Description

Diagnosis and treatment device using the biopotential of the target area corresponding to the acupuncture point

The present disclosure relates to a diagnosis and treatment device using a biopotential of a target site corresponding to an acupuncture point.

In general, according to the Oriental view of disease (疾病觀), the human body has books (臟腑, five viscera), and when the functions of these books are harmonized with each other, it is healthy, and when the harmony of the books is scattered, various symptoms of disease occur.

The function of these organs is controlled by the energy circulation system (循環系 - the flow of Qi and blood, or 'meridian') that passes from the head to the legs and from the chest to the arms.

Since there are six organs (肝, heart, 脾, stomach, kidneys, heart) and six organs (膽, small intestine, stomach, large intestine, 膀胱, 三焦), the corresponding meridians also have 12 canonical sutras named after each book. There are 12 scriptures), and there are 8 other Qigyeong veins (寄經八脈).

Acupuncture points refer to places where energy is stored here and there in the meridian, which is the flow chart of the body's qi, and where it is easy to get it. If you choose the meridian of each meridian and remove the energy stagnation or stopping, the flow of the meridian improves and the function of the book is properly harmonized. However, it is important to find the exact acupuncture points and meridians for each individual because the acupuncture points and meridians are not regularly arranged on the body surface or muscles equally for everyone.

In the traditional way to find acupuncture points, rub the meridians related to the disease well, and on the meridians, especially pain, hollows, stiffness, lumps, coldness, burning, small dots or skin rashes are seen as acupuncture points.

In addition, when the body is sick, there is always a place where an unpleasant sensation appears in a certain area, and this place is called a pressure point. Pressure points feel tender when the flow of Qi is blocked at the acupuncture points.

However, in the case of the traditional method, since it depends on the feeling of each individual oriental doctor, the position of the acupuncture point is different for each measurer, and it is impossible to find the exact acupuncture point.

In recent years, scientific multilateral review and investigation methods for acupoints and meridians have been studied, and hypotheses related to the meridians announced so far include the vascular function theory, the neuro-humoral system function theory, the biological control system theory, the third equilibrium theory, and the oblivion. structure, etc. Among these, the most popular theory is the vasculature theory, which explains the function of the microcirculatory system in cardiovascular disease.

On the other hand, it is known that a biocurrent is generated in our body and circulates throughout the body. There are parts in the human body that have characteristics of low resistance and high potential, and specific cell groups exist in these parts. This particular cell population has a fluctuating membrane potential and has a specific structure and function. The fluctuating cell membrane potential is the amount of bioionic charge, and the place where this bioionic charge is high is the acupuncture point. That is, since the cell membrane potential moves more actively at the acupuncture points than at the non-menstrual points, the value of the capacitance component is high, but the value of the resistance component is small.

Existing meridian identification methods have been methods of identifying acupuncture points by directly applying stimulation to the skin, such as DC stimulation, high-frequency square wave stimulation, high-voltage, low-frequency impulse stimulation, and measuring resistance of the skin. However, in the conventional method, artificial electrical stimulation is applied to the human body, causing physiological changes such as cell polarization, repolarization, and depolarization in vivo, making it difficult to accurately measure. I had trouble finding it.

Throughout the present specification, when a part "includes" a certain component, it means that it may further include other components without excluding other components unless otherwise stated.

The present disclosure relates to a diagnosis and treatment device for reducing biopotential of a target site corresponding to an acupuncture point.

It has been reported that acupuncture points have relatively low impedance, high electrical conductivity, and different characteristics along the meridians compared to other skin areas.

There are parts in the human body that have characteristics of low resistance and high potential, and specific cell groups exist in these parts. The principle of oriental medicine acupuncture treatment is to change the cell membrane potential of the cell group and reach a new equilibrium state by acupuncture on this acupuncture point. When an abnormal disease occurs in the human body, fraud (邪气) acts as a factor interfering with the smooth flow of energy in the relevant meridian, so as shown in FIG.

