Abstract

The invention discloses an acupuncture point electric stimulation method and device for improving facial muscle strength. The method adopts an output frequency of 1-50 Hz and a wave width of 50 μs; or a frequency of 51-80 Hz and a wave width of 100 μs; or a frequency of 51-80 Hz and a wave width of 100 μs; The frequency is 81-100Hz, the wave width is 200μs; the frequency is 101-120Hz, the wave width is 300μs pulse current, the pulse current lasts for 2 seconds, stops for 1.5 seconds, and continues to work intermittently, which can improve muscle tension and restore nerve function. effect. The apparatus for carrying out the method includes a pulse generator and electrodes. The invention can significantly improve the facial muscle strength of patients with peripheral facial paralysis, restore the damaged facial nerve function, facilitate early recovery, and provide intelligent operation for patients to use instruments by themselves.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to a device and a method for improving the facial muscle strength of the affected side of patients with peripheral facial paralysis, in particular to an acupoint electrical stimulation method and device for improving facial muscle strength. Background technique

[0002] Peripheral facial paralysis is a common disease characterized by motor dysfunction of facial expression muscles, with an incidence rate as high as 1-2%. It often manifests as decreased facial muscle strength and impaired nerve function. Most patients often find that one side of the cheek does not move well and the mouth is crooked when they wash their face and rinse their mouth in the morning. In patients with complete paralysis of facial expression muscles, forehead wrinkles disappear, palpebral fissures expand, nasolabial folds are flat, and mouth corners droop. When puffing the cheeks and whistling, air leakage occurs because the lips of the affected side can...

Embodiment Construction

[0016] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with accompanying drawing.

[0017] The invention provides an acupoint electrical stimulation device and an acupoint electrical stimulation method for non-therapeutic purposes, which combine modern electronic technology with acupuncture theory of traditional Chinese medicine in my country to assist in improving muscle strength and restoring nerve function. A large number of experiments have proved that the following combination of electrical stimulation frequency and wave width has a good effect on improving muscle strength and restoring nerve function: (1) The frequency is 1-50 Hz, and the wave width is 50 μs; (2) The frequency is 51-80 Hz, The wave width is 100μs; (3) The frequency is 81-100Hz, and the wave width is 200μs; (4) The frequency is 101-120Hz, and the wave width is 300μs. The magnitude of the current is 0.1-50mA, the magnitude of the voltage is 0.1-4V, the pulse current lasts for 2 seconds...
