Description
膨張可能な刺激手段;及び
刺激手段に振動を生じさせる振動手段を含んでおり;
振動装置は、刺激手段を、体の開口部を通じて体腔に導入することが可能になる第1の状態と、刺激手段が体腔内の組織に様な容積に、刺激手段が膨張している第2の状態に、配置することができる。
体の開口部を通じて体腔内へ刺激手段を導入することが可能である、膨張可能な刺激手段を含む振動装置を提供し、;
体の開口部を通じて体腔内へ刺激手段を導入し;
体腔内部の組織に刺激手段が隣接するように、振動装置の第2の状態に刺激手段を膨張し;そして
前記第2の状態において、刺激手段に振動を生じさせる、
工程を含む、患者の体腔内の、特に鼻腔又は腸内の体組織を刺激するための方法を提供する。
回復した後、オペレーター又は患者は振動装置を体の開口部から、例えば、鼻から、引き出すことができる。
本発明の装置と方法を用いてパイロット・テストが行われた。テストは、成人の、健常人、並びに、鼻部に関連した様々な種類の問題、及び/又は、疾患を持った患者の鼻にて行われた。
下記の一般的な方法が、すべての治療に使用された:
バルーンと膨張していない状態の衛生的な保護カバーを有する、第1の状態の振動装置が鼻腔に導入された。鼻腔内にて、バルーンを水圧40〜80cm(3.9〜7.8kPa)へと膨張させた。
健常人が、両方の鼻腔に、一度には片側の鼻腔に、上記一般的治療方法(周波数40Hz、5分間、水圧50cm(4.9kPa))にて手当された。両方の鼻腔の処置完了後15分以内に、呼吸抵抗がVASスケールにて評価された。
この個体は、1〜2日前から、臨床的に上気道に、おそらくウィールス感染により、感染していて、この感染により、鼻水が出、鼻の空気の通りが悪く、即ち、かなりの鼻詰まりを引き起こしていた。すべての個体が、上記の一般的治療方法(水圧70cm(6.9kPa))により治療を受けた。
薬物性鼻炎の患者は、風邪の治療には鼻詰まり防止の点鼻薬に、または、鼻詰まりには鼻腔用スプレーに依存しており、それ故、これらの薬を、通常毎晩、そしてしばしば昼間にも使用する。これまで治療を受けたこれらの患者は、毎晩、大部分の患者はその上毎日、点鼻薬を利用してきた。この常用は、少なくとも2年間続いてきており、患者の何人かは、10年間までも続いてきた。常用の開始の理由は通常知られていないが、重くて長引く鼻詰まりと共に、上気道の感染に関連して鼻詰まりが始まったことは、珍しいことではない。一部の患者は、鼻詰まりを伴う頑固な問題について、鼻をかんだ後又は鼻の外側若しくは内側を手術した後、と述べた。調査対象のすべての患者は、多くの既知の薬物治療計画で治療されたと述べた。同様に、一部の患者は、鼻の手術をうけた、とりわけ、粘膜の鬱血、即ち“萎縮(shrivelling)”を軽減するために、鼻粘膜を焼かれた、とも述べた。
比較実験として、薬物性鼻炎の一患者に、一方の鼻孔に風邪用の点鼻薬を用いて、もう一方の鼻孔に上記(薬物性鼻炎の他の患者に対すると同様の)振動刺激にて、治療を施した。治療の時、この患者は10年より長い間点鼻薬を常用してきていた。
この患者は10年より前の時から、鼻に痛みを持っていた。患者は、利用可能な、あらゆる種類の痛みを緩和する治療、及び/又は、薬物治療を試みてきたが、何らの実質的な効果が無かった。強力な鎮痛剤により、数時間の痛みの緩和がもたらされてきた。
これらの患者すべてに、アレルギー検査が行われたが、いかなるアレルギーも有さないと診断された。患者は、鼻詰まり、及び/又は、鼻の分泌物の増加を軽減するために、毎日鼻にコーチゾン噴霧を使用していた。薬用治療は、ある程度かれらの症状を軽減した。
嗅覚低下の患者
親族によると、いびきで周辺の人に迷惑をかけるいびきをかくとみなされていた患者は、上記方法による治療後に、いびきをかかなくなった。
