Description

用于经颅磁的治疗靶点自动定位方法、系统及头盔 技术领域
本发明涉及经颅磁刺激医疗技术领域,尤其涉及一种用于经颅磁的治疗靶点自动定位方法、系统及头盔。
背景技术
抑郁症是最常见的精神疾病之一,在世界范围内影响着超过3.5亿人,已成为仅次于心脏病的人类健康的第二大疾病,其主要表现为情绪低落、思维迟缓、认知障碍等,严重者会反复出现自杀念头。
抑郁症的治疗分为药物治疗、心理治疗和物理治疗。目前,抑郁症主要通过药物治疗来缓解症状,但该方法费用昂贵而且需要长期服药容易导致严重的毒副作用与耐药性。心理治疗需要大量专业的心理治疗师的大量时间,目前国内缺口极大且短期内难以改善。物理治疗方法因为其无毒副作用、大幅提高接诊率和医治效率、治疗效果明显越来越得到推崇,特别是经颅磁技术(Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation,TMS),具有无创、无痛、安全、非侵入性、见效快的特点。
经颅磁刺激治疗是利用脉冲磁场穿透颅骨,在大脑神经组织产生感应电流,引起靶区神经元的去极化从而产生生理效应,达到治疗抑郁症的效果。研究发现抑郁症用户的左侧背外侧前额叶(The dorsolateral prefrontal cortex,DLPFC)功能活动减弱,右侧DLPEC功能活动增强。高频经颅磁刺激左侧DLPEC增强其皮质活动或者低频刺激右侧DLPFC抑制其皮质活动均可改善抑郁症用户的症状。
除了治疗抑郁症,TMS还是多种神经类(癫痫、帕金森病、儿童注意缺陷多动障碍、肌萎缩侧索硬化症等)、精神类(人格障碍、精神分裂症等)、运动康复类(脑卒中等)疾病的推荐治疗方案。
经颅磁治疗的效果依赖于正确的治疗靶点。但是由于靶点在大脑内部,无法看见,难以确定是否找到。目前,绝大多数的经颅磁产品需要专业的医师根据解剖学知识和行医经验寻找靶点,操作繁琐,通常需要花费15分钟以上的时间才能找到靶点,进行治疗。而缺乏经验的医生十分容易找错靶点,治疗位置偏差较大,导致治疗效果不好,甚至无效。
为了解决这一问题,业界提出了使用结合磁共振(MRI)断层扫描的脑结构三维重建进行脑区靶点的定位与导航,但是该方法及其昂贵且复杂,难以普及。针对这一问题,本发明公开了一种用于经颅磁自动寻找治疗靶点的方法及系统。根据解剖学统计规律,利用动作诱 发电位现象,电机控制方法和生物反馈原理,实现自动寻找抑郁症治疗靶点的方法与系统。本系统平均可以在三十秒内找到治疗靶点,将寻找时间缩短90%以上,操作简单,成本大幅降低,全程自动化,能有效提高经颅磁刺激的治疗效果。

具体实施方式
下面结合附图和实施例对本发明的技术方案做进一步的详细说明。
作为本发明的一实施例,如图1-10所示,提出了一种用于经颅磁的治疗靶点自动定位方法,经颅磁刺激脑区,根据动作诱发电位采集对侧靶肌的皮肤表面肌电值,基于查找算法更 新经颅磁拍头坐标寻找肌电值大于判定阈值的坐标点以判定经颅磁拍头到达初级运动皮层区,根据初级运动皮层区与对应治疗靶点的位置关系将经颅磁拍头定位至治疗靶点。
大量临床研究和解剖学统计结论表明:
大脑初级运动皮层区沿着头皮向前移动5到6cm是抑郁症的治疗靶点:左侧背外侧前额叶(The dorsolateral prefrontal cortex,DLPFC)。
动作诱发电位(Motor Evoked Potentials,MEP):刺激运动皮质,可以检测到对侧靶肌的肌肉运动复合电位。
使用经颅磁刺激大脑初级运动皮层区M1,可以使大拇指产生不由自主地运动。使用肌电采集器,可以捕捉到大拇指运动的肌电信号,从而判断经颅磁拍头是否到达M1区域。临床上,通常把使M1脑区产生动作诱发电位波幅大于判定阈值的最小强度称为运动阈值或参考值,作为其他皮层的刺激强度。根据当前经颅磁拍头坐标,控制经颅磁拍头沿着头皮向前运动相应地距离,即可找到抑郁症治疗靶点。
当找到M1脑区后,系统自动调节磁刺激强度,记录MEP值,直至找到用于其他皮层刺激治疗的刺激强度。
记最优磁刺激强度为S,通常强度为100%—0%,逐级下调强度,直至MEP值首次小于判定阈值MEP_Threshold,通常设置为50uv,则上一次磁刺激强度为磁刺激最优强度。
S=D*10+U,D取0至10的整数,U取0至9的整数,记S强度时MEP值为MEP_D_U。
