Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of using current pulse energy to stimulate nerves or tissues to treat related diseases, in particular to an in-ear non-invasive ear vagus nerve stimulator. The device and method of the present invention can be used to stimulate the ear branch of the vagus nerve in patients to treat various diseases, such as: headache, depression, anxiety, epilepsy, obesity, diabetes, Alzheimer's disease and the like. Background technique
[0002] Electrical stimulation has been used to treat diseases for more than 2,000 years, but it was the first clinical application of a cardiac pacemaker in the 1950s that was actually used for clinical treatment. Modern electrophysiological studies have shown that electrical stimulation of nerves will directly or indirectly depolarize the nerve membrane, causing the discharge of action potentials, or hyperpolarize the nerve membrane to prevent the release of action potentials. This nerve electrica...
