Technical Field

Background
Coma is the most serious disturbance of consciousness due to the high inhibition of the cortical and subcortical reticulum, a clinically critical condition, which is mainly manifested by complete loss of consciousness, loss of voluntary movements, and dullness or loss of response to external stimuli, but the patient also has breathing and heartbeats.

Detailed Description
In order to better understand the solution of the present application, the following description of the solution of the embodiment of the present application will be clear and complete, and it is obvious that the described embodiment is only a part of the embodiment of the present application, not all the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present application without making any inventive effort, shall fall within the scope of the present application.
The terms "first," "second," "third," "fourth" and the like in the description and in the claims and in the above drawings, if any, are used for distinguishing between similar objects and not necessarily for describing a particular sequential or chronological order. It is to be understood that the data so used may be interchanged where appropriate such that the embodiments described herein may be implemented in other sequences than those illustrated or otherwise described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprises," "comprising," and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of steps or elements is not necessarily limited to those steps or elements expressly listed but may include other steps or elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.
Coma is the most serious disturbance of consciousness due to the high inhibition of the cortical and subcortical reticulum, a clinically critical condition, which is mainly manifested by complete loss of consciousness, loss of voluntary movements, and dullness or loss of response to external stimuli, but the patient also has breathing and heartbeats. For coma caused by craniocerebral injury, the coma time is positively correlated with the death rate, and the longer the coma time, the smaller the awake probability. The golden period that promotes patient recovery during the first two months of coma. The treatment schemes for coma and arousal so far are various, such as medicines, operation treatment, music treatment, electric stimulation and the like. The electric stimulation method is safe and effective, and is a hot spot for research and application at present.
The median nerve belongs to the peripheral nervous system of the human body, is distributed at the positions from the arms to the palms on the two sides of the human body, occupies a large area in the central dominant region, and is a peripheral portal of the central nerve. The electric stimulation is carried out on the median nerve, and the stimulation signal can be conducted upwards to the central nervous system through the median nerve-spinal nerve-cervical marrow-brain stem-thalamus-cortex area pathway, so as to trigger the excitatory effect, activate the restrained neurons and the ascending reticular activation system and promote the awakening. The median nerve stimulation technique is simple to operate, safe, noninvasive and less in side effect. The existing researches show that the stimulation of the median nerve on two sides or the single stimulation of the median nerve on the right side can promote the awakening of patients suffering from traumatic brain coma, and simultaneously has better awakening effect on non-traumatic coma (hemorrhagic cerebral apoplexy, hypertensive brain, cerebrovascular accidents and the like), and the awakening rate can reach 66%.
The vagus nerve is the 10 th pair of brain nerves of the human brain, and is the pair with the longest travel and the widest distribution. The vagus nerve auricle branch is the branch with the shallowest distribution of the vagus nerve on the body surface, and the auricular collet, the tragus and the external auditory canal are all provided with rich vagus nerve endings, wherein the distribution proportion of the vagus nerve of the auricular collet is 100%. Electrical stimulation of these ear locations activates the vagal afferent nerve. Studies have shown that percutaneous ear vagal nerve stimulation can activate the bridge brain blue patch noradrenergic system, which is a key component of the reticular activation system; at the same time, the orexin and the receptor thereof can be increased, and the orexin energy signal is enhanced, and the signal participates in promoting arousal. Currently, clinical studies have demonstrated the feasibility of the stimulation of the vagal nerve in the treatment of coma.
The median nerve stimulation and the vagus nerve stimulation can achieve the effect of promoting the wake of the comatose patient, but the action mechanisms of the median nerve stimulation and the vagus nerve stimulation are different, and the scope of the application of the median nerve stimulation and the vagus nerve stimulation to the comatose patient is different. It has been reported clinically that some comatose patients do not respond to median nerve stimulation, but do have an awake-promoting response to vagal nerve stimulation. Currently, there is no effective means to identify which neural stimulus a patient responds to, and if validated at the cost of time, the golden period of waking up is easily missed. The device for promoting the waking up of the coma can effectively improve the waking up rate of the coma by combining the median nerve stimulation and the vagus nerve stimulation.

