Deep brain epileptic discharge induction treatment method and equipment

Abstract

The invention discloses an induction therapy method for epileptic discharge in deep brain of an epileptic and a device thereof, which is of a new medical concept and a new medical device. The therapy method and the device of the invention are used for curing an epileptogenic focus in the deep brain area of the epileptic, particularly for the intractable epileptic by using medicines. The device of the invention comprises a needle-shaped electrode in the brain, a guide wire with an insulating layer, a protection sheath for silica gel guide wires and an electrode plate under the scalp. The method and the device of the invention are characterized in that the induction method is adopted to induce the hypersynchrony discharge of the epileptic under the skin outside the skull, an electrode made by the material with high electrical conductivity is embedded to epileptic discharge parts in the brain and connected to the electrode plate outside the skull by the guide wire that is made by the material with high electrical conductivity and is provided with the outer insulating layer, the electric potential difference between the high voltage in the explosive discharge of the epilepsy and the low voltage outside the skull is utilized to induce the explosive discharge current to the exterior of the brain, thereby avoiding the clinic epileptic seizure formed by the discharge induction of the epilepsy and realizing the aim of curing the epilepsy.

Description

1. Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a new medical concept and medical equipment, which is a treatment method and preparation for patients with epilepsy foci in the deep brain region, especially for patients with drug-refractory epilepsy. 2. Background technology [0002] Currently, epilepsy is a chronic encephalopathy, which is formed due to the supersynchronous discharge of some neurons in the brain. It is a common and frequently-occurring disease clinically, with an incidence rate of about 0.9%. At present, the commonly used methods are drug therapy, surgical treatment, radiation therapy and electrical stimulation therapy. Blocking the supersynchronous discharge of neurons, that is to say, is a treatment method based on the fundamental concept of inhibition, but 50% of epilepsy patients are still poorly treated with drugs or cannot tolerate the side effects of drugs, and the effect of radiation therapy is extremely poor, which has already Rarely used, the c...

Problems solved by technology

It is a common and frequently-occurring disease clinically, with an incidence rate of about 0.9%. At present, the commonly used methods are drug therapy, surgical treatment, radiation therapy and electrical stimulation therapy. Blocking the supersynchronous discharge of neurons, that is to say, is a treatment method based on the fundamental concept of inhibition, but 50% of epilepsy patients are still poorly treated with drugs or cannot tolerate the side effects of drugs, and the effect of radiation therapy is extremely poor, which has already Rarely used, the cost of surgical treatment is high, the risk is high, and there are long-term complications, and 40% of them still have poor curative effect, the cost of electrical stimulation is high, and the curative effect is poor

Therefore, at present, nearly 30% of epilepsy has not been effectively treated, resulting in chronic neurological impairment and mental disorders, and the threat of consciousness injury and death
