Problems solved by technology

[0009] So far, continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the most effective treatment method for OSA, but the following reasons limit the application of CPAP: CPAP cannot treat OSA fundamentally or from the pathogenesis, which is the most important shortcoming; The second is the fear of patients, the high price of the machine, and the non-reimbursement of home machine medical insurance, which limits the application of the home machine. In particular, patients with indications in primary hospitals often refuse to buy ventilators due to economic reasons, resulting in the lack of proper treatment for the disease. Delayed illness

Embodiment 1

[0030] High-frequency current was used to stimulate the habenula, and a square wave with a current intensity of 50uA, a frequency of 130Hz, and a wave width of 0.3ms was set for 30 minutes.

Embodiment 2

[0032] High-frequency current was used to stimulate the habenula, and a square wave with a current intensity of 50uA, a frequency of 280Hz, and a wave width of 0.3ms was set for 30 minutes.

Embodiment 3

[0034] Use high-frequency current to stimulate the habenula, set the current intensity to 100uA, the frequency to 280Hz, and the square wave width to 0.3ms for 30 minutes.

Abstract

The invention discloses an application of high-frequency current for treating the OSA. The application of the high-frequency current for treating the OSA is characterized in that the high-frequency current is adopted for stimulating a lateral habenular nucleus for treating the OSA. The parameter of the high-frequency current ranges from 50 uA to 150 uA, the frequency ranges from 50 Hz to 280 Hz, and wave width is a 0.3 ms square wave; the lasting time of lateral habenular nucleus stimulation is 30 min. The application of the high-frequency current for treating the OSA has the advantages that more 5-HT is released by a raphe nucleus, genioglossus contraction and pharyngeal cavity enlargement are facilitated, the purpose of treating OSA is achieved, OSA is eliminated fundamentally, and the troubles of wearing a breathing machine and conducting an operation are avoided.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical fields of respiratory department, neurosurgery and neuroelectrophysiology, and relates to the application of high-frequency current in treating obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. Background technique [0002] Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (Obstructivesleep apneasyndrome, OSA) incidence of hypertension, myocardial infarction, arrhythmia, cerebrovascular accident rate was significantly higher than the non-OSA population. Taking arrhythmia as an example, the incidence of atrial fibrillation in patients with severe OSA is 5%, and the incidence of atrial fibrillation increases by 4 times in patients with apnea-hypopnea index over 30. In addition, chronic intermittent tissue hypoxia in children with OSA can cause insulin resistance in patients, induce obesity and abnormal glucose metabolism in children, affect children's intellectual development and advance the onset age of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases....
