The present invention relates to a therapeutic probe and a therapeutic device using the therapeutic probe, and more particularly, to a therapeutic probe module and a portable therapeutic device using the therapeutic probe module.

The idea of incorporating additional option circuits into the battery pack has been proposed to expand the functionality of mobile communication terminals. Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 9-270836, published October 14, 1997, discloses an additional device implemented by a radio circuit embedded in a battery pack detachably coupled to a mobile communication terminal. In addition, Korean Patent Publication No. 2001-19664, filed by Kim Tae-jin and published on March 15, 2001, includes an MP3 codec and a flash memory module in a battery pack of a mobile communication terminal, and uses a user interface of the mobile communication terminal. The audio reproducing apparatus to be controlled is described.

Applicant has focused on the fact that if a built-in additional function in the battery pack, many functions can be easily implemented without changing the hardware of the terminal body. During the treatment and diagnostic functions, it was noted that routine and continuous treatment and data collection are important, such as skin beauty and body fat measurement through bioimpedance. Accordingly, the present applicant provides a battery pack device which can be combined with a mobile communication terminal to support low frequency treatment, ultrasound cosmetic treatment, bioimpedance measurement, etc. as of September 2002. Patent application Nos. 2002-53004, 2002-52996, 2002- 52995, 2002-52994. These devices incorporate the necessary probes and associated driving circuits in the battery pack, communicate with the mobile communication terminal body, and support the above-described additional functions by controlling circuits in the battery pack by an application program executed in the mobile communication terminal.

The present applicant further goes to minimize the burden of wearing a therapeutic probe to the user, integrating the neural / muscle treatment with the mobile terminal, which is easy to operate, convenience of operation, and continuous observation in daily life. To this end, we have studied the implementation method of the therapeutic probe module, the interface between the therapeutic probe module and the mobile communication terminal, and, if necessary, additional circuitry is included in the battery pack to minimize the existing terminal hardware. I have studied to

Meanwhile, interest in health is increasing. There is an increasing demand for users (eg, patients) to make simple medical treatments or medical measurements anytime, anywhere, and continuously monitor the current state of the body.

In general, nerve / muscle therapy is widely used for rehabilitation treatment in addition to regeneration and insensitivity of damaged nerves including pelvic nerve, sexual dysfunction, urinary incontinence, pain relief, constipation, faecal incontinence.

Such nerve / muscle treatments include electric stimulation. First, electric stimulation is applied to muscles that can no longer control their motor function due to nerve damage. There is a functional electrical stimulation method that properly adjusts the intensity to produce a specific movement. There is also a therapeutic pre-stimulation method that simply repeats the contraction and relaxation of the muscles.

In addition, by contacting the electrode to the corresponding nerve / muscle of the human body, and detects the voltage signal induced from this electrode, by measuring the EMG (EMG, Electromyograph) signal to display the screen, you can objectively check the treatment effect of the patient There is a biofeedback that also strengthens training will.

In the aforementioned nerve / muscle treatment, an electrode is needed to detect an electric signal or a voltage signal that is in contact with a corresponding nerve / muscle of the human body, and a body cavity such as a sphincter muscle provided in the vagina or the hip of a woman. Cavity is divided into a method of inserting the electrode and a treatment method of attaching the electrode to the epidermis.

On the other hand, there are disclosed a variety of equipment for the treatment of such nerve / muscle.

Republic of Korea Utility Model Registration No. 20-0292034 discloses an example of the equipment used for conventional nerve / muscle treatment, as shown in the accompanying Figure 1, the therapeutic probe portion in contact with the corresponding part of the body ( 1) (in the example of FIG. 1, the vaginal insertion and anal implantation electrodes for body cavity insertion), a stimulus signal generation circuit portion, an EMG signal detection circuit portion, a signal processing portion responsible for stimulation pattern signal and EMG signal processing, electrical stimulation operation Control unit 105 including a control unit (not shown), a user control unit, and a screen display unit (not shown) for controlling overall and EMG measurement operation, the therapeutic probe unit 101 and the control unit 105 It consists of a cable (103) connecting between.