Based on the embodiment of the wake-up instrument provided in fig. 1 described above, the interactive module may optionally include an interactive panel including operating buttons, output indicator lights, and a waveform display screen. The operation button is used for controlling parameters of currents output by the first electric stimulation module and the second electric stimulation module, and specifically can respectively control parameters such as waveforms, frequencies, on-off ratios, duration and the like of the first electric stimulation signal and the second electric stimulation signal, and phase differences between the first electric stimulation signal and the second electric stimulation signal. The output indicator lamp is used for prompting whether the current wake-up instrument is in a working state or not, and the waveform display screen is used for displaying waveforms of the first electric stimulation signal and the second electric stimulation signal.
Based on the embodiment of the wake-up instrument provided in fig. 1, the interaction module may optionally include: a communication module, the communication module comprising: any one or more of a Bluetooth module, a WiFi module or a zigbee module. The communication module is used for being connected with a mobile control device in a wired or wireless mode, and the mobile control device is used for carrying out data interaction with the waking-promoting instrument and controlling the waking-promoting instrument. Specifically, the wake-up instrument control system established based on the communication module may refer to fig. 2, including: the wake-up promoting instrument 201, the mobile control device 202, the cloud server 203 and the personal computer (PC, personal Computer) 204, wherein a data connection is established between the wake-up promoting instrument 201 and the mobile control device 202 through a communication module so as to perform data interaction, and a connection is established between the mobile control device 202, the cloud server 203 and the personal computer 204 through a wired or wireless network so as to perform data interaction, and the specific form can be determined according to practical situations and is not limited herein.

