to arrange electrode, and control the headache treatment device that applies pulse electric therapy on electrode with single-chip microcomputer control.

The present invention is based on Yang's "Meridian is the self-integral function regulation system of the orderly self-organized activity process formed by the human brain acquired. In the center and the periphery of the human body, the meridian does not have its inherent inherent meridian pathway. The existence of the meridian, It is mainly reflected in the feeling of the human body after being stimulated, which is called "needle sensation". It can diffuse along the route of the traditional meridians and fourteen meridians, and can also be diffused and circulated along other parts of the human body. Its diffusion and circulation reach and The pain and symptoms of the passing part and its nearby deep and shallow tissues and organs can be relieved or subsided immediately, and the local or whole body pain valve can also be relatively improved." The theory follows the traditional meridian theory of "there is no pain when it is clear, and the pain is not when it is unreasonable". Yang's new acupuncture method and new therapy of "both strong and weak points of stimulation, segmented opening, and unified connection" have been transformed into a modern program-controlled head electrical stimulation method. With Baihui point as the center, apply pulse electricity to the four adjacent and nearest two electrodes on each side of the Mi-shaped shape, and advance sequentially. Open up the meridians at the shortest distance, and finally through the meridians at Baihui and the farthest points, so as to achieve the purpose of opening up the meridians. In the same way, pulse electricity is passed on the adjacent and nearest two electrodes on every two sides of the "M" shape, and advances successively. Open up the closest latitudinal meridian. On this basis, pulse electricity is passed on the electrode of the symmetrical line of the rice character to open up the furthest point and meridian, so as to achieve the purpose of penetrating all the meridians of the head. Make the acupoints and meridians that were originally blocked and disordered become accessible and orderly, become active, and restore the normal state of acupoints and meridians. It avoids the damage of traditional acupuncture to the human body, and at the same time, it is convenient for more non-Chinese medical personnel to use.

The technical scheme of the present invention is as follows.

First, center on the top of the safety helmet and correspond to the Baihui acupoint on the head, and install 33 electrodes with spring devices arranged in the shape of a rice. Each electrode is in good contact with the patient's scalp, and between any two electrodes, the electric pulse is stimulated to achieve the purpose of treating headaches and opening the meridians.

The program-controlled meridian opener adopts single-chip microcomputer technology, and the program controls the electric pulse generated by the electronic circuit, which is added to the 33 electrodes with spring devices arranged in the shape of a meter on the helmet to stimulate each acupuncture point.

According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine that "there is no pain if there is generalization, and no pain if there is no pain" and the principle of step-by-step, with Baihui point as the center, pulse electricity is applied to the four adjacent electrodes on each side of the Mi-shaped shape, and advance in sequence. Open up the meridians at the shortest distance, and finally through the meridians at Baihui and the farthest points, so as to achieve the purpose of opening up the meridians. In the same way, pulse electricity is passed on the adjacent and nearest two electrodes on every two sides of the "M" shape, and advances successively. Open up the closest latitudinal meridian. On this basis, pulse electricity is passed on the electrode of the symmetrical line of the rice character to open up the furthest point and meridian, so as to achieve the purpose of penetrating all the meridians of the head. Make the acupoints and meridians that were originally blocked and disordered become accessible and orderly, become active, and restore the normal state of acupoints and meridians.

Detailed ways

As shown in the schematic diagram of Fig. 1: the headache treatment device of the present invention, i.e. the meridian opener, is made up of four part circuits of single-chip microcomputer control, display and adjustment, power supply and high-voltage pulse electronic switch network helmet electrode.

First, center on the top of the safety helmet, which corresponds to the Baihui point on the head, and install 33 electrodes with spring devices arranged in the shape of a rice. When operating, it is worn on the head of the headache patient, and the operation is simple and fast. Depending on the weight of the helmet, each electrode is in good contact with the scalp. Between any two electrodes, energize pulse stimulation to achieve the purpose of treating headaches and opening meridians.

Power supply: as shown in Figure 5, 220V AC is used for power supply when indoors, and the power consumption is 0.4 watts. When it is outdoors, it is powered by the battery assembled inside. Transformer T1, rectifier bridge B1, and capacitor E1 form an isolation step-down, rectification and filtering circuit. The switching regulated power supply with current limiting function composed of IC1 (MC34063), D1, L1 and other components performs floating charge for the battery BATT, and forms an uninterruptible power supply with the battery. The 5-volt switching regulated power supply is composed of IC2, D3, L2 and other components, which are used for single-chip microcomputer and control circuit. As shown in the POWER1 part of Figure 5. The switching stabilized power supply composed of IC3, D4, L3, N1 and other components, under the control of the pulse width modulation signal PWM sent by the microcontroller, generates a digital continuously adjustable 1.2-9 volt power supply for the high-voltage pulse circuit to generate corresponding of high pressure. As shown in the POWER2 part of Figure 5.