The biopotential at an acupuncture point, tender point, or a site that causes nerve pain changes to a very high biopotential in an abnormal state than in a normal state. In electrophysiology, when stimulation occurs when a nerve cell is at a normal potential, momentary depolarization occurs and a momentary high depolarization potential occurs. This bioelectrical potential is transmitted to the brain via nerves to recognize sensations.

In this case, when the corresponding region is abnormally expressed and excessive electric potential is generated, the intensity of the pain may be defined according to how much it exceeds the threshold voltage recognized as pain.

On the other hand, pain can be alleviated by reducing the biopotential of the corresponding site (eg, acupuncture points, tender points, and treatment points). In oriental medicine, it can help the flow of qi smoothly by communicating the energy of the meridians in the acupuncture points.

Only the epidermal potential can be reduced, and the high potential generated by a high amount of degradation in the deep part can also flow out through the electrode. At this time, an amount of charge may flow out due to charging and discharging of the capacitor.

In addition, acupuncture therapy is a judicial (acupuncture that reduces energy) effect that discharges or discharges excessive acupoint energy (biological potential) in the deep part (acupuncture point, tender point) by inserting a needle using the conductivity of the needle.

Since the present invention can reduce the biopotential of the deep region by inserting a needle, the bioelectric charge of the subject can be reduced using surface electrodes or invasive Korean acupuncture. In addition, the present invention can reduce the bioelectric charge in the epidermis and core by using surface electrodes and needles.

Hereinafter, for convenience of description, a diagnosis and treatment device that reduces the biopotential of a target site corresponding to an acupuncture point will be referred to as the present device 1.

Exemplarily, various diseases can be diagnosed and treated using the apparatus 1, but hereinafter, for convenience of explanation, diagnosis and treatment of hypertension will be described. One example of various diseases may include high blood pressure, leg pain, orofacial pain, etc., but is not limited thereto.

Figure 4b is a diagram schematically showing the distribution of metallic cations appearing in acupuncture points of a human body according to an embodiment of the present application. 5 is a diagram schematically showing the configuration of a diagnosis and treatment device according to an embodiment of the present application as an equivalent circuit.

Referring to FIG. 1 , the apparatus 1 may include a biopotential controller 10, a diagnosis unit 20, a controller 30, a waveform generator 40, a storage unit 50, and an input unit 60. there is.

This device (1) is a diagnosis and treatment device that can increase the treatment effect through a new stimulation method based on the principles of oriental acupuncture treatment. The device 1 uses a capacitor to absorb and treat excess ionic charge in the human body, which is the cause of pain. The present device 1 can reduce the bioelectric charge of the subject by determining an optimal parameter for absorbing excessive ionic charge for treatment and determining an optimal frequency of a control signal for controlling charging and discharging of a capacitor.

In addition, the present device 1 can use a capacitor to draw out the aggregated charge at the corresponding part, and diagnose the state by potential analysis proportional to the amount of the drawn charge. The present device 1 can remove and treat abnormal diseases and pain by absorbing ion charges using capacitors in acupoints overcharged with ionic charges.

According to an embodiment of the present application, the biopotential control unit 10 may draw out charges accumulated at acupuncture points. In addition, the biopotential control unit 10 may reduce the biopotential of the target site. Due to the decrease in biopotential, the amount of ion distribution in the target site may be reduced.

For example, the electrode in the device 1 shown in FIG. 2 may be a surface electrode (contact type bioelectrode). The surface electrode (contact type bioelectrode) shown in FIG. 2 may include a housing. The housing may be formed in a cylindrical shape, and an internal space in which a part of the body of the subject may be accommodated may be formed inside. In other words, one surface of the lower end of the housing may be attached to a part of the subject's body, and the part of the subject's body may be accommodated in an inner space formed in the center of the lower end.