By the way, according to such a conventional configuration, the control device 105 and the treatment probe unit 101 is connected by a wired cable 103. Because of this, it is very inconvenient to not be able to do free activities because it is necessary to receive neuro / muscle treatment indoors (eg, hospital) with the practitioner (doctor, nurse).

Republic of Korea Patent Publication No. 10-0310305 and Republic of Korea Utility Model Registration No. 20-0281926 do not have a separate control device that is connected via a wired cable, the electrode unit, circuit unit, operation unit, control unit, etc. in a single portable device With all of these, there is disclosed a configuration of a portable electric stimulator that ensures the activity of the patient.

However, first of all, all the necessary components in a single housing must be built in, so that its size becomes relatively large, which makes it difficult to use for body cavity insertion. That is, according to this configuration, since the size of the portable device is relatively large, it is difficult for the entire portable device housing to be inserted into the vagina or anus of the human body. In addition, since the user operation unit is provided in a single portable device, the user must take out and operate the portable device in the body cavity whenever necessary, and thus, there is a problem in that the user cannot carry out the same daily life as when not wearing it.

In particular, according to such a configuration, it can not be further utilized in the treatment of the biological feedback. According to the biological feedback treatment, the signal-processed EMG measurement result should be displayed on the screen, because the size of the portable device will be larger if the components for displaying the EMG measurement result are provided in the portable device.

Korean Patent Publication No. 10-0328483 discloses a configuration of a urinary incontinence treatment apparatus that can be physically separated by enabling the EMG signal processor to be physically separated from the apparatus body.

The configuration of the publication will be described with reference to FIGS. 2A to 3. In the configuration of the publication, the EMG signal processor 210 of FIG. 2A is integrally provided in the main body of the device as shown in FIG. 2B and the separate EMG signal processor 210b separated from the main body of the device. Each EMG signal processor is selectively connected to the electrode through a cable. In addition, the separate EMG signal processing unit 210b is implemented in a form that can be worn on the body, for example, in the form of a belt fixed to the waist, so that the patient can continue daily life even while receiving urinary incontinence treatment will be.

However, analyzing this configuration in detail, the following problems are found. First, since the electrode and the separated EMG signal processor 210b are physically separated and connected by cables, the cables connected to the electrodes come out of the body cavity so that they do not look or feel good, and the separated EMG signal processor 210b is used. Because it must be carried separately, such as kicking the waist, there is still an inconvenience in that the patient can not live the same life as before the electrode treatment.

In particular, the publication does not propose a method that can be implemented even in the portable device body. As shown in FIG. 4, the apparatus main body of the electrotherapy apparatus of the publication is the same type as the above-mentioned Korean Utility Model Publication No. 20-0292034, and the operation, control, and screen display for measuring electric stimulation and electromyogram For this purpose, the large size control device used in hospitals, etc. should be used.

Accordingly, even when the separate type EMG signal processing unit 210b is used, the EMG measurement result can be confirmed only by going to the apparatus main body and can be operated. In addition, since the communication range of the device body and the removable EMG signal processor 210b is limited, the patient may not be able to work far from the device body.

On the other hand, the Applicant further seeks to minimize the burden on the user to wear the prostate probe, to pursue the ease of operation and the convenience of operation in daily life, professional and continuous prostate according to the condition of each patient We have been working on ways to make it possible.

Specifically, the applicant of the present application is to separate the prostate probe module from the main body (eg, a mobile communication terminal) and to perform wireless communication with each other, and, if necessary, to install an additional circuit in the battery pack to minimize existing hardware. And a method for receiving professional prostate treatment pattern information according to the condition of each patient from the prostate treatment data center by using a wireless data communication function supported by the mobile communication terminal.

As is well known, the prostate gland is one of the sex appendages that allow reproduction with the testicles. It produces about 35% of the liquid components of semen, and the produced prostate fluid nourishes the sperm. By stiffening the sperm to improve the sperm motility to improve the ability of sperm fertilization.

In addition, since the prostate fluid is alkaline, it neutralizes the strong acidity of the fallopian tubes, which helps the sperm to safely pass through the fallopian tubes and meet with the egg. The prostate gland is a soft tissue that is just like a chestnut under the bladder of a man. The hole in the center of the prostate gland is penetrated and the urethra passes between them.