首先,十位查找:D从10向0调整,MEP_i_0逐级下降,当MEP_i_0>MEP_Threshold而且MEP_i-1_0<MEP_Threshold,D确定为i-1。
其次,个位查找:U从9向0调整,MEP_D_j逐级下降,当MEP_D_j>MEP_Threshold而且MEP_D_j-1<MEP_Threshold,D确定为j。
由此确定最优磁刺激强度S=D*10+U。
如图8所示,本发明采集了11位志愿者的基本信息和M1脑区坐标,进行了统计学分析,发现成年男性的头部大小有很强的规律性:
头围尺寸大小与体重关系不大;
头围尺寸大小与身高关系不大;
头围尺寸大小与胖瘦(BMI)关系不大;
矢状线(鼻根到枕后)长度与体重关系不大;
冠状线(左耳前凹至右耳前凹)长度与体重关系不大;
成年男性的头部大小差别不大,有些人看起来头大其实是脸大,脸部脂肪多导致视觉上 看起来较大。由头部大小差别不大,可以推论内部特定脑区的位置在经颅磁头盔上的坐标差别也不会太大,从而可以通过自动搜索算法找到。
目前,大部分经颅磁治疗靶点根据国际脑电图学会规定的10-20标准导联系统确定。实际上,标准系统无法解决每个人的脑袋的形状不同,不同人功能脑区的大小分布不同的问题,通常定位误差较大。
为了解决这一问题,本发明提出了基于动作诱发电位的二分法脑区定位方法:使用TMS刺激脑区,采集大拇指肌电,根据不同坐标对应的肌电值对比更新下一次经颅磁拍头坐标,直至找到目标治疗靶点。
采集N位志愿者M1脑区坐标,记第n位志愿者脑区坐标为(Theta_n,R_n,Alpha_n),其中Theta_n为头盔的圆周角度,R_n为头盔的半径标度,Alpha_n为经颅磁拍头的自旋角度,由于经颅磁拍头的自旋角度规律性较强,绝大多数情况为35,故经颅磁拍头在头盔上的位置主要由(Theta_n,R_n)决定。大部分人的M1脑区坐标在一个较小的区域内,可以拟合出一个最优搜索路径。为了计算方便,需要将头盔的极坐标系转换成直接坐标系,公式为:
Figure PCTCN2022123391-appb-000001
具体的,搜索路径由最优搜索路径y=K_1*x+B_1和垂直搜索路径y=K_2*x+B_2组成。当最优搜索路径阶段已搜索成功,则不需要进入垂直搜索路径阶段。
表1公开了11位男性志愿者基于MEP的脑区定位统计表:
序号 圆周角度(度) 半径标度(度) 经颅磁拍头角度(度)
1 48 40 35
2 65 21 35
3 63 31 35
4 61 30 35
5 65 21 35
6 51 40 35
7 52 33 35
8 64 27 35
9 58 32 35
10 62 25 35
11 67 27 35
如图7所示,基于11个M1脑区的具体坐标点,在一个狭长的区域内,计算出离所有点最近的直线,即最优搜索路径的参数:K_1=0.54,B_1=16.90,则最优搜索路径的直角坐标系表达式:y=0.54*x+16.90。
第一阶段:基于最优搜索路径搜索
根据收集到的脑区坐标集合(X_n,Y_n),确定最优搜索路径,计算公式为:
Figure PCTCN2022123391-appb-000002
确定最优搜索路径上最左侧的搜索点(X_Min,K_1*X_Min+B_1),最右侧搜索点(X_Max,K_1*X_Max+B_1)。
为满足大部分人群符合两侧搜索点的范围,设置左侧缩小系数和右侧放大系数:
Figure PCTCN2022123391-appb-000003
其中,L_Scale为左侧缩小系数,取值范围为(0,1],R_Scale为右侧放大系数,取值范围为(1,2]。典型地,L_Scale取0.9,R_Scale取1.1。
最大搜索次数影响搜索坐标的精度和搜索速度,最大搜索次数增大,最终坐标精度提高,同时搜索次数变多,搜索时间加大。为了平衡精度和速度,根据最左侧搜索点和最右侧搜索点计算第一阶段最大搜索次数Search_Count_Max:
Search_Count_Max=2+[log 2(X_max-X_min)]   (4)
公式(4)中,2代表最左侧和最右侧的搜索点,[log 2(X_max-X_min)]为中间需要进行的搜索次数,搜索分辨率为1。为搜索方便,设置中间变量X_Left,X_Right,X_Mid,初始化X_Left为X_Min,X_Right为X_Max;设置搜索成功标志Flag_Success,初始化为0;设置搜索成功治疗靶点的横坐标为Success_X。
