Description
The present invention relates to a magnetic stimulator, and more particularly, to a magnetic stimulator for stimulating the brain, which is a method for stimulating the brain without surgical operation.
Transcranial magentic stimulation (TMS) is a high magnetic field generated by flowing a fixed flow between magnetic coils for 0.2 - 0.9 msec, allowing a current to flow through the cerebral cortex and stimulating the brain without surgery . By applying a time-varing magnetic field outside the human body to induce an induced electric field induced by the Faraday's induction law inside the human body, It is a non-invasive technique that gives electrical stimulation to the tissue. This is mainly focused on depression, but studies are under way on various fields such as tinnitus, pain treatment, and post-stroke neuropsychiatric rehabilitation.

Of brain stimulation.
However, in the conventional TMS apparatus including the prior art, the electromagnetic field generated in the electromagnetic coil is greatly reduced as the distance from the coil is increased, and the effect is stimulated only in the cortex of the brain within about 2 to 3 cm from the scalp There is a problem that is limited to doing. In addition, since the shape of the coil used in the conventional magnetic stimulator is a donut shape or a top shape corresponding to a single coil, there is a problem that locally irritation is difficult because a focus is not formed at a desired site.

The protruding portion may include a lower vertical portion bent downward from one side of the body portion, a horizontal portion bent horizontally to the body portion at the lower vertical portion, and an upper vertical portion bent toward the body portion from the horizontal portion. It can have a U-shape.
In addition, the body portion may be formed in a rectangular shape so that one side edge thereof is in contact with one another.
In addition, the protrusion may be located at the center of one side edge of the rectangular body.

A magnetic stimulator according to one embodiment of the present invention may be used for various types of treatment, for example, depression, neuropathic treatment, or stimulation of the cerebral region. It can be used by the following sequence.
First, a magnetic stimulator according to an embodiment of the present invention may be connected to a power source (S1) together with other medical devices for the purpose of the procedure. At this stage, whether the magnetic stimulator is operated or not may be determined by operating a separate switch after the magnetic stimulator is connected to the power source. If you want to use the magnetic stimulator, switch it on. If you do not want to use it, switch it off.
Next, if a cerebral stimulation site is determined at a specific position of the head of the user according to the disease or symptom, a magnetic stimulator may be installed at the specific position (S2). At this time, the stimulation by the magnetic stimulator according to the present invention can be performed in the form of an area stimulus in which the focus of the stimulation is cyclically shifted over a certain region. Thus, the area stimulation site should be determined (S2). The determination of the site to be stimulated at this time can be performed according to a method known in the art, but is not limited thereto.
If the area stimulation site is determined (S2), then the stimulation focus can be determined (S3). The determination of the stimulus focus refers to the area in which the focus is moved, the time at which the focus moves, the intensity of the magnetic field at the focus, and the depth at which the focus is formed in the stimulus. This can be achieved by the
When the stimulation focus is determined in the stimulation region (S3), a time-varying magnetic field may be applied (S3). The time-varying magnetic field may be generated through voltage or current control applied to both ends of each magnetic coil unit. The focus can be changed at the area stimulation site by application of the time-varying magnetic field (S4) and movement of the magnetic stimulator.
Next, it may be determined whether the focus change is according to a preset value (S5). If it is out of the preset range of values, the time-varying magnetic field can be adjusted again (S6). On the other hand, the time-varying magnetic field can be repeatedly applied if it is within the range of the predetermined value (S4). The parameters of the preset values may be, for example, time, stimulus size or focus position, but are not limited thereto.
When a time-varying magnetic field is formed from the

This is because the contact area between the two coils is widened because the contact area between the two coils is widened and the magnetic field generated by the current flowing through the coil is further overlapped.
