Detailed description of the invention
Below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and the specific embodiments, the implanted electric pulse stimulation system that the present invention is provided, electric pulse Stimulate test system, and use this implanted electric pulse stimulation system stimulate nervous tissue method.
It is appreciated that the implanted electric pulse stimulation system that the present invention provides can be that cardiac pacemaker, defibrillator, brain are deep Portion's electrostimulator, spinal stimulator, vagus nerve stimulator, the intestines and stomach stimulator, muscle stimulator, peripheral nerve stimulation device or Other similar stimulators.The embodiment of the present invention only illustrates as a example by implanted lesions located in deep brain device.
Referring to Fig. 1-2, the embodiment of the present invention provides an implanted lesions located in deep brain device 10, comprising: one implants skin Under pulse generator 11, one implants the stimulating electrode 12 of deep brain position, and one connects this stimulating electrode 12 and pulse generator 11 Extension lead 13, and one for the vitro program controlled instrument 14 of this pulse generator 11 program control.
Described pulse generator 11 produces specific electric stimulation pulse signal 15, and by described extension lead 13 and stimulation Electrode 12 is conducted to stimulation location to carry out stimulating regulation and control.Described vitro program controlled instrument 14 can be with the described wireless company of pulse generator 11 Connect, and change its electric pulse stimulation parameter.
Described stimulating electrode 12 tip has multiple contact, and after stimulating electrode 12 is implanted target position, and at least one Individual contact contacts closely with stimulating target spot, with by suitable electricity irritation conduction to target spot, the disease for the treatment of nerve class.Can manage Solving, described stimulating electrode 12 can be one or more according to stimulating needs, stimulates corresponding position, to ensure thorn Swash effect.It is appreciated that the number of described stimulating electrode 12 is not limited to one, can select as required.
Being appreciated that described extension lead 13 is an optional element, described stimulating electrode 12 can be directly connected to this arteries and veins Rush on generator 11.Only when the distance after described stimulating electrode 12 implants with this pulse generator 11 is bigger, just need Extension lead 13 to be passed through connects.
Described pulse generator 11 is internal to be included: microprocessor module 111, power module 112 and wireless telecommunications Module 113.It is electrically connected with between described microprocessor module 111, power module 112 and wireless communication module 113.Described micro-place Reason device module 111 has the program editted, it is possible to produce different frequency, different pulse width, the electric stimulation pulse of different amplitude Signal 15.The stimulus waveform of this electric stimulation pulse signal 15 is including but not limited to square wave, sine wave, exponential wave, triangular wave.Separately Outward, described wireless communication module 113 and the wireless connections of described vitro program controlled instrument 14, thus permissible by described vitro program controlled instrument 14 Select the program of described microprocessor module 111, regulate program parameter, thus change the electric stimulation pulse signal 15 of output.Institute State microprocessor module 111 and can include that one stimulates control module and a use for producing the constant frequency of constant frequency stimulation pulse signal Control module is stimulated in the frequency conversion producing frequency conversion stimulation pulse signal.But, described microprocessor module 111 at least includes frequency conversion Stimulate control module.Described constant frequency stimulates control module and frequency conversion to stimulate control module to be the integrated electricity storing certain procedures Road, its structure does not limits, and those skilled in the art can design as required.Be appreciated that described constant frequency stimulate control module and Frequency conversion stimulates control module can be integrated into same module.
Referring to Fig. 3, the stimulus waveform of the electric stimulation pulse signal 15 that described pulse generator 11 produces can be common Constant frequency stimulation pulse signal, it is also possible to for frequency conversion stimulation pulse signal.But, described pulse generator 11 at least can produce Frequency conversion stimulation pulse signal.
Referring to Fig. 4-6, described frequency conversion stimulation pulse signal 150 includes the electric stimulation pulse string of at least two different frequency 152 alternately stimulate the multiple burst periods 151 of formation, and the electric stimulation pulse string 152 of each frequency is in each burst periods In 151, duration is 0.1 second ~ 60 minutes.Be appreciated that if the electric stimulation pulse string 152 of each frequency lasting time Between the shortest, such as, less than 0.1 second, then the pulsewidth size of stimulation time and individual pulse exists together an order of magnitude, different frequency Pulse is closely coupled, and effect has the biggest uncontrollability.And if electric stimulation pulse string 152 duration of each frequency Oversize, such as, more than 60 minutes, single-frequency can be produced and adapt to by patient, and long-time stimulation easily makes patient produce stimulating Adaptability, the similar Drug resistance producing medicine, effect is similar to constant frequency to stimulate.
Preferably, the electric stimulation pulse string 152 of each frequency duration in each burst periods 151 can be 0.1 second ~ 30 minutes.Preferably, the electric stimulation pulse string 152 of each frequency duration in each burst periods 151 It it is 3 seconds ~ 60 seconds.It is highly preferred that the electric stimulation pulse string 152 of each frequency duration in each burst periods 151 It it is 5 seconds ~ 30 seconds.Within this time period, both can guarantee that comprised frequency can produce sufficient effect to target cell, again Can prevent patient from the stimulation of certain frequency is produced adaptability.
The frequency of described electric stimulation pulse string 152 is less than or equal to 400 hertz, such as 10 hertz ~ 400 hertz.Preferably, institute The frequency stating electric stimulation pulse string 152 is 30 hertz ~ 250 hertz.It is highly preferred that the frequency of described electric stimulation pulse string 152 is 50 hertz ~ 150 hertz.When stimulus frequency is less than 30 hertz, the motor symptoms of patient is improved in confused situation aobvious, at more low frequency Its motor symptoms is even made to deteriorate during rate.Constant frequency stimulus frequency used by clinic is good at 100 hertz effectiveness comparison, thus excellent Select the field stimulation of 50 hertz ~ 150 hertz, ensureing to chief complaint effect or on the premise of improving cardinal symptom, simultaneously Subsidiary symptom is improved.
