Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problem that a blood pressure is unstable and largely changed even during, for example, a drug treatment with a hypertension, when the blood pressure is abruptly raised or the like, it is a dangerous state so that there is possibility of bringing about an accident, and at such a dangerous blood pressure time, a countermeasure is difficult in a conventional therapeutic method, and there does not exist a means for lowering the blood pressure as a symptomatic treatment in a general home. <P>SOLUTION: The blood pressure can be adjustably lowered by applying the vibration to a human body. When a deep respiration is used together with the vibration, the blood pressure is lowered at two or three stages. However, even when the vibration is merely applied, if the vibration is stopped, the blood pressure is returned to the original. A tentative danger is still avoided by utilizing such a vibration in this manner the blood pressure lowering apparatus is excited and used leisurely as a daily bedding, and a real treatment can be conducted. When the vibration is continuously used for about one year, the blood pressure can be genuinely lowered. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention is in the technical field of medical devices.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Among conventional medical techniques, three main treatment methods for hypertension are diet therapy, exercise therapy, and pharmaceutical therapy. In the medical device technical field,
Relieves fatigue, improves blood circulation, relieves muscle fatigue and relieves tension, relieves neuralgia and muscle aches. Therefore, there is no method or device for lowering blood pressure by applying vibration in the prior art.

[0003]

In hypertension, even when treated according to the instructions of the doctor, the blood pressure changes greatly during the treatment period. Especially, from dawn to morning, there are cold and
Or when I concentrate on something, I often feel anxiety and danger because my blood pressure suddenly rises without realizing it.
In such a case, there is no means or method to immediately lower the blood pressure, so even if you feel unavoidable or anxious, you can rest as it is and wait until the blood pressure falls naturally. There is also the danger of. There is a problem.

In response to this problem, the present invention meets the desire to immediately lower blood pressure. That is,
By giving a slight vibration to the whole body, for example, systolic blood pressure of (150 to 160) mmHg was 130.
Blood pressure can be rapidly lowered to about mmHg. When you have anxiety about your blood pressure, you can take immediate action, so you can eliminate the concern about high blood pressure. Since vibration is originally a physical phenomenon, input and response act promptly,
Be effective.

Within 5 minutes from the start of applying vibration, the blood pressure is rapidly lowered. This does not mean that the hypertensive illness has been cured. Since it was lowered by a simple physical phenomenon called vibration, the effect lasts for one hour while the vibration continues, but if the vibration is stopped, the physical phenomenon ends, so after 10 minutes to 1 hour, the original blood pressure is restored. I will end up. Blood pressure can be lowered as an emergency measure when the blood pressure rises sharply. Even if the vibration is stopped, the effect may last for several hours. Even with such first aid measures, if patients are patiently treated for several months, their true blood pressure will gradually decline. This leads to the true cure.

In the actual measurement of blood pressure, the friction coefficient of blood flow itself cannot be measured, but the amount of decrease in blood pressure caused by the decrease in friction coefficient can be measured. Theoretical vibration friction coefficient μ
It can be recognized as the amount of blood pressure decrease due to the effective value of t ≦ 0.

When a vibrating operation is finely performed for 6 months or more, when the user recumbent for the first time, it is always 150 mmHg to 160 mmHg.
Although there was something that was apparently 6 months later, it was 12
It falls to about 0 mmHg, and at this time, the frequency of appearance of blood pressure of 150 mmHg decreases in the fluctuation of blood pressure in daily life, and it averages to about 130 mmHg. When the blood pressure suddenly rises, it is possible to expect a further decrease in blood pressure in the second and third stages by using deep breathing together.

[0008]

In order to achieve the above object, in the "blood pressure lowering device by vibration" of the present invention, a large number of vibrators of varying strength are arranged so that the whole body can be vibrated. There are two types of placement methods, fixed placement and free placement. What is a fixed arrangement? A vibrator is built into bedding such as a bedding, mattress, bed, and some nursing care products so that the back of the whole body can be vibrated from the head of the human body. Separately from this, there is one vibrator that can be freely operated independently of the free position. The layout is such that the body part to be vibrated can be freely selected and selected according to preference.

