Embodiment Construction

[0042] figure 1 A schematic diagram of an apparatus 100 for conditioned desynchronized non-invasive stimulation is shown in . The device 100 consists of a control unit 10 , a first stimulation unit 11 and a second stimulation unit 12 . The first stimulation unit 11 generates a first stimulus 21 and the second stimulation unit 12 generates a second stimulus 22 . Both the first stimulation unit 11 and the second stimulation unit 12 are non-invasive units, that is to say they remain outside the patient's body during operation of the device 100 and are not surgically implanted in the patient's body. The first and second stimuli 21, 22 may be selected from the group consisting of light stimuli, sound stimuli, tactile stimuli, vibration stimuli and thermal stimuli, respectively. The patient can consciously perceive the first and / or second stimulus 21 , 22 . The control unit 10 serves to control the two stimulation units 11 and 12 via control signals 23 and 24 .

Abstract

The invention relates to a device (100) with a non-invasive first stimulation unit (11) for generating first stimuli (21) which, when administered to a patient, suppress a pathologically synchronous activity of neurons in the brain and / or spinal cord of the patient, with a non-invasive second stimulation unit (12) for generating optical and / or acoustic and / or tactile and / or vibratory and / or thermal second stimuli (22), and with a control unit (10) for controlling the first and second stimulation units (11, 12), wherein the generation of the first and second stimuli (21, 22) takes place optionally in a first or a second operating mode, and the control unit (10) controls the first and second stimulation units (11, 12) in such a way that, in the first operating mode, the generation of at least 60% of the second stimuli (22) is coupled in time to the generation of the first stimuli (21) and, in the second operating mode, the generation of at least 60% of the second stimuli (22) takes place without the generation of the first stimuli (21).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a device and method for conditional desynchronized non-invasive stimulation. Background technique [0002] Patients with neurological or psychiatric disorders (such as Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, dystonia, or obsessive-compulsive disorder) have neuronal cell populations that are pathological (such as oversync) active. In this case, a large number of nerves form synchronous action potentials, which means that the nerves involved excite excessively in synchrony. In contrast, in healthy people, the nerves in this area of ​​the brain are excited in other ways, for example in an unrelated way. [0003] In Parkinson's disease, the excitation of pathologically synchronized activity alters the excitation of neural activity in other areas of the brain, such as areas of the cerebral cortex such as the primary motor cortex. The pathologically synchronized excitation of the thalamus and basal nerves thereby imposes a ...