第一个点:横坐标为X_Left,控制拍头移动到坐标(Theta_Left,R_Left,Alpha_0),其中直角坐标转化成极坐标的公式为:
Figure PCTCN2022123391-appb-000004
触发磁刺激,记录此时大拇指的肌电值Left_Mep,若Left_Mep大于判定阈值Mep_Threshold,则搜索成功,停止搜索,此时Flag_Success设为1,Success_X设为X_Left;否则进行下一个点的搜索。
第二个点:横坐标为X_Right,控制拍头移动到坐标(Theta_Right,R_Right,Alpha_0), 触发磁刺激,记录此时大拇指的肌电值Right_Mep,若Right_Mep大于判定阈值Mep_Threshold,则搜索成功,停止搜索,Flag_Success设为1,Success_X设为X_Right;否则进行下一个点的搜索。
第三个点至第Search_Count_Max个点:横坐标为X_Mid=(X_Left+X_Right)/2,经颅磁拍头移动到坐标(Theta_Mid,R_Mid,Alpha_0),触发磁刺激,记录此时大拇指的肌电值Mid_Mep,若Mid_Mep大于判定阈值Mep_Threshold,则搜索成功,停止搜索,Flag_Success设为1,Success_X设为X_Mid。若搜索不成功,进行更新:若肌电值Left_Mep>Right_Mep,更新X_Right为X_Mid,更新Right_Mep为Mid_Mep,否则,更新X_Left为X_Mid,更新Left_Mep为Mid_Mep,进行下一个点的搜索,直至第Search_Count_Max个点停止。
搜索完最后一个点,若搜索成功标志Flag_Success仍然为0,第一阶段搜索最优点P_1_Opt的横坐标Opt_1_X设置为X_Mid。若肌电值Left_Mep>Right_Mep,Opt_1_X更新为X_Left;若Left_Mep<Right_Mep,Opt_1_X更新为X_Right。
作为本发明最优搜索路径的实施例,根据最优搜索路径的直角坐标系表达式:y=0.54*x+16.90,确定最优搜索路径上最左侧点横坐标X_Min=0.9*8.87=7.98,最右侧点横坐标X_Max=1.1*23.76=29.44。第一阶段最大搜索次数Search_Count_Max=2+[log2(29.44-7.98)]=6。搜索成功标志Flag_Success初始化为0,判定阈值Mep_Threshold设置为50。
第1个点:横坐标为X_Left=X_Min=7.98,换算成头盔极坐标(19.35,22.65,35),电机控制拍头运动到该点,触发磁刺激,采集到MEP值Left_Mep=47.49,小于Mep_Threshold,进行下一点搜索。
第2个点:横坐标为X_Right=X_Max=29.44,换算成头盔极坐标(48.02,44.01),电机控制拍头运动到该点,触发磁刺激,采集到MEP值Right_Mep=4.95,小于Mep_Threshold,进行下一点搜索。
第3个点:横坐标为X_Mid=(X_Left+X_Right)/2=18.71,换算成头盔极坐标(55.22,32.81,35),电机控制拍头运动到该点,触发磁刺激,采集到MEP值Mid_Mep=32.09,小于Mep_Threshold,由于Left_Mep>Right_Mep,更新X_Right为X_Mid,更新Right_Mep为Mid_Mep,进行下一点搜索。
第4个点:横坐标为X_Mid=(X_Left+X_Right)/2=13.35,换算成头盔极坐标(60.99,27.53,35),电机控制拍头运动到该点,触发磁刺激,采集到MEP值Mid_Mep=40.84,小于Mep_Threshold,由于Left_Mep>Right_Mep,更新X_Right为X_Mid,更新Right_Mep为Mid_Mep,进行下一点搜索。
第5个点:横坐标为X_Mid=(X_Left+X_Right)/2=10.67,换算成头盔极坐标(64.76,25.02,35),电机控制拍头运动到该点,触发磁刺激,采集到MEP值Mid_Mep=49.24,小于Mep_Threshold,由于Left_Mep>Right_Mep,更新X_Right为X_Mid,更新Right_Mep为Mid_Mep,进行下一点搜索。
