Magnetic stimulation physiotherapy device functioning through carotid sinus

Abstract

The present invention provides a magnetic stimulation physiotherapy device functioning through carotid sinus. The device comprises a pulse generator, a circulating water cooling box, a handle, magnetic stimulation coils, isolation pads, a cable, a U-shaped clamp and a water-cooled tube. The magnetic stimulation physiotherapy device functioning through carotid sinus can employ a principle of a carotid sinus being sensitive to physical stimulation to treat hypertension. Compared to a traditional carotid sinus electrical stimulation technology, the magnetic stimulation physiotherapy device functioning through carotid sinus can generate magnetic fields with high, middle and low frequencies through a time-varying current, the magnetic fields with high, middle and low frequencies penetrate tissue to be focused at the carotid sinus, and electromagnetic induction generates a treatment eddy current. The magnetic stimulation coils are not in direct contact with tissue, there are no potential risks caused by a similar electrical stimulation technology, and invasive surgery is not needed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of medical devices for treating hypertension, in particular to a magnetic stimulation physical therapy device through the carotid sinus. Background technique [0002] Hypertension is a common cardiovascular disease, 54% of strokes and 47% of ischemic heart disease are caused by elevated blood pressure. However, for more than 1 / 3 of hypertensive patients, the existing antihypertensive drugs have no obvious effect, so the development of new treatment techniques has important clinical significance. Under the intima of the carotid sinus wall, there are sensory nerve endings that are sensitive to mechanical stretch stimulation, called baroreceptors. Physical stimulation of the baroreceptors can alter the internal pressure of the carotid sinus, thereby regulating the cardiovascular system. Electrical stimulation of the carotid sinus is an effective method for the treatment of refractory hypertension, and it has ...

Problems solved by technology

However, this technique requires electrodes to be implanted in the neck and attached to the wall of the carotid sinus on one or both sides, while the electrical pulse generator and connecting leads also need to be implanted subcutaneously.

Although electrical stimulation of the carotid sinus can significantly lower blood pressure, the clinical application of this technology requires invasive surgery and various safety considerations, and the operation is difficult, costly, and the patient has to suffer a lot
