Transcutaneous electrical stimulation snore relieving device

Abstract

The invention discloses a transcutaneous electrical stimulation snore relieving device comprising a snore relieving band and a transcutaneous electrical stimulation host; the snore relieving band comprises an upper fixing portion for fixing heads and a lower fixing portion for fixing jaws; the lower fixing portion is provided with an electrode slice fixing portion; the electrode slice fixing portion is positioned in the middle of a lower mandibular angle and a jaw and above a throat; an electrode slice is fixed in the electrode slice fixing portion; the electrode slice is connected with an output terminal of a pulse generator of the transcutaneous electrical stimulation host through an electrode wire; each of the upper fixing portion and the lower fixing portion is provided with an electrode wire fixing portion for fixing the electrode wire so that the electrode wire extends along the back of the ear toward the top of the head. The transcutaneous electrical stimulation host also comprises an MCU, a regulating module and a power supply. The MCU is used for controlling the pulse generator to generate a corresponding pulse signal according to preset parameters. The beneficial effects of dual treatment of OSAHS can be obtained by the present invention by using the technical solution combining snore relieving band and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of electrotherapy equipment, in particular to a percutaneous electrical stimulation anti-snoring device. Background technique [0002] Obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) has the same incidence rate as obesity, diabetes, cerebrovascular disease and coronary heart disease, and it is even as high as 25% for men aged 30-70. More importantly, It is an important factor in the aggravation, refractory and death of these diseases. Meanwhile, OSAHS is a sleep-breathing disorder with potential sudden nocturnal death. Therefore, the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of this high-incidence and extremely harmful disease have become the focus of multidisciplinary research. At present, OSAHS treatment includes, non-surgical treatment: weight loss, correct sleep posture, lateral position as much as possible, prevent tongue from falling back, quit smoking and drinking, continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP); surg...

2. Short pulse - or shorter: the general pulse width is mostly between 9 and 350μs

4. The current form is not uniform. At present, the following waveforms are commonly used: (1) symmetrical bidirectional square wave; (2) medium or high frequency current modulated by unidirectional square wave; (3) symmetrical bidirectional pulse; (4) ) one-way square wave; (5) another asymmetric two-way pulse

However, because the electrodes are mostly glue, they are easy to fall off, and there are disadvantages such as strong discomfort for the patient.