第6个点:横坐标为X_Mid=(X_Left+X_Right)/2=9.33,换算成头盔极坐标(66.94,23.81,35),电机控制拍头运动到该点,触发磁刺激,采集到MEP值Mid_Mep=45.77,小于Mep_Threshold。
由于达到第一阶段最大搜索次数Search_Count_Max=6,Flag_Success仍然为0,第一阶段搜索结果Opt_1_X设置为X_Mid。若Right_Mep>Left_Mep,Right_Mep<Mid_Mep,Opt_1_X更新为X_Right=10.67,进行下一阶段搜索。
第二阶段:基于垂直搜索路径搜索
根据第一阶段搜索结果Opt_1_X和最优搜索路径参数K_1计算垂直搜索路径y=K_2*x+B_2的参数:
Figure PCTCN2022123391-appb-000005
确定垂直搜索路径上最左侧的搜索点(X_Ver_Min,K_2*X_Ver_Min+B_2),最右侧搜索点(X_Ver_Max,K_2*X_Ver_Max+B_2)。其中
Figure PCTCN2022123391-appb-000006
其中,D_Scale为左侧缩小系数,取值范围为(0,1],U_Scale为右侧放大系数,取值范围为(1,2]。典型地,D_Scale取0.85,U_Scale取1.15。
根据最左侧搜索点和最右侧搜索点计算第二阶段最大搜索次数Search_Ver_Count_Max:
Search_Ver_Count_Max=3+log 2(X_Ver_max-X_Ver_min)  (8)
公式(8)中,3代表最左侧搜索点、最右侧搜索点以及为提高搜索分辨率的最后一个搜索点,log 2(X_Ver_max-X_Ver_min)为中间需要进行的搜索次数,搜索分辨率为0.5。根据实验发现,垂直搜索分辨率为最优搜索分辨率的二分之一较优。为搜索方便,设置中间变量X_Ver_Left,X_Ver_Right,X_Ver_Mid,初始化X_Ver_Left为X_Ver_Min,X_Ver_Right为X_Ver_Max。
第一个点:横坐标为X_Ver_Left,经颅磁拍头移动至坐标(Theta_Ver_Left,R_Ver_Left,Alpha_0),触发磁刺激,记录此时大拇指的肌电值Left_Ver_Mep,若Left_Ver_Mep大于判定阈值Mep_Threshold,则搜索成功,停止搜索,Flag_Success设为1,Success_X设为X_ Ver_Left;否则进行下一个点的搜索。
第二个点:横坐标为X_Ver_Right,经颅磁拍头移动到坐标(Theta_Ver_Right,R_Ver_Right,Alpha_0),触发磁刺激,记录此时大拇指的肌电值Right_Ver_Mep,若Right_Ver_Mep大于判定阈值Mep_Threshold,则搜索成功,停止搜索,Flag_Success设为1,Success_X设为X_Ver_Right;否则进行下一个点的搜索。
第三个点至第Search_Ver_Count_Max个点:横坐标为X_Ver_Mid=(X_Ver_Left+X_Ver_Right)/2,经颅磁拍头移动到坐标(Theta_Ver_Mid,R_Ver_Mid,Alpha_0),触发磁刺激,记录此时大拇指的肌电值Mid_Ver_Mep,若Mid_Ver_Mep大于判定阈值Mep_Threshold,则搜索成功,停止搜索,Flag_Success设为1,Success_X设为X_Ver_Mid。若搜索不成功,进行更新:若Left_Ver_Mep>Right_Ver_Mep,更新X_Ver_Right为X_Ver_Mid,更新Right_Ver_Mep为Mid_Ver_Mep,否则,更新X_Ver_Left为X_Ver_Mid,更新Left_Ver_Mep为Mid_Ver_Mep,进行下一个点的搜索,直至搜索至第Search_Ver_Count_Max个点停止。
搜索完最后一个点,若搜索成功标志Flag_Success仍然为0,第二阶段搜索最优点P_2_Opt的横坐标Opt_1_X设置为X_Ver_Mid。若Left_Ver_Mep>Right_Ver_Mep,Opt_1_X更新为X_Ver_Left;若Left_Ver_Mep<Right_Ver_Mep,Opt_2_X更新为X_Ver_Right。