Single-chip microcomputer control: as shown in the MPU part in Figure 6: under the control of the program, the single-chip microcomputer ATMEGA16 receives information such as pulse voltage, pulse speed, and acupoint electrodes from the control buttons S1-S8, and outputs pulse voltage PWM, pulse speed MC, Acupoint electrodes KZDA, KZCK and display pulse voltage speed VVDA, VVCK, various pulse waveforms WDA, WCK, output indication OD, corresponding positioning acupoint display and other signals, control and display output voltage and speed, pulse waveform, and locate the acupoints to be electrically stimulated.

The program is divided into two parts, manual and automatic. The manual part is to select the electrodes on the site of the headache in a targeted manner, and add appropriate pulse electrical stimulation to achieve the purpose of treatment. The automatic part is to add appropriate pulse electricity to the 33 electrodes of the helmet, and use the ideas described in the plan to open up the meridians between the acupuncture points on the head, so that the previously unconnected and disordered acupoints and meridians become orderly and active. Restore the normal state of acupuncture points and meridians.

In the present invention, 300Hz pulse electricity is used as the carrier, and the frequency modulation output is 0.3-100Hz to form a pulse train.

The display is a 3-digit LED display, showing 0-100 levels, corresponding to 20- 200 volt output voltage; S3 and S4 are modulation rate addition and subtraction buttons, select the pulse train cycle speed, and the display is also a 3-digit LED display, showing 0.3-100, corresponding to 0.3-100 Hz modulation rate (DISPLAYVOLTAGE AND RATE part in Figure 7 ); S5 is the pulse waveform button, select sparse wave, dense wave, sparse-dense wave, positive triangle wave, reverse triangle wave, and hand acupuncture wave for 6 pulse train waveforms to generate continuous wave and simulate the effect of acupuncture and moxibustion. At the same time, the L1-L6 pulse waveform indicators of the DISPLAY WAVE part in Figure 7 light up accordingly; S6, S7, and S8 are acupuncture point positioning buttons, respectively for manual

(by), manual

(weft), automatic (Confirmation in manual mode) button. When manually selecting any two of the 33 electrodes, press the manual warp, manual weft, and auto/confirm button for the first time to select the first electrode, and press the manual warp, manual weft, and confirm/auto button for the second time to select For the second electrode, the indicator lights of the corresponding acupoints will light up at the same time, indicating the selected electrode (DISPLAYPOINT part in Figure 6). Press the Auto/Confirm button for 3 seconds to enter the automatic acupoint scanning, and then press the Auto/Confirm button again to scan one step faster, a total of 9 levels. Press the manual warp or manual weft button to exit automatic.

The location of the acupoint indicator lights is shown in Figure 3 panel diagram (corresponding to Figure 4 of the helmet electrode diagram). The central indicator light is L33, which corresponds to the Baihui acupoint electrode on the helmet. From the Baihui acupoint electrode to the left temple electrode, four electrodes are evenly arranged, and the indicator lights are L1, L2, L3, L4; from the Baihui acupoint electrode to the left forehead electrode, four electrodes are evenly arranged, and the indicator lights are L5, L6, L7, L8; rotate clockwise in this way, 33 indicator lights are arranged in the shape of a rice, corresponding to 33 electrodes.

DISPLAY OUTPUT part L34 in Fig. 6 is the output pulse indicator light.

High voltage pulses, electronic switching network, helmet electrodes:

The high-voltage pulse circuit is shown in the HIGH VOLTAGE part in Figure 5: the triode N2, N3 and transformer T2 form a high-voltage pulse generator, which is controlled by the MC signal of the single-chip microcomputer to generate 20-200 volt pulse electricity, which is supplied to the electrodes of each acupoint. The P1 socket is a direct output of pulse electricity, which is used in special cases.

The electronic switch network is shown in the OUTPUT VOLTAGE (O1...O33) part in Figure 7. The serial acupoint positioning data KZDA and clock KZCK output by the microcontroller are sent to the serial input and parallel output circuit composed of U1-U9, and the positive and negative signals of 66 acupoint positioning are output , control the electronic switch network composed of triodes P1-P33, N1-N66, and output O1-O33 positive and negative high-voltage pulses to the corresponding helmet electrodes. For example, when two electrodes O1 and O2 are selected, Q0 and Q3 of U1 integrated chip output high level in the first step, and Q1 and Q2 output low level. At this time, O1 outputs high-voltage pulse, and O2 is grounded. In the second step, Q0 and Q3 of U1 integrated chip output low level, Q1 and Q2 output high level, at this time O2 outputs high-voltage pulse, and O1 is grounded. Under the control of the program, the electrodes O1 and O2 complete a positive and negative pulse output. Other electrodes are similar. Such positive and negative pulse electrical stimulation reduces the electrolytic side effect of unipolar pulse electrical stimulation on the skin.

