Description

An animal single point electroacupuncture

technical field

The utility model relates to an animal single acupuncture point electroacupuncture.

Background technique

Veterinary acupuncture and moxibustion in traditional Chinese medicine came from the Bole Acupuncture Classic more than 600 BC. It has been applied for nearly 3,000 years. It is a method of treating diseases by stimulating the meridians and acupoints of livestock with needle stones. From the 1960s to the 1980s, the practice of using pulsed electrical stimulation of acupoints to replace the traditional twisting acupuncture manipulation was called "electroacupuncture". Accurate and controllable acupoint stimulation volume is promoted, which promotes the experimental scientific research and clinical application of electroacupuncture. In clinical practice, electroacupuncture not only reduces the requirements for acupuncturists and saves manpower, but also research shows that electroacupuncture can achieve more stable acupuncture effects than traditional hand acupuncture. Electro-acupuncture combined with selected multiple acupoints of the corresponding meridian and retaining needles to stimulate the digestive system of dogs, cats, horses and other animals, the veterinary clinical application of diseases such as reproductive system diseases, exercise fatigue and neurological disorders is also becoming more and more extensive. In addition, through the selection of multiple acupoints, electroacupuncture can obtain a good analgesic effect, and it is applied to animal (horse, cow, sheep, dog, etc.) surgical anesthesia, becoming an economical, safe and effective alternative or auxiliary anesthesia. Studies have shown that electroacupuncture at different acupoints can regulate the activity of different central nervous systems, regulate animal endocrine and immune functions through the neurohumoral system, and obtain different effects such as sedation, analgesia, anti-inflammation, and growth promotion, and achieve the purpose of disease treatment and prevention , so it can also reduce the amount of medicine and improve the efficacy of medicine, which has broad application and development prospects in improving animal welfare, livestock and poultry breeding health care and disease prevention and control.

However, the current electro-acupuncture system used in animals uses conductive metal acupuncture needles inserted into acupuncture points, and connected to electrical pulse devices through wires. Therefore, more than two acupoints are required to ensure a good lead and form a current loop to realize the function of electroacupuncture. The leads between the electroacupuncture acupoints make the wires redundant, and the animal must be kept in a good position during clinical application, which limits the application environment of electroacupuncture, and it is even more difficult to apply it in livestock breeding. The resistance values of different acupoints are different, and the mechanism of action is also different. Each acupoint on the lead circuit cannot be controlled independently, which affects the exertion of acupuncture effect and precise adjustment. When selecting acupoints on both sides of the animal body for lead, it also increases the potential danger of the current penetrating the heart.

In 2007, based on the current loop formed by the input electrode at a single acupoint point and the adhesion electrode set in the surrounding tissue in human medical practice, the researchers further designed an implantable single acupoint electroacupuncture system, and the effectiveness of its electroacupuncture was tested at a single acupoint in rabbits. It was verified in the implant analgesia experiment. This single-acupoint electroacupuncture breaks the traditional limitation of needing more than two acupoints to form a current circuit, realizes the possibility of individual control of each acupoint, and provides a theoretical and practical basis for us to solve the unfavorable factors of the lead between acupoints.

However, animals are covered with fur, so sticky electrodes used in human medicine are not suitable for designing single-point electroacupuncture systems, and implantable devices require surgical operations, and the stimulation system is expensive, which brings difficulties for animal single-point electroacupuncture inconvenient. At present, there are no utility models and products of single acupoint electroacupuncture designed for the characteristics of animal acupoints. There are many different animal species and body shapes, and the needles used for acupoint stimulation have always had the characteristics of veterinary acupuncture. Therefore, designing single-point electroacupuncture settings according to the characteristics of veterinary acupuncture equipment is conducive to the development of acupuncture and moxibustion technology, and promotes the use of electroacupuncture in livestock production.