作为本发明垂直搜索路径的实施例,根据第一阶段搜索结果Opt_1_X=10.67和最优搜索路径参数K_1=0.54,计算垂直搜索路径的参数:K_2=-1.86,B_2=42.49,则直角坐标系表达式:y=-1.86*x+42.49。
设定垂直搜索路径上最左侧点横坐标X_Ver_Min=0.85*10.67=9.07,最右侧点横坐标X_Ver_Max=1.15*10.67=12.27。第二阶段最大搜索次数Search_Ver_Count_Max=3+[log2(12.27-9.07)]=4。
第1个点:横坐标为X_Ver_Left=X_Ver_Min=9.07,换算成头盔极坐标(70.5,27.17,35),经颅磁拍头运动到该点,触发磁刺激,采集到MEP值Left_Ver_Mep=48.33,小于Mep_Threshold,进行下一点搜索。
第2个点:横坐标为X_Ver_Right=X_Ver_Max=12.27,换算成头盔极坐标(58.02,23.17,35),经颅磁拍头运动到该点,触发磁刺激,采集到MEP值Right_Mep=46.85,小于Mep_Threshold,进行下一点搜索。
第3个点:为第一阶段最优点,横坐标为X_Ver_Mid=Opt_1_X=10.67,换算成头盔极坐标(64.76,25.02,35),MEP值Mid_Ver_Mep=49.24,小于Mep_Threshold,由于Left_Ver _Mep>Right_Ver_Mep,更新X_Ver_Right为X_Ver_Mid,更新Right_Ver_Mep为Mid_Ver_Mep,进行下一点搜索。
第4个点:横坐标为X_Ver_Mid=(X_Ver_Left+X_Ver_Right)/2=9.87,换算成头盔极坐标(67.75,26.06,35),经颅磁拍头运动到该点,触发磁刺激,采集到MEP值Mid_Ver_Mep=55.98,大于Mep_Threshold,搜索成功,Flag_Success设为1,Success_X设为9.87。因此,搜索成功靶点的横坐标为9.87,换算成头盔的极坐标点即为脑区靶点坐标。
第三阶段:经颅磁拍头自旋搜索
若垂直搜索路径搜索完毕,仍未搜索成功,即Flag_Success仍然为0,此时经颅磁拍头的坐标为所有已搜索点中离M1区最近的点。经颅磁拍头的线圈进行自旋,通过改变Alpha_n进行搜索。Alpha_n初始为35,依次搜索典型值按照出现频次进行排列,典型值如30,40,0。
自旋搜索完毕,如果仍未找到靶点,输出自动搜索失败,提醒医师根据离群坐标库进行手动查找。
同理,目前已实现的算法有解析类,如梯度下降法、斐波那契法、黄金分割法、插值法、切线法、二分法等;概率类,如模拟退火、遗传算法、禁忌搜索、蚁群算法等以及解析和概率混合类。其中基于二分法的脑区定位算法,时间复杂度和空间复杂度最优,为对数阶O(logN)。
梯度下降法:从点P_k出发,到达点P_k+1,迭代公式P_k+1=P_k+t_k*D_k,其中t_K为步长,D_k为点P_k出发使MEP值变化最快的方向(梯度),直至MEP值不再变化,搜索停止。
斐波那契法:斐波那契数列:F_n=F_n-2+F_n-1,F_0=F_1=1,斐波那契分数:F_n-1/F_n,从初始点P_a和P_b开始搜索第i个点t的公式:t_i=a+(b-a)*F_n-i/F_n,搜索精度:(b-a)/F_n。
黄金分割法:从初始点P_a和P_b开始搜索第i个点t的公式:t_i=a+(b-a)*0.618^i
插值法:采集点P_i和MEP_i的数值,不断用不超过三次的多项式来近似MEP,再用插值多项式的极值点来逼近最优点P_Opt。
概率类算法:
从点P_k出发,到达点P_k+1,迭代公式P_k+1=P_k+t_k*D_k,其中t_K为步长,D_k为点P_k出发的随机方向。若MEP变大则接受此方向,否则拒绝。如此迭代,直至MEP值不再变化,搜索停止。
本发明详细公开了基于二分法的脑区定位算法,基于相同或相似同理,根据MEP值确定具体取点的坐标,取点的方法笼统的来说,即往MEP值增大的方向取点,解析类、概率类以及解析类与概率类的混合算法均能通过MEP值的大小判定是否找到最优点P_Opt。
