A non-invasive transcutaneous electrical stimulator

Abstract

The invention discloses a noninvasive percutaneous frequency-conversion electrical-stimulation breathing therapeutic apparatus with multiple functions. The percutaneous frequency-conversion electrical-stimulation breathing therapeutic apparatus with the multiple functions comprises a real-time monitoring module for monitoring breathing condition, an electrical-stimulation signal-producing module, and a non-implantable percutaneous electrode. The real-time monitoring module is used for monitoring the breathing condition of a monitored person in real time when the monitored person is in a sleep condition and obtaining sleep parameters. The electrical-stimulation signal-producing module is used for providing more than two electrical-stimulation modes. The non-implantable percutaneous electrode is used for conducting chronic frequency-conversion electrical-stimulation signals to diaphragm muscle or genioglossus of the monitored person or conducting acute frequency-conversion electrical-stimulation signals to the diaphragm muscle or the genioglossus of the monitored person. The percutaneous frequency-conversion electrical-stimulation breathing therapeutic apparatus with the multiple functions combines an acute diaphragm muscle pace-making function, a chronic frequency-conversion diaphragm muscle electrical-stimulation function, an acute genioglossus pace-making function, a chronic frequency-conversion genioglossus electrical-stimulation function, and the like as a whole. The percutaneous frequency-conversion electrical-stimulation breathing therapeutic apparatus with the multiple functions has double functions of treating and preventing.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the treatment of diaphragmatic fatigue and obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) caused by chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, COPD) and the like, and in particular to a non-invasive percutaneous electrical Stimulator. Background technique [0002] Both COPD and OSAHS are clinically common and frequently-occurring diseases, and both involve certain skeletal muscles related to breathing. Respiratory muscle exercise for COPD patients can improve their nocturnal oxygenation, relieve dyspnea and improve respiratory muscle function, while improving their mobility and quality of life. External diaphragm pacing (External Ddiaphragm Pacemaker, EDP) is a more effective respiratory muscle exercise. At present, EDP treatment uses continuous 2.5Hz or 10Hz electrical stimulation combined with physiological frequency (40Hz) chronic electrical stimulation, which can well prevent ...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides a non-invasive transcutaneous electrical stimulation instrument, which can give the monitored object a chronic variable frequency electrical stimulation signal or an acute electrical stimulation signal by providing a chronic variable frequency electrical stimulation mode and an acute electrical stimulation mode. Simultaneously give the monitored object chronic variable-frequency electrical stimulation signals and acute electrical stimulation signals, that is, the therapeutic device can not only give suitable chronic variable-frequency electrical stimulation or acute electrical stimulation to the diaphragm of the monitored object with COPD, but also give patients with OSAHS Appropriate chronic variable-frequency electrical stimulation or acute electrical stimulation of the genioglossus muscle of the monitored subject, which combines the functions of diaphragm fatigue and OSAHS electrical stimulation treatment, and solves the problem of single function of existing electrical stimulation treatment equipment