The mobile control device may connect to the cloud server and record and synchronize patient data, such as synchronized stimulation records and case records. In other embodiments, the system can also query cloud data through a PC end to check, change and other operations on the usage record and the case record of the waking device.
Based on the embodiment of the wake-up meter provided in fig. 1, the electrical stimulation signal generating module may further comprise: a microprocessor and RLC switching circuit; the microprocessor is used for analyzing the control instruction and controlling the RLC conversion circuit; the RLC conversion circuit is used for converting voltage input provided by the power supply module into current output; the microprocessor is further configured to generate the first electrical stimulation signal and the second electrical stimulation signal as a function of the current output. Based on the structure, the first electric stimulation signal and the second electric stimulation signal output by the waking-promoting instrument are current signals, and compared with voltage signals, the current signals reduce deviation caused by human body impedance, and are high in reliability and good in safety.
Further, the microprocessor may be further configured to adjust parameters of the first electrical stimulation signal and the second electrical stimulation signal, where the parameters include: waveform, frequency, pulse width, on-off ratio. Wherein for a first electrical stimulation signal for stimulating the median nerve, the adjustable parameter categories include: waveform, frequency, pulse width, on/off ratio, duration, and monophasic/biphasic mode, etc. Wherein the waveform comprises sine wave, triangular wave, sawtooth wave and square wave; the pulse width is a characteristic parameter of a square wave. Monophasic/biphasic mode refers to electrical stimulation of positive and negative polarity directionality. Frequency is an important parameter for achieving stimulation regulation. Upon application of electrical stimulation, brain tonic activity may be modulated around the frequency of the external stimulus. Studies have shown that the frequency of the gamma band is important for learning, memory and information processing capabilities. Whereas 40Hz is considered to be the frequency most important for sensory and perceptual combinations. When using median nerve stimulation for coma promotion, the frequency is generally within the two gamma bands of 40Hz or 35 Hz. These two frequencies have been demonstrated in a number of studies to achieve the coma-promoting function. Nerve stimulation often uses a segmented stimulation mode, where stimulation output is stopped after a period of time, and stimulation is output after a period of time. The on/off ratio is two time parameters, and the on/off ratio is respectively used for indicating the output and the stop time length of the stimulation current in one period. In the case of median nerve stimulation, 20s on and 40s off are commonly used, i.e. 20s of current output and 40s of current output are not. There are also 20s on and 50s off. The duration is the time from the start to the stop of the stimulus, including the time the current is stopped. When the medicine is used for unconsciousness and wake-up, the duration is generally about 6 to 10 hours. When the two parameters are set, a certain current actual output time is ensured, and a better treatment effect can be achieved. For example, a 20s on/40s off mode duration of 6 hours, the current actually output for 2 hours; the 20s on/60s off mode lasts the same 6 hours, and the current is actually output for 1.5 hours. When the stimulus waveform is a square wave, the pulse width of the square wave needs to be set. The parameter frequently used for waking up is 300us, which has been proven to be effective in previous studies. It will be appreciated that the actual parameter settings of each category may be adjusted according to the actual condition of the patient, and are not limited herein. Monophasic/biphasic mode refers to monophasic and biphasic output current waveforms, the current of which is always positive, i.e. greater than 0, and current always flows from positive to negative. The current of the biphasic waveform is positive and negative, and polarity inversion occurs between the positive electrode and the negative electrode.
For the second electrical stimulation signal used to stimulate the vagus nerve, the vagus nerve stimulation output is typically a square wave, with adjustable parameters such as frequency, pulse width, on/off ratio, and monophasic/biphasic mode. The meaning of each parameter is similar to the description corresponding to the first electrical stimulation signal, and will not be repeated here. It will be appreciated that the actual parameter settings of each category may be adjusted according to the actual condition of the patient, and are not limited herein.
Further, the electrical stimulation signal generation module may further include: the phase modulation module is used for adjusting the first electric stimulation signal and the second electric stimulation signal according to the control instruction so as to generate a phase difference between the first electric stimulation signal and the second electric stimulation signal. The phase difference can be adjusted to any value of 0-180 degrees. The specific phase difference can be in-phase (0 °), quadrature (90 °) or anti-phase (180 °)
The phase is one of important information of human brain nerve oscillation, and the phase difference of external stimulus can generate different modulation effects on the nerve oscillation of brain areas, so as to improve the cognitive ability, pain feeling, emotion and other aspects. Externally applied electrical stimulation can affect the neural oscillation of the brain itself, and phase locking is one of them. That is, under the influence of external stimulus, the frequency of the cranial nerve oscillation is gradually adjusted to be close to the frequency value of the external stimulus, and at the same time, a constant phase is maintained. When the phases of the two signals remain at a constant phase difference, the two signals are coherent signals. The phase-adjustable coherent signal has several special phase differences of in-phase, quadrature and anti-phase. Phase coherence is a feature that measures the phase relationship of two signals. When two different electrical stimulations are used for controlling the brain nerves, a modulation effect is generated on the phase coherence of a target brain region. Modulation of phase coherence may improve brain function. For example, the gamma wave phase coherence of 40Hz between two hemispheres of the brain is modulated, so that the perception of fuzzy motion stimulation can be enhanced. The non-invasive ear vagus nerve stimulation and the non-invasive median nerve stimulation are applied to the comatose patient at the same time, and the most suitable phase difference between the two types of stimulation can be continuously adjusted and found according to the actual condition and feedback observation condition of the patient, so that the stimulation intensity of signals in a specific brain area is enhanced, the propagation depth of the stimulation is enhanced, and the patient is promoted to wake up.

The specific parameter adjustment manner and rule may refer to the content included in the foregoing corresponding embodiment of fig. 1, which is not described herein.
(3) The magnitude of the current is determined. For median nerve stimulation and vagus nerve stimulation, the magnitude of the current needs to be determined according to the bearing degree of the patient. The current level is required to be less than the pain threshold of the patient (pain cannot be felt or the brain pain mechanism will be activated). For unconscious patients, the physical condition of the patient is generally monitored by matching with an electrocardiograph, a blood pressure and other instruments. The current increases slowly from 0mA upwards, and a larger value is determined under the condition that the indexes of the patient such as electrocardio, blood pressure and the like do not change obviously. Experiments and clinical experience show that under the condition of sufficient frosting, the current of the median nerve stimulation is generally 15-20 mA for adults and 10-15 mA for children; the current level of vagal nerve stimulation is typically between 0.5mA and 3 mA.
(4) The phase difference of the stimulus is adjusted. The phase difference can be adjusted to any value of 0-180 degrees, and can be adjusted to be in-phase (0 degree), quadrature (90 degrees) or anti-phase (180 degrees) according to actual needs