根据解剖学和临床统计规律,确定待治疗疾病k的治疗靶点和找到的M1区相对坐标差为(Theta_Diff_k,R_Diff_k)。若用户m找到的M1区坐标为(Theta_m,R_m,Alpha_m),运动控制模块将经颅磁拍头运动至治疗靶点(Theta_Treat_k,R_Treat_k,Alpha_0)=(Theta_m+Theta_Diff_k,R_m+R_Diff_k,Alpha_m)。
如图10和图13所示,在右手第一骨间背侧肌处贴采集电极,在右侧豌豆骨处贴参考电极,两个采集电极相距2cm。设t时刻采集到的肌电值为p(t),通常刺激伪迹远大于正常MEP值,设置刺激伪迹阈值为Artifact_Vpp,查找第k时刻的值大于Artifact_Vpp,取第k+Artf时刻至k+Duration时刻为Mep计算范围,其中,Artf为伪迹持续时间,本案取0.003,Duration为Mep持续时间,如本案为0.03,则Mep数值为:
Figure PCTCN2022123391-appb-000007
最优的搜索路径是距离所有已知用户治疗靶点坐标最近的直线,其参数的选取很大程度上影响着靶点坐标搜索的速度和准确度。
因此,本发明的一实施例公开了最优搜索路径的自动更新算法,记录新用户定位成功的脑区坐标,进行统计学离群性判断,若不属于离群值将存入标准坐标库,随后对路径参数进行更新。随着治疗用户数量的增多,坐标库的数据将逐渐增大,对人群脑区的分布规律的描述将越来越准确,最优路径参数会越来越优化,寻找靶点的速度会越来越快且越来越准。
治疗第M+1个用户前,标准脑区坐标库共有M个坐标值(Theta_m,R_m,Alpha_m),根据上述极坐标到直角坐标转换公式,计算出坐标的直角坐标(X_m,Y_m),最优搜索路径参数为K_1和B_1,到最优路径的距离为Dis_m,其计算方法为:
Figure PCTCN2022123391-appb-000008
根据上述二分法自动搜索到第M+1个用户的坐标值(Theta_m+1,R_m+1,Alpha_m+1),根据上述极坐标到直角坐标转换公式,计算出坐标的直角形式(X_m+1,Y_m+1)及其距离Dis_m+1。
医学上难以有100%的规律,比如绝大多数人的心脏在左侧,但大概有十万分之一的概率长在右侧。使用符合大数规律的数据优化参数,可以使得系统的性能越来越好。但是使用特殊情况训练系统,则可能导致系统性能变差,越更新越发散。因此需要对新的坐标点进行统计学分析,判断为正常值后加入脑区坐标库指导最优路径更新,否则加入离群坐标库。
先计算坐标库的数学期望Dis_Mean_M和标准差Dis_Std_M
Figure PCTCN2022123391-appb-000009
根据上述参数判断新坐标是否为正常值。若Dis_m+1<Dis_Mea_M+3*Dis_Std_M,则有99.73%的把握认为该点为正常值,将其加入脑区坐标库,否则认为该点为离群值,加入离群坐标库。
若有新坐标加入坐标库,则进行最优路径参数的更新。计算出新参数K_1_New,B_1_New,将K_1更新为K_1_New,将B_1更新为B_1_New:
Figure PCTCN2022123391-appb-000010
根据上述垂直搜索路径得到的脑区坐标(67.75,26.06,35),判断其是否加入标准坐标库。
原坐标库各点和最优路径的距离均值Dis_Mean_M=1.56,标准差Dis_Std_M=0.7。
新坐标与最优搜索路径的距离Dis_m+1=1.74<Dis_Mea_M+3*Dis_Std_M,为正常值,加入标准脑区坐标库,计算新的最优搜索路径参数:K_1_N=0.51,B_1_N=17.43;
因此,最优搜索路径的直角坐标系表达式:y=0.51*x+17.43。
如图11-12所示,作为本发明的另一实施例,提出了一种基于诱发电位的靶点定位系统,包括经颅磁刺激主机、拍头控制模块、肌电采集模块、信号处理模块、通讯模块和显示模块;其中,
肌电采集模块用于采集用户对侧靶肌的皮肤表面的肌电信号,由采集电极和参考电极组成。经颅磁刺激患者运动脑区时,电流经过神经通路传递到相应身体部位,如手、脚等,相应身体部位会产生动作,贴于身体相应部分的肌电采集器,可以采集到相应的肌电信号。
信号处理模块根据皮肤表面的肌电信号计算经颅磁拍头坐标和磁刺激参数。