In other words, referring to FIG. 2 , the device 1 may include a plurality of diagnosis and treatment devices 111, 112, 113, 114, 115, 116, 117, 118, 119, 120, 121, and 122. there is. In the plurality of diagnosis and treatment devices, electrodes attached to a body part of an examinee and channels are connected by conducting wires, and a switch on/off controller for controlling each channel may be separately provided. In other words, each of the plurality of diagnosis and treatment devices may be controlled and driven by different control signals. Multiple diagnosis and treatment devices (111, 112, 113, 114, 115, 116, 117, 118, 119, 120, 121, 122) are attached to major acupoints located on the arms, legs, back, stomach, back of the hand, and foot. In addition, it can be attached to any part of the affected area desired by the user.

Each of the plurality of diagnosis and treatment devices may be controlled based on control command information received from the user interface. The plurality of diagnosis and treatment devices may change the operation of at least one of the number of times of charging and discharging, a time interval per one time, a charging time, a discharging time, capacitor selection information, and a switching speed according to an attached position.

For example, a plurality of diagnosis and treatment devices 111, 112, 113, 114, 115, 116, 117, 118, 119, 120, 121, and 122 are grouped into a first device 111 and 112 and a second device ( 113 and 114), third devices 115 and 116, fourth devices 117 and 118, fifth devices 119 and 120, and sixth devices 121 and 122. Groups of such treatment devices may be divided into groups to provide the same operation information when a symmetrically formed target area (acupuncture point) is located. Group classification of these treatment devices is only one embodiment for explaining the present application, but is not limited thereto, and can be modified in a variety of ways.

Although only 12 of the plurality of diagnosis and treatment devices shown in FIG. 2 are shown, they are not limited thereto, and 24 electrodes may be included. For example, each of the 12 plurality of electrodes may be attached to acupuncture points including Taeyeon, Hapgok, Jungwan, Taebaek, Sinmun, Brachial, Tibia, Taegye, Taereung, Yangji, Guheo, and Taechung. In addition, when 24 electrodes are included, they can be attached to acupuncture points existing symmetrically on the left and right sides of the body.

A plurality of diagnosis and treatment devices 111, 112, 113, 114, 115, 116, 117, 118, 119, 120, 121, and 122 are attached to acupuncture points as described in the device 1 described above to relieve pain. It absorbs (withdraws) excess ion charge in the human body, which is the cause of occurrence, diagnoses the condition through potential analysis proportional to the amount of charge drawn out, and treats abnormal diseases and pain by eliminating them.

As another example, the electrode in the device 1 shown in FIG. 3 may be an invasive one-needle electrode (tweezer-type electrode). As shown in FIG. 3 , the first tongs-type device 130 may grip the needle 1130 placed at the first acupoint of the subject. The second tongs-type device 131 may grip the needle 1131 placed at the second acupoint corresponding to the first acupuncture point of the subject.

The first tongs-type device 130 and the second tongs-type device 131 absorb (withdraw) the bio-ion charge of the subject using a needle placed at the acupuncture point, and diagnose the condition through potential analysis proportional to the amount of the drawn-out charge. , treatment can be performed by eliminating abnormal diseases and pain.

Illustratively referring to FIG. 1 , the biopotential controller 10 may include an electrode 11 , a switching unit 12 , a capacitor 13 , and a discharge unit 14 .

The electrode 11 may be attached to a body surface of a target site corresponding to an acupoint. The electrode 11 is attached to the subject's skin surface to receive bioionic charge. The target site may be an acupuncture point meridian site. Compared to non-acupuncture points, acupuncture points and meridians may be places with high resistance and low potential, and acupuncture points and meridians, where resistance is low and potential and capacitance are high.

Hereinafter, acupuncture points, acupuncture meridians, and target sites may be used interchangeably, but may refer to points with relatively low impedance and high electrical conductivity compared to other skin sites.

