Description

Transcranial electromagnetic synchronous stimulation system
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of medicine, in particular to a transcranial electromagnetic synchronous stimulation system.
Background
TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) is a Magnetic Stimulation technique that uses a pulsed Magnetic field to act on the central nervous system (mainly the brain) to change the membrane potential of cortical nerve cells, so that induced current is generated, and the intracerebral metabolism and neuroelectrical activity are affected, thereby causing a series of physiological and biochemical reactions.
The TMS device comprises two main parts, a capacitor and an inductor (a coil that generates a time-varying magnetic field). The main principle is a Faraday electromagnetic induction theory, a capacitor stores a large amount of charges and discharges in a very short time, pulse current can generate a magnetic field when passing through an induction coil of an inductor, and the magnetic field can pass through tissues such as scalp, skull, cerebrospinal fluid and the like without attenuation to generate reverse induced current in nerve tissues (as shown in figure 1). The induced current depolarizes or supercedes the nerve cells of the cerebral cortex, thereby changing the excitability of the nerve cells, when reaching an action potential threshold value, an action potential can be generated, and further the electrophysiological and functional changes can be caused, which can finally cause the excitation or inhibition of transient brain functions and can also cause the change of the plasticity of the cortex during growth.
Repeated transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) refers to a string of Magnetic stimuli that acts on a certain area of the cerebral cortex at a certain frequency and intensity, and acts on the cerebral cortex through a time-varying Magnetic field to generate an induced current so as to change the excitability of the cerebral cortex (including the Stimulation site and other brain areas functionally connected to the Stimulation site). The regulation of cortical excitability by rTMS is related to the stimulation frequency, low frequency rTMS (less than or equal to 1Hz) can reduce cortical excitability, whereas high frequency rTMS (more than or equal to 5Hz) can increase cortical excitability (as shown in fig. 2).
Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive technique that uses a constant, low-intensity Direct Current (0.5-3 mA) to modulate the activity of cortical neurons in the brain.
the tDCS device is provided with two different electrodes and a power supply device thereof, and is additionally provided with a control software for setting the output of the stimulation type. The stimulation modes include 3 types, namely positive stimulation, negative stimulation and pseudo stimulation. Positive stimulation generally enhances the excitability of the neurons at the stimulation site, while negative stimulation reduces the excitability of the neurons at the stimulation site. Pseudo-stimuli are mostly used as a control stimulus. In general, the immediate effect of positive and negative stimulation on the scalp is a polarity-dependent excitatory change, the positive stimulation increases the excitability of local cortical neurons (increases the firing rate of neurons and their responsiveness to synaptic inputs), and the negative stimulation decreases the excitability of local cortical neurons by affecting the resting membrane potential of neurons. Neurons respond to static electric fields (direct current) by a change in firing frequency. Thus, when the positive pole of tDCS is close to the neuron soma or dendrite, the neuron spontaneous firing increases, while the neuron firing decreases when the electric field direction is reversed.
The rTMS and tDCS technology has certain curative effect on patients with brain function diseases, and can improve the nerve behavior function.
However, because of the different mechanisms of action of rTMS and tDCS, treatments are currently performed with rTMS alone or tDCS alone.