When the whole body is vibrated, the vibrating force also acts on the place where there is no lesion at all and exerts the effect of lowering the normal blood pressure as the effect of vibration. Even if a lesion develops in some part of the vascular system and the blood flow resistance only in that part increases, the overall blood pressure also rises. Essential hypertension cannot be directly treated because it is not known which part of the body caused the increase in blood pressure. On the other hand, it can be considered that the oscillating force selectively acts strongly on the part where the blood flow resistance is large and acts in the direction of eliminating the resistance. In other words, even if it is not known where the lesion area is, it can be considered that the vibration force automatically searches for a strong resistance portion and acts to eliminate the resistance.

With respect to the sustaining effect of the vibration, the effect lasts for a relatively long period of time if the patient is kept at rest after the vibration. At night,
If your blood pressure is high, such as 160 mmHg, or just before going to bed, vibrate sufficiently to lower your blood pressure to a normal value, and then sleep gently without moving your body. Good to do. When operated in this manner, the effect after the end of vibration is sustained for a long time, so the therapeutic effect is particularly improved.

[0011]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The basic part of the present invention is a vibrator, the arrangement of which is the occipital region when a human body is supine horizontally,
Like the shoulders, back, hips, buttocks, thighs, bulges, etc., the vibrator is arranged so that vibration can be applied to the back of the human body at the same time, and it is possible to set the strength of each part. To do. Depending on the height of the human body, the length from the back of the head to the inflated shin can be up to about three types L, M, S.
We will be able to deal with the uneven shape of the back of the human body to some extent. The vibrator part is integrally shaped to form a basic device, which is fixedly arranged. This basic device shall be combined with a Japanese-style mattress. Use with other bedding as appropriate. In addition to this basic device, a free-standing vibrator is connected to the basic device as an auxiliary device so that a medical treatment operation can be performed as desired.

[0012]

Since the present invention is constructed as described above, it has the following effects.

Since vibration is originally a physical phenomenon, if a part of the human body is vibrated, the vibration will spread over a wide area.

When vibration is applied to the body, the principle of the theoretical vibration friction coefficient μt ≦ 0 works to reduce the coefficient of flow friction coefficient between the blood flowing in the capillaries and the inner wall of the blood vessel. If the flow coefficient of friction value decreases, less blood pressure is required to deliver the same flow rate. Regardless of the presence or absence of intravascular lesions,
The physical principle of the theoretical vibration friction coefficient μt ≦ 0 and the property of the effective value can be applied to the human body, and the fact that the blood pressure is lowered by the vibration was verified by the proof of theory and the result of the experiment.

When the vibration is started, the blood pressure is lowered within 5 minutes. If the vibration is stopped, the original blood pressure will be restored within 10 minutes to 1 hour. The blood pressure is lowered by the vibration because the pulse pressure due to the vibration acts in the axial direction of the blood vessel, and the stretching force acts in the cross-sectional direction of the blood vessel to reduce the resistance and reduce the blood pressure.

The lungs are the places for gas exchange between carbon dioxide in blood and oxygen in air on both sides of the membrane surface. When vibration is applied to this film surface, the acceleration of vibration acts on both sides of the film surface to act to increase the gas pressure, thereby increasing the efficiency of gas exchange. When deep breathing is performed while vibrating on the body, compared to what the blood pressure was lowered in the normal shaking state, the blood pressure showed a way of lowering like the second stage, and when deep breathing was performed strongly and quickly. Furthermore, how the blood pressure is lowered as in the third stage is shown.

During treatment of hypertension, blood pressure is unstable and fluctuates greatly even during drug treatment. A sudden rise in blood pressure is a dangerous condition in the face of an accident. In such a case, there is no coping method in the conventional method, but in the blood pressure lowering method of the present invention, there are also the second and third steps, so it is possible to escape from danger.

It is a good method that the blood pressure lowering apparatus of the present invention is vibrated just before going to bed at night so that the blood pressure is sufficiently lowered, and then the person goes to sleep quietly as it is. It can delay the return to the original blood pressure for a little while and maintain a good condition for a little longer, which helps improve the original blood pressure.

It is generally stated that it is not good to lower blood pressure rapidly. Since blood pressure may drop too rapidly with the deep breathing method, gradual blood pressure control is desired.

When vibration is applied to the human body, the vibration can be expected to have the effect of being transmitted through the meridian eclipse and spilling over these holes. In addition, vibrate these holes and the holes in the necessary areas where there is stiffness or pain with a free-standing vibrator.

Since the blood pressure lowering device of the present invention is a medical device utilizing general vibration, it can be expected to have general therapeutic effects such as improving blood circulation. Therefore, a special shape is required. It combines the basic part of the vibrator with a Japanese-style bedding or equivalent bedding so that it can be operated for a long time with weak vibration, so that it can be used comfortably as a daily bedding for night sleep as a main purpose. It is important to do.

