Multi-functional transcranial magnetic stimulator

Abstract

The invention relates to a multi-functional transcranial magnetic stimulator. The multi-functional transcranial magnetic stimulator mainly comprises a high-voltage pulse power supply, a myoelectricity acquisition device and a temperature measurement device which are connected to a data acquisition card respectively, wherein the data acquisition card is connected to Labview control software of a microcomputer; and the high-voltage pulse power supply is connected with a stimulation coil. By the multi-functional transcranial magnetic stimulator, a high-voltage pulse generator is controlled to act on the coil through the labview software, so that various kinds of stimulation such as magnetic stimulation single pulse, repetitive pulse, random pulse and train pulse can be realized; the temperature measurement device is combined with the Labview software, so that the temperature of the coil can be acquired and alarm can be controlled; and the Labview software is combined with the myoelectricity acquisition device, so that myoelectricity signals can be acquired. In addition, the multi-functional transcranial magnetic stimulator also has multiple additional functions of database management, report printing, remote control, data communication and the like and can be widely used for diagnosis and treatment in psychiatry departments, neurology departments and laboratories.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a transcranial magnetic stimulation system, especially a transcranial magnetic stimulation system based only on a labview development platform. Background technique [0002] Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a cortical stimulation method first created by Barker et al. in 1985. It has the advantages of painless, non-invasive, easy to operate, safe and reliable, and has been clinically applied soon. The so-called "transcranial" means that the magnetic signal can pass through the skull without attenuation to stimulate the cerebral cortex. In practical applications, it is not limited to the stimulation of the brain. Peripheral nerves and muscles can also be stimulated, so it can be simply called "magnetic stimulation". . [0003] Magnetic stimulation is a form of physical stimulation. It uses time-varying current to flow into the coil to generate a high-intensity time-varying pulsed magnetic field. The time-varying pulsed...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0005] At present, some of the known transcranial magnetic stimulators do not have myoelectric collection devices and need to be used together with known electromyography devices. Some of them do not have temperature measuring devices and cannot promptly remind doctors of overheated coils. Many problems make the transcranial magnetic stimulators unable to Independent and safe treatment; in addition, the known transcranial magnetic stimulator, its control part is basically embedded, it is characterized in that it does not need to use a special computer, small in size, low in cost and high in performance, but its software development is difficult , the technical difficulty used is high, and the basic requirements for software and hardware of programmers are very high, which is not conducive to users to use according to customization