Illustratively, the electrode 11 may include a surface electrode and an invasive one-point electrode, but is not limited thereto. The electrode 11 is directly contacted with the body surface (skin) of the target site (acupuncture points) to receive bioionic charge. At this time, since it accepts the ionic charge of the living body itself, there is no need to apply a separate voltage or current to the human body.

According to an embodiment of the present application, the biopotential control unit 10 may generate a first potential difference related to the first biopotential by charging and discharging electric charges at a first time interval. In addition, the biopotential control unit 10 may generate a second potential difference related to the second biopotential by charging and discharging electric charges at a second time interval. In this case, the second time interval is a time interval after the first time interval, and the second potential difference may be smaller than the first potential difference.

For example, the time interval may be a set time stored in the biopotential controller 10 . For another example, the time interval may be a set time interval input from the user interface. The biopotential control unit 10 may generate a first potential difference related to the first biopotential by setting a first time interval (eg, 1 minute) and charging and discharging bioionic charges of the target site. As an example, the first potential difference may be a potential difference of the capacitor 13 in which bioionic charges are charged and discharged.

In addition, the biopotential control unit 10 may generate a third potential difference related to the third biopotential by charging and discharging electric charges at a third time interval.

As described above, the first time interval corresponds to the first time interval, the second time interval corresponds to N times, where N is a natural number greater than 1, and the third time interval corresponds to M times, where M is a natural number greater than N. can be

According to one embodiment of the present application, the first time interval corresponds to the first time interval (time 1), the second time interval corresponds to N times (10 times), and the third time interval corresponds to M times (20 times). It can be. The biopotential control unit 10 may generate a potential difference corresponding to each cycle 20 times (20 minutes) at intervals of 1 minute.

According to one embodiment of the present application, the third potential difference related to the third biopotential of the biopotential controller 10 may be the same as the second potential difference related to the second biopotential. For example, the biopotential control unit 10 may continuously decrease the biopotential at the target site (acupuncture points) at intervals of 1 minute. The biopotential control unit 10 can generate a potential difference having the same biopotential by accepting the electric charge of the target site. That is, when the second potential difference and the third potential difference are the same, the capacitor 13 of the target site (acupoint) may be saturated, but is not limited thereto.

The biopotential control unit 10 may decrease the first biopotential to the first target biopotential of the first target site by charging and discharging N times at the first target site. Exemplarily, the first target site may be a site corresponding to the body's acupoints and meridians.

The biopotential control unit 10 charges and discharges the first target site N times (for example, 20 times) at Joksamri (first target site), which is one of the foot meridians, to generate the first biopotential at Joksamri (first target site). target site) may be reduced to the first target biopotential. The target biopotential may be a saturation value, but is not limited thereto. As another example, it may be a target biopotential value set in the biopotential controller 10 .

That is, according to the target acupuncture point, the target biopotential may be set differently by the biopotential controller 10 or determined by a user's input. The target biopotential may be a potential difference of a target site, but is not limited thereto, and may be, for example, a potential difference of a capacitor.

The biopotential controller 10 may reduce the second biopotential of the second target site to the second target biopotential of the second target site by charging and discharging M times when the target site is the second target site. . However, M may be greater than 1 and may be a natural number different from N. For example, if the second target site is one of the foot meridians, the trieum bridge, by charging and discharging electric charge M times (eg, 15 times), the second biopotential of the second target site (triangle bridge) is measured as the second target site. It can be reduced to the second target biopotential of the region (the triumvirate).

The number of charging and discharging times of the first target site and the second target site and target biopotential values may be different. For example, the first target site (Joksamri) can be reduced to the first target biopotential by only 10 repetitions, but the second target site (Sameum Bridge) cannot be reduced to the second target biopotential by only 10 repetitions. It can be set to reach up to the second target biopotential by increasing .

Exemplarily, the input unit 60 may receive selection information of the first target region or the second target region through the user interface. The controller 30 may control the operation of the biopotential controller 10 based on the selection information. In this case, the selection information may include at least one of N-related information, M-related information, a first target biopotential, and a second target biopotential.