为进一步对肌电信号处理,采集到的肌电需要进行处理得到TMS刺激相应区域的MEP值,作为坐标更新的依据。通常肌电信号中包含刺激伪迹,需要对其进行去除,提取出实际的MEP值。
根据治疗方案,计算经颅磁刺激的频率、强度、脉冲数、间隔、时长等参数。向经颅磁刺激主机发送经颅磁拍头坐标和磁刺激触发指令,接受MEP值,通过自动定位算更新出经颅磁拍头坐标,直至找到目标治疗靶点。
经颅磁刺激主机根据磁刺激参数,通过通信模块发送对应强度的磁刺激触发指令至经颅 磁拍头,包括相应频率、强度、脉冲数、间隔和时长的电磁波。
拍头控制模块根据经颅磁拍头坐标将经磁颅拍头移动至指定治疗靶点。通过三个电机控制经颅磁拍头到达头盔的指定位置,对用户的治疗靶点进行治疗。治疗时,患者佩戴头盔,经颅磁拍头在半球形头盔内部贴着用户头部,可以在头盔上通过电机控制进行沿圆周的转动,以及沿半径的滑动,以此确定治疗靶点;同时,经颅磁拍头还可以进行线圈自转,调整磁场聚焦的方向。具体的,经颅磁拍头的坐标由头盔圆周角度(Theta)、头盔半径标度(R)、拍头角度(Alpha)确定。当然,经颅磁拍头不一定处于头盔内部,也设计在一个三自由度的机械系统内,通过三个自由度的坐标实现经颅磁拍头位置的定位。
肌电采集模块由贴于相应身体部位的采集电极和参考电极组成,经颅磁拍头刺激脑区时,电流经过神经通路传递到相应身体部位,相应身体部位产生动作即可采集到肌电信号。
本系统还包括与经颅磁刺激主机相连的显示模块,用于显示用户信息,经颅磁治疗方案,肌电信号数据及波形、经颅磁拍头的实时坐标以及诱发电位值等信息。
通信模块用于连接信号处理模块、经颅磁刺激主机、拍头控制模块、肌电采集模块和显示模块,目前实现了有线(包括但不限于STD和CAMAC总线、ISA总线、VXI总线、PCI、Compact及PXI总线、RS-232C、RS-422A、RS-485、USB、IEEE-1943、IEEE488、SCSI总线、MXI总线)和无线(包括但不限于自定义协议、IEEE802.15.4协议、ZigBee协议、蓝牙协议、LoRa以及UWB通信方式)方式。
用户佩戴装有经颅磁拍头的头盔,触发单次经颅磁刺激,采集对侧靶肌的运动诱发电位,比较不同坐标的诱发电位更新经颅磁拍头的位置,直至寻找到初级运动区。根据治疗靶点和初级运动区的相对位置关系,运动控制模块将经颅磁拍头定位到治疗靶点。
本发明根据解剖学统计规律,利用动作诱发电位现象的生物反馈原理,可以在30秒内找到治疗靶点,将寻找时间缩短90%以上,操作简单,成本大幅降低,全程自动化,能有效提高经颅磁刺激的治疗效果。
同理,还可根据视觉诱发电位,听觉诱发电位,嗅觉诱发电位和事件相关电位等确定对应脑区坐标,再根据特定脑区和治疗靶点的相对位置关系,将经颅磁拍头移动到目标治疗靶点,进行治疗。治疗靶点除了抑郁症的侧背外侧前额叶,还可以是神经类(癫痫、帕金森病、儿童注意缺陷多动障碍、肌萎缩侧索硬化症等)、精神类(人格障碍、精神分裂症等)、运动康复类(脑卒中等)疾病的治疗靶区。以视觉诱发电位为例,用户头戴有电极的脑电帽,脑电信号实时传递给信号处理模块。用户由静息状态通过观看视频或图片进入视觉诱发状态,信号处理模块根据前后脑电图的差异确定视觉脑区坐标(Theta_VEP,R_VEP,Alpha_VEP), 再根据视觉脑区和治疗靶点的相对坐标差(Diff_Theta_VEP,Diff_R_VEP,Diff_Alpha_VEP),计算出治疗靶点的坐标(Theta_VEP+Diff_Theta_VEP,R_VEP+Diff_R_VEP,Alpha_VEP+Diff_Alpha_VEP),控制经颅磁拍头到达相应坐标进行治疗。
图13至图19所示,本发明实施例公开了一种经颅磁磁刺激头盔的结构示意图,包括头盔本体1、经颅磁拍头2以及控制经颅磁拍头2在头盔本体1内转动的拍头转动模组21,所述拍头转动模组21连接用于经颅磁的治疗靶点自动定位系统。头盔本体1的外形跟现有的头盔类似,但内部的腔体应符合人体工程学的要求。头盔本体1包括头盔上壳11和头盔下壳12。所述头盔上壳11设有用于拍头转动模组21前后运动的弧形导轨43,拍头转动模组21包括用于驱动经颅磁拍头2沿弧形导轨43前后移动的上下运动机构4和用于驱动头盔上壳11沿头盔下壳12左右运动的水平运动机构3。
