Vagus nerve stimulation device for weight loss

Abstract

The invention discloses a vagus nerve stimulation device for weight loss, comprising: a controller, a stimulation signal generator and two electrode fixing devices, each of which is provided with a positive electrode and a negative electrode, each The electrode fixing devices are all connected to the stimulation signal generator; wherein, the electrode fixing devices are provided with earplugs and hooks, the earplugs correspond to contact with the concha cavity of a person, and the hooks correspond to contact with the concha of a person boat, the positive electrode and the negative electrode are distributed on the earplug and the hook. The vagus nerve stimulation device for weight loss of the present invention can treat obesity and other diseases through the ear branch of the vagus nerve, without the need for patients to take medicine, without the need for implantation surgery, without the need for transcranial stimulation, low cost, and will not give patients Bring adverse reactions and side effects.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of medical and health care devices, in particular to a vagus nerve stimulation device for weight loss. Background technique [0002] The vagus nerve is the tenth pair of cranial nerves. It is the longest and most widely distributed pair of cranial nerves. It contains four fiber components: somatosensory fibers, visceral sensory fibers, somatic motor fibers and visceral motor fibers, which innervate the respiratory system and digestive system. Most of the organs and the heart's sensation, movement, and glandular secretions. Studies have found that obesity symptoms are closely related to the vagus nerve. For these symptoms, the traditional treatment method is drug treatment, but long-term use of drugs will bring inevitable side effects. The auricle is rich in nerve distribution, and the auricular branch of the vagus nerve is the only peripheral pathway that can reach the cerebral cortex, and it is also inseparably conn...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, the existing electrical stimulation schemes for obesity require minimally invasive surgery to place the stimulator in the gastrointestinal tract or spinal cord. The operation risk is high, the device is damaged and difficult to replace, and the price is expensive. Drug treatment is slow to take effect and has side effects. Direct current stimulation and repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation have many adverse reactions and are not easily accepted by patients