A user may input information about the first target region through a user interface, and the input unit 60 may transmit the user input information to the control unit 30 . The controller 30 may control the operation of the biopotential controller 10 by generating information on the number of times to charge and discharge electric charges in the first target site and control information of the first target biopotential based on user input information. .

In addition, the input unit 60 receives selection information of the first target region through the user interface, and the control unit 30 determines motion information based on the selection information and controls the operation of the biopotential controller based on the motion information. can do. Also, the control unit 30 may determine motion information based on user selection information, and control the operation of the biopotential controller based on the motion information.

The operation information may include at least one of information about N, a first target biopotential, a time interval per cycle, a charging time, a discharging time, capacitor selection information, and a switching speed.

The selection information may include at least one of target region information, N-related information, a first target biopotential, time interval per cycle, charging time, discharging time, capacitor selection information, and switching speed.

According to one embodiment of the present application, an input for a target region may be provided through a user interface. The input unit 60 receives information that the information of the target part is a composite acupuncture points among acupuncture points, information on N at which charging and discharging of the acupuncture points should be performed (for example, 20 times), target biopotential of the acupuncture points, At least one of the time interval per time (eg, 1 minute), charging time (eg, 1 second), discharging time (eg, 1 second), capacitor selection information, and switching speed (eg, 1 second) You can enter one.

For another example, when only information about the target region is received, the biopotential control unit 10 may reduce the biopotential of the target region by determining operation information of the target region using a preset value. That is, the biopotential control unit 10 may include operation information corresponding to each target site (menstrual points), and may receive a control operation of the biopotential control unit 10 from the control unit 30 based on the user's selection information. can

The switching unit 12 may switch ON or OFF the connection between the electrode 11 and the capacitor 13 .

The switching unit 12 may switch ON or OFF the connection between the electrode and the capacitor. The switching speed of the switching unit 12 may be controlled based on information input by the user, but is not limited thereto. The speed of the switching unit 12 may be controlled based on the switching speed information of each target part set in the biopotential control unit 121 . Bioion charges may be charged and discharged according to the speed of the switching unit 12 . The switching unit 12 turns on the circuit when charging, and completely opens the circuit when discharging to prevent reverse current.

The capacitor 13 may be charged by accepting charge through the electrode 11 when the connection of the switching unit 12 is ON.

The capacitor 13 can be charged by accepting charge through the electrodes when the connection is on. The capacitor 13 may be a variable capacitor. A capacitance of the variable capacitor may be determined based on a control signal from a controller. The variable capacitor may vary within a range of 0.1uF to 0.33uF.

The discharge unit 14 may discharge the charged capacitor 13 when the connection of the switching unit 12 is turned off. The discharge unit 14 may discharge the charged capacitor when the connection is turned off. In addition, the discharge unit 14

In addition, the biopotential control unit 10 may adjust the amount of charge absorbed from the subject's acupuncture points by adjusting the variable resistance between the electrode 11 and the capacitor 13 .

The biopotential control unit 10 can be simplified for description with a transistor Tr and a capacitor for charging and discharging (Csystem). An emitter of the transistor Tr is grounded, and a collector of the transistor Tr is connected to an electrode to receive bioionic charge. The capacitor Csystem for charging and discharging is connected between the collector and the emitter of the transistor Tr, uses a variable capacitor, and may use 0.1uF to 0.33uF. That is, a variable capacitor varying from 0.1uF to 0.33uF may be used as the capacitor for charging and discharging (Csystem).

Bioion charge is input by the electrode 11 in contact with the body surface of the target site, and the charge and discharge capacitor 13 (Csystem) is charged. The charging and discharging of the charging and discharging capacitor 13 (Csystem) is controlled according to the operation signal of the biopotential control unit 10, that is, the input signal of the base of the transistor Tr of the biopotential control unit 10. That is, the charged charge of the charging and discharging capacitor 13 (Csystem) can be discharged by the transistor Tr.