The helmet electrode, as shown in Figure 2: is a stainless steel electrode with a spring 3. The front end is a 5 mm thick mushroom head 1, which can push the hair away and make good contact with the scalp without stinging the scalp. The outside of spring 3 is covered with thin stainless steel tube 2, so that hair is not entangled with spring. Stainless steel thin tube 2 is sleeved in the copper tube 4 that has external collar. Fix the copper pipe 4 on the helmet with nuts. Adjust the position of the copper tube 4 in the helmet according to the shape of the head. One end of the spring 3 is connected to the mushroom head 1, and the other end is connected to the outer end of the copper pipe 4. Make the mushroom head 1 elastically contact with the scalp and improve the comfort during treatment.

Test verification:

Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following effects:

Break through the shackles of traditional acupoint selection along the meridians, adopt the method of opening the meridians in all directions in the shape of a meter, and use the program control sequence to electrically stimulate the acupoints on the head to open the meridians and realize the goal of "no pain". Eliminate the pain of headache patients, easy to use.

Discuss the therapeutic effect of opening the meridian therapy on headaches, and confirm Yang's statement that "the meridian is an orderly self-organized activity process formed by the human brain and the overall functional regulation system. In the central and peripheral areas of the human body, the meridian does not have its inherent inherent meridian following." The existence of access pathways.” theory, and observe the therapeutic effect on headache of the electronic headache treatment instrument independently developed on the basis of this theory. Method: Among 149 cases of various headache cases, 100 cases were treated with electroacupuncture therapy in which needles were arranged in a "m" shape centered on the top of the head and electric stimulation was applied. Forty-nine cases were treated with the electronic headache therapy instrument for opening the meridians. The pain index of each patient was identified before and after treatment, and processed statistically. Results: The headaches of the two groups were relieved obviously before and after treatment, and the pain index was significantly different (P<0.01); there was no significant difference between the two treatments (P>0.05). Conclusion: The research theory of Yang's meridian essence and the therapy of unblocking meridians have objective existence. The meridians are acquired by the human body, and can transmit acupuncture sensation in any direction. Through the strong and weak stimulation between two points, the meridians can be opened arbitrarily according to the purpose of treatment.

Headache is one of the most common symptoms clinically. Almost everyone experiences headaches in different degrees in their life. Medicine and other disciplines have brought many difficulties to diagnosis and treatment. In 1988, the International Headache Society (IHS) unified the classification of headaches and formulated more detailed diagnostic criteria. Standardize the classification and diagnostic criteria of headache. There are many treatment methods for headache, but the curative effect is different, especially for a class of diseases with headache as the main manifestation, such as migraine, tension headache, cluster headache and other primary headaches, analgesic drugs are often used to control pain Mainly, it cannot be cured yet. In traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture and moxibustion based on meridian theory have been recognized for treating headaches, but there are many opinions on the mechanism of meridian itself, and no one has been accepted yet.

According to Yang's "opening meridian therapy and quantum meridian acupuncture" theory ⁽¹⁾ , breaking the traditional cycle of acupoint selection based on meridian theory, using acupoints as acupuncture areas to treat headaches, using the top of the head as the center , Arrange needles in the shape of "rice" from all directions and eight directions, and treat headaches by applying electrical stimulation. Based on this, an electronic headache treatment instrument for opening meridians was developed to treat 149 cases of various headaches. In order to confirm Yang’s: “The meridian is the overall functional regulation system of the orderly self-organized activity process formed by the human high-level center. The existence of pathways through access" theory ^[2] . And observe the curative effect of the Kaitong Meridian Electronic Headache Therapy Apparatus independently developed on the basis of this theory, the report is as follows.

clinical information

1.1 General information

All 149 cases in this group had headache as the main complaint, 50 males and 99 females, aged 12-77 years, with headache duration ranging from 1 day to 40 years. According to the headache diagnostic criteria established by the International Headache Society, 27 cases met migraine, 28 cases of tension headache, 4 cases of cluster headache, and the remaining 90 cases were mostly secondary headaches involving neurasthenia, depression, anxiety, high Blood pressure, lacunar infarction, occipital neuralgia, sequelae of traumatic brain injury, cervicogenic headache and more than ten diseases.

