Description

The In-Ear noninvasive nervus auricularis vagi stimulation instrument of one kind and its pulse output method
Technical field
The present invention relates to the fields for using current impulse energy stimulation nerve or tissue treatment related disease, more particularly to Be a kind of In-Ear noninvasive nervus auricularis vagi stimulation instrument.Apparatus and method of the present invention can be used for stimulating the vagus nerve of patient Auricular branch treats a variety of diseases, such as: headache, depression and anxiety, epilepsy, obesity, diabetes, Alzheimer's disease.
Background technique
Electro photoluminescence is used to treat existing more than 2000 years history of disease, but is actually used for clinical treatment, is 20th century 50 Age, the clinical application of first pacemaker.Modern electro-physiological research shows that: electrical stimulation can make neu straight It connects or depolarizes indirectly, cause the electric discharge of action potential, or make neu hyperpolarization, action potential is prevented to discharge.This The adjustable nerve fibre activity of kind nerve electric stimulation, and generate the physiological effect of some positive treatment diseases.
With the successful application of pacemaker, implantable neural electrical stimulation equipment is rapidly developed, and obtains and largely face Bed application.Such as: implanted VNS stimulation is used to treat epilepsy, depression, obesity, Parsons;Lesions located in deep brain (DBS) is used for The target treatment etc. of various cranial nerve function obstacles.Although implantable neural electrical stimulation equipment curative effect is reliable, need to perform the operation Treatment, operation can damage part health tissues, it is possible to cause complication, and there are infection risk, and expensive, separately It is exactly outside limited battery life, once dead battery capability, needs re-operation to carry out the replacement of equipment.These factors are very big Limit implantable nerve stimulation promotion and application.
Non-built-in mode transcutaneous electrical stimulation (TENS) also has very long history, but until nineteen sixty-five Melzaclk and Wall proposes " pain gate control theory ", just starts fast-developing.It was discovered by researchers that stimulating related mind by skin surface Through, also can good control pain, stimulated without implanting.Non-built-in mode transcutaneous electrical stimulation (TENS) is existing Very widely used, it is used not only for easing pain, such as: neuromuscular electric stimulation therapy (NMES) stimulates the muscle of innervation, with Enhance the strength and endurance of injured muscle;Functional electrostimulation (FES) be utilized to activate nerve control muscle, for treat due to Locomitivity caused by the reasons such as spinal cord, head injury lacks disease;Peripheral nerve electro photoluminescence is used to treat anxiety, insomnia, insane The mental disorders such as epilepsy, depression.Non-built-in mode transcutaneous electrical stimulation (TENS) is typically all to require repeatedly to treat daily, often Secondary treatment requires cleaning electrode and therapentic part, and smears conductive solvent, and operation is more troublesome, and being in addition exactly cannot be real The now uninterrupted lasting stimulation in 24 hours as implantable nerve stimulation apparatus, therefore, it is also difficult to reach implantable nerve stimulation Curative effect.Although being non-invasive therapy, it is easy the Sensory nerve fibre that skin is arrived in stimulation, generates tingling sensation.
Studies have shown that the differentiation of ear's concha auriculae is furnished with vagus nerve branch auricular branch " The Nerve Supply of the Human Auricle-----ELMAR T.PEUKER*AND TIMM J.FILLER".Ear in vagal neck branch Branch vagus nerve ending is abundant.The A class major diameter Medullated nerve fibre that auricular branch of vagus nerve also includes, although quantity is about neck The 1/5 of vagus nerve branch, portion, illustrating from anatomical basis, which stimulates auricular branch of vagus nerve that can also reach, stimulates neck fan absent-minded Through the same curative effect of branch.Auricular branch of vagus nerve is distributed in the skin of auricle and external auditory canal from superior ganglion outside backward Skin, the 01- concha auriculae court of a feudal ruler as shown in Figure 1, skin at 02- cavity of concha and 03- external auditory canal.
Existing nervus auricularis vagi stimulation instrument (ear t-VNS) is generally all made of portable main machine+ear's electrode two parts, just The formula host of taking is although easy to carry, but treats if necessary to 24 hours, and work or other non-time of having a rest carry not side Just.And ear's electrode generally uses ear-clip electrodes or earplug electrode.Ear-clip electrodes wearing easily causes discomfort, earplug Electrode is even more to be easy to influence hearing.Electrode material generally uses metal electrode+Signa Gel or electric silica gel+conduction liquid side Formula.Metal electrode+Signa Gel covers every time using requiring cleaning electrode if Signa Gel is not smeared, and leads Cause metal electrode and direct skin contact, it is easy to cause electric injury.Electric silica gel+conduction liquid mode is easy because of conduction liquid Volatilization, and impedance increase between electric silica gel and skin is made to cause tingling sensation.CN105056394A discloses a kind of host and electricity Pole integral type nervus auricularis vagi stimulation instrument wears portability and comfort although improving, does not solve above-mentioned continuous 24 The problems such as hour stimulation and conduction liquid volatilization and tingling sensation.
Summary of the invention
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a kind of In-Ear noninvasive percutaneous nervus auricularis vagi stimulating apparatus and its pulse outputs Method can be passed to neuromodulation signal ear's vagus nerve tissue by the device, to reach the mesh for the treatment of disease 's.
The invention discloses a kind of convenient for wearing in 24 hours, In-Ear noninvasive percutaneous nervus auricularis vagi stimulating apparatus, use In the treatment of the mental diseases such as treatment epilepsy, depression, Parsons and self-closing disease, it can also be used to which the diseases such as diabetes and obesity are controlled Treatment or clinical research.