Illustratively, referring to FIG. 4A, when the target site (C1, acupuncture points) is compared to non-target sites (C2, C3, non-acupuncture points), the non-target sites (C2, C3, non-target sites) have high resistance and low potential. C3 is a non-acupuncture point), and a site with low resistance and high potential and capacitance may be the target site (C1, acupoint meridian site). For example, there is a part in the human body having characteristics of low resistance and high potential, and a specific cell group may exist in this part. This particular cell population has a fluctuating membrane potential and has a specific structure and function. The fluctuating cell membrane potential is the amount of bioionic charge, and a site with a large amount of bioionic charge may be a target site (eg, an acupuncture point) or a nerve point. That is, the target site (eg, acupuncture point site) has a high capacitance component value but a small resistance component value because the cell membrane potential moves more actively than a non-target site (eg, non-acupoint site site). By comparing and analyzing the capacitance values of specific target parts of the human body in this way, the location of the target part (eg, an acupuncture point) can be identified.

Also, referring to FIG. 5 , the target site (Cbody) may be an acupuncture point on a meridian line. This site has a biopotential, and the magnitude of the biopotential may be proportional to the charge amount of bioions at the site. It can be regarded as a charged power source (Vs: source). The capacitor for charging and discharging (Csystem) is an external electronic device, and may be a capacitor 13 for charging and discharging by drawing biological charges of the target part (Cbody). At this time, since the target part (Cbody) is larger than the charging and discharging capacitor (Csystem), the charging and discharging capacitor (Csystem) instantaneously transfers the ion charge charged in the target part (Cbody) according to the control signal of the controller 30. , and the electric potential at this time may be proportional to the size of the target site (Cbody).

Illustratively, referring to FIG. 5, FIG. 5 is a view for explaining the relationship between a capacitor and resistance at acupuncture points and nasal acupuncture points of the human body according to an embodiment of the present invention. The human body has characteristics of low resistance and high potential. A site is present, and a specific cell population may be present at this site. This particular cell population has a fluctuating membrane potential and has a specific structure and function. The fluctuating cell membrane potential is the amount of bioionic charge, and a site with a large amount of bioionic charge may be an acupuncture point or a nerve point. That is, as shown in FIG. 5, since the cell membrane potential moves more actively in the acupuncture points than in the non-acupuncture points, the value of the capacitance component is high while the value of the resistance component is small. By comparing and analyzing the capacitance values of specific target parts of the human body in this way, the position of the acupuncture point can be confirmed.

The biopotential control unit 10 can reduce the bioion charge at the meridian point or measurement site through a very small external capacitor 13 (Csystem). Since the relationship between the target part (Cbody) and the capacitor (13, System) is established, ion charge can be instantly transferred from the target part (Cbody) to the capacitor (13, Csystem). The amount charged in each capacitor 13 (Csystem) represents the amount of energy at the measurement site, and charging and discharging are repeatedly controlled by a control signal from the control unit 30. That is, when the switch of the switching unit 12 is turned on by the control signal, bioionic charges in the menstrual blood are charged to the capacitor 13, Csystem to generate a charging potential, and when the switch is turned off, the capacitor 13, Csystem ) is discharged through the discharge circuit, and a discharge potential is generated. The value of the charge/discharge potential of the capacitor (13, Csystem) is proportional to the charge amount (Cbody) of the bioion at the measured site.

The charging and discharging potential of the capacitor for charging and discharging may be proportional to the amount of electric charge of bioions at an acupuncture points or non-menstrual points. In addition, the potential at both ends of the capacitor for charging and discharging, that is, the charging and discharging potential may be defined by Equation 1 below.

[Equation 1] V1 = q / c

Here, V1 is the biopotential, that is, the charge/discharge potential, q is the charge amount of bioions, and c is the capacitance. Therefore, the biopotential (V1) is proportional to the charge amount (q) of the bioion.

