Abstract

The invention discloses an implantable spinal cord electric simulation system for treating obesity. The implantable spinal cord electrical simulation system for treating obesity includes an electrode implanted in a patient spinal cord epidural gap, a simulator for giving out an electric pulse and implanted in an abdomen or under haunch skin, and an extending wire for connecting the electrode and the simulator. The electrode is a bipolar electrode or a multi-polar electrode. The electrode implantable positions are fixed at T1/T2 and T5/T6. A heart rate is monitored in real time when the multi-polar electrode gives out the electric simulation. The current intensity is adjusted through the automatic feedback. Through the spinal cord electric simulation, the gastric emptying is delayed, thus the feeling of repletion is increased, and the intake is reduced. The sympathetic nerve activity is excited, and the basic metabolism and energy consumption are increased. The heart rate is monitored in real time. The electric simulation is adjusted timely through automatic feedback of the variation of the heart rate. The weights of fat patients are safely and effectively reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device for treating obesity, in particular to an implantable spinal cord electrical stimulation system for treating obesity and its application method. Background technique [0002] Obesity is one of the most common public health problems worldwide, and its incidence is increasing at an alarming rate, placing a huge burden on society and families. At present, morbidly obese patients are relatively rare in my country, and the incidence of overweight and obesity is lower than that in Western countries. However, due to the large population base in our country, the number of overweight and obesity is actually not optimistic, and its incidence is also increasing year by year. As the incidence rate increases, the cost of prevention and treatment also increases year by year. Unfortunately, current treatments for obesity are very limited. After reducing weight by adjusting lifestyle including exercise and diet, about 50% of patien...