Claims (3)

[Claims] 1. Theoretical vibration friction coefficient μt ≦ 0. When vibration is applied to a horizontal plane on which an object is placed, the coefficient of friction decreases with the magnitude of vibration, and theoretically can be 0 or less. The value of the friction coefficient (μ) is an unnamed value obtained by dividing the force (Fkg) for horizontally pulling an object on a horizontal plane by the total weight (Wkg) of the object, and the pulling force (F) is the frictional force. . μ = F / W (Equation 1) In the second law of Newton's motion, force (Fkg) is the product of mass (mkg) and acceleration (a). F = ma (Equation 2) Similarly, weight (Wkg) is the product of mass (mkg) and acceleration of gravity (g) W = mg (Equation 3) Substituting this relationship into (Equation 1) Then, μ = ma ÷ mg = a ÷ g (Equation 4) The vibration intensity is the vibrating force and has the relationship of (Equation 2). Then, if the acceleration of vibration is (av), the vibration force (Fv) = m (av) (Equation 5) Next, when vibration is applied to the horizontal plane on which the object is placed, the vibration force (F
v) acts on the negative side with respect to the frictional force (F) at rest. This can be understood, for example, when an object that is stationary on the slope is vibrated, the object slides down the slope. That is, under the vibration condition, the frictional force at the time of vibration is the frictional force (F) at the standstill minus the vibrational force (Fv) (F-FV). Theoretically, assuming that the friction coefficient during vibration is (μt), (μt) = (F−FV) ÷ W = (ma-mav) ÷ mg = (a−av) ÷ g (from Equation 1) (6) Av = 0 when there is no vibration, and (μt) ≦ 0 holds when the vibration gradually increases and a ≦ av.
This is defined as the theoretical vibration friction coefficient μt ≦ 0. 2. The effective value of the theoretical vibration friction coefficient μt ≦ 0 (μ
About 3). The value of the friction coefficient cannot be 0 even if vibration is applied. Therefore, the value of (μ3) was obtained by the experiment of “Table 1”, and the effect of vibration was confirmed. [Table 1] The experimental value of the friction coefficient μ is obtained by dividing the traction force F gram when an object on a horizontal plane is towed horizontally by the total weight W of the object W = 20 kg. The magnitude of the traction force is calculated by averaging the traction force when pulling to the right and the traction force when pulling to the left with a variable floor tension meter to eliminate the level error tan θ of the platform and eliminate it on a completely horizontal plane. The traction force was calculated to the unit of milligram. F for calculating the coefficient of static friction μ1
The value of 1 is 4.800 grams, the value of F2 for calculating μ2 is 3.538 grams, and the value of F3 for calculating μ3 is 1.370.
Got gram. Although the effect of vibration at this time is a simple physical experiment, it is as follows. For the coefficient of static friction (μ1), (μ3) ÷ (μ1) =
0.285 Dynamic friction coefficient (μ2) = (μ3) ÷ (μ2) =
0.387 3. When a slight vibration is given to the body, blood pressure is lowered.
This is due to the effect of "Claim 2" based on the theory of "Claim 1" and is the result of a simple physical experiment.
I was able to apply these theories to the human body. That is, due to the effect of adding vibration, the coefficient of friction between the blood flowing in the capillaries and the inner wall of the capillaries decreases, thereby reducing the blood flow resistance and lowering the blood pressure. This relationship was defined as the first stage blood pressure drop, and was confirmed by the following experiment. [Table 2] Blood pressure fluctuates cyclically during the day. Since the blood pressure in the early morning is particularly high in hypertension, the values in this time period were measured at 2-minute intervals and the average value was obtained. [Table 3] Although this drop seems to be small, this value is sufficient as the target value, so even in the case of hypertension, it may be sufficient to manage blood pressure at this level as a target. This is the descent effect of the first stage. [Table 4] After confirming the lowering effect of the first step, if deep breathing is applied at the same time as the vibration at that time, the blood pressure will further drop. This is the lowering effect of the second stage. [Table 5] At the beginning, it was 135 mmHg in daily living conditions, but it dropped to 127 by vibration, and it dropped to 110 with the addition of deep breathing.
He took a deep breath and fell to 98. From such a series of numerical flow, it seems that there is a correlation between each numerical value.