1.2 Diagnostic criteria

The 1988 International Headache Society (IHS) classification and diagnostic criteria for headaches were adopted. However, due to the complexity of the criteria, patients could not express them correctly, which made it difficult to make a precise diagnosis. In this group, 27 cases met the diagnostic criteria for migraine, and 28 cases met the criteria for tension. 4 cases met the criteria of cluster headache, and the remaining 90 cases belonged to secondary headache or unclassifiable headache.

1.3 Curative effect standard

Since headache is a subjective feeling, there is currently no objective equipment for detecting pain threshold. We use the method of pain index or visual analog scale, with headache as 100 as death and no pain as 0. The pain index before and after treatment was detected respectively.

1.4 Method

1.4.1 Electroacupuncture therapy

Take the top of the head as the center point (equivalent to Baihui acupoint), insert a needle at intervals of 2.5-4cm in eight directions on the first four sides, a total of 3-4 needles in each direction. The last stitch is below the occipital tubercle, and the two fronts are directed to the temporal part (equivalent to the temple), the bilateral direction is at 1 cm from the upper edge of the auricle, and the bilateral posterior direction is at about 2 cm behind the mastoid (equivalent to Fengchi point). place), after the needles are all inserted, use the G6805I II electronic therapy instrument to clamp one end of the electrode on the needle handle at the center point, hold the other electrode, and briefly touch the needle handles from the inside to the outside respectively, and perform electric stimulation. Parameter setting: the frequency is 100Hz, the waveform is a density wave, the voltage is 40 volts, and the current is divided into three levels, and each level touches each needle once. The needle is left for 10-20 minutes after the electrical stimulation. Increase the amount and duration of stimulation as appropriate for areas with severe pain.

1.4.2 Brief introduction and usage method of Kaitong Meridian Electronic Headache Therapy Apparatus

1.4.2.1 Brief Introduction of Open Meridian Electronic Headache Therapy Apparatus

On the basis of the above electroacupuncture treatment methods, we have developed an electronic headache treatment device for opening the meridians. We use a safety helmet, center the top of the head, and fix an elastic electrode rod at an interval of 3 cm in a rice-shaped manner to make it contact with the scalp. , The instrument is equipped with sparse waves, dense waves, sparse and dense waves, positive triangle waves, reverse triangle waves, and hand acupuncture stimulation waves. The stimulation voltage range is 0-100 files, and the corresponding pulse voltage is 20-200 volts. Frequency range 0.3--100Hz. There is a meter-shaped LED indicator light connected to each electrode rod on the instrument panel. When the indicator light is on, it means that the corresponding electrode rod has current input, and the human body is electrically stimulated. The instrument has two methods of automatic stimulation and manual stimulation. The automatic stimulation is completed by the command of the computer program, which is divided into three stimulation methods. ①Start from the center electrode, and connect the two electrode points on each single line in each direction. ②Two adjacent single lines. The adjacent two electrode points are connected in turn. ③ The points on the opposite line in the rice-shaped line are connected. For manual stimulation, the operator presses the M-shaped manual latitude and longitude buttons to connect any two points for electrical stimulation.

1.4.2.2 How to use

Put on a helmet for the patient, and move the helmet back and forth, left and right to make the electrode rods in close contact with the scalp in order to prevent the hair from blocking. Select the automatic program of the density wave type and the hand acupuncture stimulation wave type to stimulate once, set the voltage intensity to 5-8 levels, and the frequency to 100Hz, and then use manual strengthening stimulation to focus on stimulating the more painful areas.

1.5 Statistical methods

The data is represented by X±s, the paired t test was used for comparison before and after treatment, and the t test was used for comparison with the control group.

1.6 Method selection

Since March 2003, we have implemented open meridian electroacupuncture therapy for headache patients, and treated 100 cases of various types of headaches. After developing the open meridian electronic headache treatment instrument after October 2004, 49 cases of headache patients were treated with this instrument .

result

The pain indexes before and after treatment of opening meridian electroacupuncture therapy were 45.03±20.53, 6.13±8.26 respectively, and the pain indexes before and after treatment of opening meridian electronic headache instrument were 51.47±21.74, 8.15±10.39 respectively. P<0.01), there was no significant difference between the two methods for treating headache (P>0.05). From the above results, it can be seen that the effect of opening the meridian electronic headache treatment instrument and electroacupuncture therapy on headache is similar. The therapeutic instrument does not need needles to penetrate the human body, which can eliminate the patient's panic about needles, and is equipped with an automatic stimulation program, which can save manpower and time.