A pulse signal repeating '1' and '0' is input to the base of the transistor Tr of the biopotential controller 10.

When '1' is input as the input signal of the base of the transistor Tr of the biopotential control unit 10, the transistor Tr is turned on and the charged bioionic charge of the charging and discharging capacitor 122 (Csystem) is will discharge

When '0' is input as the input signal of the base of the transistor Tr of the biopotential control unit 10, the transistor Tr is turned off so that the charge and discharge capacitor 13 (Csystem) is charged with bioionic charge. do.

As for the second experimental condition, the experiment may be conducted when the average blood pressure measured after resting for 20 minutes is 137 mmHg or more.

In the experimental method, capacitance is extracted by selecting four acupoints among the treatment acupuncture points (left and right joint, gokji, joksamri, and three yin bridges) during each experiment. Also, for all blood pressure measurement values, the average blood pressure after measurement was taken three times. In addition, after the subject lies down on the bed for 20 minutes and takes a rest, the average blood pressure is measured (0 minutes). Thereafter, the average blood pressure was measured at 5-minute intervals, and at 15 and 35 minutes, the operation of the device (1, SYSYEM) was turned on.

The principle of acupuncture treatment is to inject the acupoints into the acupuncture points and perform judicial injection, thereby releasing the electric charges accumulated at the relevant acupuncture points to affect the ion concentration inside and outside the cells of a specific cell group so that the cell membrane potential reaches a new equilibrium state.

In other words, the effect of acupuncture treatment is closely related to changes in cell membrane potential. At the beginning of most abnormal diseases, except for cases caused by hypothermia, when the cell membrane equilibrium potential is broken and the charge amount of + and -ions changes, the charge increases rather than decreases in most cases.

When the cell membrane equilibrium potential of a specific cell group present in an acupuncture point is broken, an abnormal disease occurs in the human body, and this reaction appears at the relevant meridian or acupuncture point. These reactions are more influenced by the capacitive component of the body. At this time, the initial disease or painful (sore) area is a place where morale is concentrated due to a rapid increase in electric charge, and it is advantageous for treatment to absorb morale by performing judicial action in the relevant meridian using acupuncture.

The present device 1 uses a capacitor to absorb the aggregated charge of the corresponding part (eg, meridian), and analyzes the potential proportional to the amount of absorption to check the balance of the left and right meridians, thereby confirming the potential proportional to the absorbed charge. The condition of the subject can be diagnosed through the change. In other words, since the potential of the capacitor that absorbs bioelectricity is determined by the amount of charge in the corresponding area, it appears higher in the meridians or areas where abnormal diseases in which morale is aggregated occur. Since the abnormal meridian is already overcharged by fraud, it can be treated by removing abnormal diseases and pain by absorbing it until maintaining the left and right balance using a capacitor.

Therefore, the present device 1 does not need to consider stimulation patterns for diagnosing and treating functions of the human body, and can minimize the effect on the physiological state of a specific cell group by absorbing the aggregated charges.

In other words, the present device 1 can accurately diagnose meridians in which all abnormal diseases are expected by analyzing potentials, and simultaneously treat, and maximize the therapeutic effect according to the stochastic procedure of acupuncture and acupuncture treatment.

This device (1) absorbs the bioelectricity of the human body using a capacitor, measures the potential proportional to it, converts it into a digital signal, and displays the electrical potential in real time. You can diagnose abnormal diseases and check the treatment process.

8a to 8d are diagrams showing results of clinical analysis of orofacial pain using a diagnosis and treatment device according to an embodiment of the present application.

According to one embodiment of the present application, the present device 1 can diagnose and treat orofacial pain as well as the above-described diagnosis and treatment of hypertension. Clinical experiments on the diagnosis and treatment of orofacial pain were performed using this device (1), and the DDTS-1 method is the test result performed with this device (1).