为了便于佩戴后固定用户颈部位置,在头盔上壳11内置有头盔内衬,头盔下壳12连接有颈托内衬,头盔内衬和颈托内衬均采用软性材料包裹硬质头箍制成,中间填充海绵垫,使与头部贴合的位置柔软舒服。头盔内衬和颈托内衬设计成可拆卸更换方式。颈托内衬的底部活动连接有绑带,绑带与颈托内衬采用转动方式连接,便于佩戴后下拉下巴绑带使其套在用户的下巴部位。通过颈托内衬和绑带使头盔本体1与人体头部紧固在一起,便于定位,也有利于提高磁刺激治疗时的准确度。无论用户的头部是否出现晃动,因两者紧密结合在一起,也可以准确刺激治疗,能够提高治疗舒适度及体验感会较好。
本发明实施例水平移动机构3包括第一电机31、第一齿轮32、水平导轨33,其中第一电机31的输出端与第一齿轮32传动连接,当然也可以直接让第一电机31的输出轴与第一齿轮32的轴心固定来驱动第一齿轮32转动,水平导轨33固定在头盔下壳12的内沿边且呈弧形状,水平导轨33上设有与第一齿轮32相啮合的齿型,头盔上壳11通过第一电机31和第一齿轮32在所述水平导轨33上水平移动,因头盔的边缘为圆形,所以该水平移动的轨迹为圆弧状。
作为另一种优选的方案,水平导轨33的两端设有限位块,头盔上壳11的底部固定有限位板,限位板的两侧与限位块的外形相匹配,当水平移动机构3在第一电机31的驱动下到达水平导轨33的端部时,被限位块所阻挡,从而停止运动。
具体的,水平移动机构的工作原理:第一电机31驱动第一齿轮32转动,通过水平导轨33带动头盔上壳11进行水平位置移动,头盔上壳11同时带动经颅磁拍头2做左右方向的移动,其移动的轨迹为圆弧状。
本发明实施例旋转机构5包括被动齿轮53、安装在滑座44上的第三电机51和第三齿轮 52,第三电机51穿过弧形导轨43与第三齿轮52传动连接,滑座44一侧底部与被动齿轮53的转动连接,可在被动齿轮53的轴心处固定一个转轴在滑座44,便于被动齿轮53的自由转动。被动齿轮53另一侧底部表面与经颅磁拍头2连接,被动齿轮53的齿面与第三齿轮52相啮合,滑座44通过被动齿轮53和第三齿轮52的啮合运动带动经颅磁拍头2转动。
具体的,旋转机构的工作原理:第二电机接通工作信号后作输出轴旋转运动,通过第二电机的输出轴连接的第二齿轮带动滑座底部的被动齿轮转动,由被动齿轮带动底部的经颅磁拍头一起转动,从而达到经颅磁拍头可以旋转的目的。
作为另一种优选的方案,在被动齿轮的底部设有减震弹簧,减震弹簧一侧与被动齿轮相抵靠,减震弹簧另一侧与经颅磁拍头相抵靠。通过该减震弹簧在佩戴头盔本体时,具有使经颅磁拍头更好的利用支撑力贴近人体头部的头顶,并在三种运动装置工作过程中减缓三种移动装置带动经颅磁拍头移动而造成的轻微震动力,提高用户用户的舒适度。
本发明实施例上下运动机构4包括滑座44,安装在滑座44上的第二电机41,以及所述第二电机41传动连接的第二齿轮42,所述滑座44通过第二齿轮42和弧形导轨43的啮合运动在所述弧形导轨43上前后移动。因头盔本体为曲面结构,所以该上下移动的轨迹为圆弧状。
上下运动装置的工作原理:第二电机41通过第二齿轮42在弧形导轨43沿着轨迹进行运动,从而带着滑座44底部的经颅磁拍头作上下方向的移动。
在本发明实施例采用三台电机,三台电机所采用的型号均为:A15-ST。其中,第一电机驱动头盔上壳沿头盔下壳水平运行,从而也带动经颅磁拍头在水平方向移动;第二电机驱动滑座沿弧形导轨作上下方向的运动,从而带动经颅磁拍头在前后方向移动;第三电机驱动滑座底部的经颅磁拍头作旋转运动。三台电机的输送位置应具有反馈功能,扭矩≥10Kg·cm,应支持半双工串口通信,可由单片机用串口指令控制旋转圈数、角度、旋转速度,并记录输送的位置信息。

悬臂支架62包括立柱、悬臂、限位吊块,立柱的顶部与悬臂的一端转动连接,悬臂的另一端通过内部套装的伸缩杆与限位吊块固定连接,吊绳或钢丝的顶部与限位吊块的底部固定连接,吊绳或钢丝的底部与吊臂支架固定连接。
经颅磁刺激定位头盔自身质量比较重,全部由人的头部来承受时会显得不舒服,因此给 本产品配备了减重支撑悬臂机构,从而达到减重的目的,让用户在配戴头盔时相对舒适。
在本实施例中,拍头转动模组连接用于经颅磁的治疗靶点自动定位系统。用户佩戴经颅磁磁刺激头盔,基于动作诱发电位的靶点定位方法,采集对侧靶肌的运动诱发电位,比较不同坐标经颅磁拍头诱发电位从而更新经颅磁拍头位置,直至寻找到初级运动皮层区域,根据靶点和初级运动皮层区域的相对位置关系,将经颅磁拍头定位到治疗靶点。