Representative prostate diseases include enlarged prostate, prostatitis, and prostate cancer. At this time, the enlarged prostate gland is a disease caused by the accumulation of fat components in the prostate tissue, making it difficult to urinate to middle-aged men and causing various urological problems, and various treatment methods have been developed and used to treat it. Representative therapies so far include three types of heat therapy, injection therapy, physiotherapy.

Prostate heat therapy is a method of treating heat by generating heat by irradiating a range of heat (about 36 to 45 degrees) into the prostate area. That is, normal cells die at about 45 degrees, whereas tumor cells are sensitive to heat and die at about 42.5 degrees, a lower temperature. Therefore, if the temperature is maintained between 42.5 degrees and 45 degrees, normal cells can be saved and tumor cells can be killed. In general, it is mainly used for the treatment of non-bacterial prostatitis, but in some cases, it is also combined with bacterial prostatitis to improve symptoms.

In principle, it is used for the treatment of non-bacterial prostatitis, but in the case of bacterial prostatitis, it is also used to improve symptoms. Treatment of 5 to 6 sessions in one session with a 60-minute treatment at a temperature of 43 degrees Celsius results in an excellent therapeutic effect, with 66% of patients improving symptoms and 77% of patients showing reduced prostate white blood cell counts.

On the other hand, various techniques are known for such prostate thermal therapy. In order to generate therapeutic heat, first, a temperature may be generated using a heating wire. In addition, Korean Utility Model Publication No. 1999-011971 and Registration Utility Model Publication No. 130795 disclose a technology in which an electromagnet assembly in which an alternating current is supplied is composed of a silicon steel core and a coil in a rod-shaped body inserted into an anus of a patient. There is this. In addition, Korean Utility Model Publication No. 234854 discloses a technique that uses heat generation by friction between a piezoelectric element and a probe which is a metal medium.

However, in the conventional prostate treatment apparatus, as shown in FIG. 4, the main control unit 401 and the prostate treatment probe 405 are connected by a wired cable 403. Because of this, because the treatment must be treated indoors (eg, hospital) with the practitioner (doctor, nurse), there is a problem that can not guarantee the free activity of the patient.

The specific problems of the prior art will be described below.

That is, according to the prostate treatment device of the above type, conventionally, the prostate treatment should be performed only in the hospital, and can be used only indoors even if the prostate treatment is performed at home. Therefore, the same daily life cannot be performed as if the patient did not wear a prostate treatment probe.

In addition, since the configuration is connected by a wired cable, it is not good in appearance or feel.

In addition, according to the related art, it is not possible to receive professional prostate treatment according to the condition of each patient, unless the doctor directly receives treatment.

On the other hand, a person who wears a therapeutic probe module for body cavity insertion that does not need a cable connection between the portable control devices by wirelessly communicating with the portable control device, freely as if not wearing the therapeutic probe module indoors or outdoors.

The transfer rate can be up to 1 Mbps, and data is transferred over an asynchronous connectionless (ACL) link and a synchronous link oriented link (SCO). The wireless link of the present invention may also be implemented through one of the serial port profiles supported by Bluetooth, for example, a LAN access profile or a CT profile. Bluetooth modules have already been fully commercialized and developed prior to the filing date of the present invention and are now provided as small modules suitable for very small portable devices. The adoption of a Bluetooth module as a communication link has the advantage of minimizing the probability of data errors between medical devices due to electromagnetic interference. In addition, by adopting a Bluetooth module that is expected to be widely used in small household appliances, connection between other devices becomes easier. In an actual implementation, since the Bluetooth module 715 is implemented by a signal processor and a software module, the pack controller 717 may be physically implemented by another software module in the same signal processor.

Although not shown, the therapeutic probe module 1010 includes a battery capable of maintaining a power supply thereof, for example, a rechargeable secondary battery or a replaceable battery. In addition, when not in use, a manual power switch or a microprocessor integrated with the probe controller 1006 monitors external access through the Bluetooth module 1008 to switch off its own power mode when it is determined that it is not in use. The power supplied to each part of the device is controlled so that this is minimized.