discuss

Headache is a complex subjective sensation caused by stimulation of the head and face structures by physical or chemical factors and transmitted to the brain through sensory nerves. It has been found that there may be more than a dozen biologically active substances in the neurons involved in the transmission of pain information, such as cholecystokinin, somatostatin, endorphin, dynorphin, enkephalin, 5-HT, Ach, etc. Among them, endorphins, dynorphins, enkephalins and other opioid peptides have strong analgesic effects, especially dynorphins ^[3] . Han Jisheng's research on the principle of acupuncture analgesia proves that different frequencies of electroacupuncture stimulation can promote the release of different types of opioid peptides in the brain and spinal cord, and the effect of alternating density waves of 2-100HZ is the best ^[4] . This principle provides the modern theoretical basis for the method applied in this paper.

The traditional meridian theory believes that there is a meridian regulation system in the human body, and it is concluded from practice that it mainly has twelve main meridians, plus the ten meridians, the governor meridians, and the fourteen meridians among the eight extra meridians. It "belongs to the viscera inside, and the limbs and joints outside", it can "regulate deficiency and excess, treat all kinds of diseases, and determine life and death". When the needling sensation from acupuncture reaches and passes through the corresponding parts of the human body, the pain symptoms of the nearby deep and shallow tissues can be relieved or subsided immediately, and the local pain threshold is also increased accordingly. Acupuncture and moxibustion is called "Qi to the sick place". And "Qi arrives and it is effective" and "No pain if it works well" and "Pain if it doesn't work".

Traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture dialectical treatment often divide headaches into two types: exogenous and internal injuries. Exogenous headaches refer to the blockage of meridians caused by exogenous wind, cold, heat, dampness, dryness, six evils of the head, or epidemics. Excessive syndrome headache; internal injury headache refers to deficiency syndrome headache caused by deficiency of qi, blood, yin and yang, lack of nourishment of the brain, and deficiency of viscera function, abnormal operation of qi, blood and body fluid, resulting in phlegm and blood stasis that block the meridian, resulting in brain meridian blockage pain. These two types of etiology are both external or internal factors leading to blockage of meridians and causing pain ^[5] . It can be seen that the smoothness of the meridians determines the occurrence and disappearance of pain. That is to say, if the meridians are unblocked, there will be no pain, and if the meridians are blocked, there will be pain. So what is the meridian from the perspective of modern medicine? What is the essence of meridians? my country's "Eighth Five-Year Plan" and "Ninth Five-Year Plan" have invested a lot of manpower and material resources in experimental research, using modern scientific and technological means such as sound, light, electricity, heat, magnetic radiation, isotope tracing and anatomy and histology to reveal the meridians in the human body. There is no definite answer to the existence of the pathway structure of innate meridian-following activities around the human body.

Yang discovered that the acupuncture sensation does not completely follow the traditional meridian pathways, but can also spread in any direction according to the required circulation program. The diffusion circulation process can be clearly perceived and positioned by the high-level central nervous system. The characteristics reflect that the orderly self-organized diffusion of needle sensation has the acquired characteristics of the high-level brain center. Acupuncture has the characteristics of orderly self-organization and diffusion, and its process is actually the trajectory of the acquired diffusion process of acupuncture in the high-level central, and the reflection and projection on the periphery of the human body, which breaks through the innate peripheral-based circulation of traditional meridian science. Based on the theoretical framework of Jingweigang, he believes that the orderly chain diffusion and circulation of needle sensation is an acquired process, and there is no innate inherent pathway for the diffusion and circulation of needle sensation in the center or periphery of the human body. Therefore, if you want to make the acupuncture sensation diffuse and circulate in a long distance and in different directions, you need to adopt the operation method of two points of stimulation simultaneously, divide the interval to be opened into several sections, open up section by section, and then stimulate separately The two ends of the whole process can be connected together in a unified way, so that the acupuncture sensation can diffuse and follow the whole process according to the compiled route, so as to achieve the desired purpose of treatment. Therefore, the "orderly diffusion of acupuncture senses for opening the meridians" ⁽¹⁾ was established with the main content of "two points of stimulation, simultaneous development of strength and weakness, and unified connection".

Based on the above theories, combined with the principles of modern acupuncture analgesia, we successively applied electroacupuncture to 149 headache patients and used the electronic headache therapy device to open the meridians, and achieved remarkable curative effect, making most of the patients relieve pain immediately. In addition, our follow-up visits to some patients showed that some patients had no recurrence, and some still had recurrence, but the pain was mild. This shows that opening the meridians is a temporary process, and only repeated stimulation can form the long-term opening of the meridians, so as to achieve the goal of radically curing headaches.