For the clinical trial method, 15 patients with dental pain, 15 patients with temporomandibular joint pain, and 15 patients with head and neck nerve disease (trigeminal neuralgia) were selected according to the classification of orofacial pain. First, 15 patients with odontogenic pain were selected as patients with pain from tooth extraction, root canal treatment, periodontal tissue disease, artificial tooth implantation, orofacial orthodontic surgery, orthodontic treatment, and all dental treatments.

In addition, 15 patients with primary trigeminal neural sinus accompanied by headaches whose exact cause was difficult to diagnose were included. In selecting subjects, head and neck pain and abnormal diseases were not considered because they appeared regardless of age or gender.

In addition, recognition as pain is very subjective and psychological, and it was difficult to measure the degree of pain, so it was limited to cases where patients visited the hospital with pain. Treatment sites were selected differently according to the classification of facial pain, and for each treatment site selection, the usual acupuncture points in oriental acupuncture treatment were selected. Common acupuncture points were further divided into local acupoints and pure acupuncture points.

In an experiment to verify the significance, reliability, and therapeutic effect of this device (1), electrodes were connected to representative blood points used for each pain treatment, as shown in FIG. 8a. Figure 8a (a) is a common acupoint position for the treatment of dental pain, Figure 8a (b) is a position used for the treatment of temporomandibular joint pain, Figure 8a (c) is a common acupoint position for the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia am.

The EAST electrical stimulation method and the DDTS-1 method were applied as stimulation methods. The EAST electrical stimulation method has a frequency of 3 Hz, a waveform of a bidirectional pulse width of 120 μs, a current intensity of 12 mA (1 kΩ load), and an energization method of interval conduction. The stimulation time was 20 minutes each, and the time interval between stimulation was set to 30 minutes. Treatment effects were compared through biopotential measurement values and questionnaire responses after treatment.

8B is a comparison result of odontogenic pain treatment effects according to stimulation methods by biopotential measurement. As shown in FIG. 8B, in the results of treatment with the DDTS-1 method, 60% of the 15 patients showed that the change in the abnormal potential was the same as or similar to the normal potential. As for the treatment effect, 73% of the patients answered "good", confirming that the treatment effect was very high. Among these patients, the case of recurrence of pain after a certain period of time after treatment with the DDTS-1 method was very low at 33%, which was judged to be more effective. It is a fundamental treatment that can be treated by minimizing the

8C is a comparison result of temporomandibular joint pain treatment effects according to stimulation methods by biopotential measurement. As shown in FIG. 8C , the result of measuring the change in abnormal potential before and after treatment by applying the DDTS-1 treatment method showed that 53% of the cases showed an increase in the change in aperture height / abnormal potential, indicating that the treatment effect was very high. In addition, it was confirmed that the treatment effect was very high with 73% of the patients who answered “good” in the questionnaire about the treatment effect.

8D is a comparison result of trigeminal neuralgia treatment effects according to stimulation methods by biopotential measurement. Although the exact cause of trigeminal neuralgia is not known, it is sometimes accompanied by severe headaches along with dental and maxillary sinus diseases. In order to treat trigeminal neuralgia, the potential before and after treatment is measured using the EAST stimulator and the DDTS-1 treatment method, and the treatment effect can be compared based on the change in pain intensity. Referring to Figure 8D, it can be confirmed that the effect after treatment is higher by DDTS-1. Potentials at the sagittal acupuncture points for the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia were compared, and the headache relief effect can be compared at the same time. Since the degree of pain is very subjective, in order to express it objectively, the degree of pain can be expressed on a scale of 0 to 10, and the normal state is regarded as 0 and the current pain state is regarded as 10, and the degree of treatment effect can be grasped by the difference in intensity according to treatment. As a result of the EAST stimulation method, the difference in pain intensity before and after treatment (1 hour) was 5 or more, and the treatment effect was high in 20%.
