Device for treating tic disorder placed in oral cavity

Abstract

The invention relates to the field of medical instruments, and provides a device for treating tic disorder placed in an oral cavity, which comprises two U-shaped fixing parts which sleeve the teeth and / or the gum at the two sides of the upper jaw or lower jaw, wherein the opposite sides of the two fixing parts are connected with a connecting part; the shape of the connecting part is matched with the shape of part of the inner wall of the oral cavity between the two fixing parts; and one side of the connecting part, facing a tongue, is provided with a plurality of contacts. By using the contacts, pressure sense can be formed on the surface of the tongue, and when the oral cavity is still, the formed stimulation continuously regulates the muscle tension degree innervated by the brain; when the oral cavity moves, the stimulation signal intensity formed by the contacts is increased, and the regulation of the degree of muscle tension of the brain is increased so as to reduce the occurrenceof transient, rapid and repeated muscle tic; through the bite force of the upper jaw and lower jaw and the movement muscle, tendon and mucosa of oral bone, the brain center is excited, the output of nerve information is actively fed back and adjusted, and the movement tension and the contraction frequency of the muscle group of the tic disorder are adjusted.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of medical devices, in particular to a device for treating tic disorders placed inside the oral cavity. Background technique [0002] Tic disorder (TD) is a group of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders with onset in childhood and adolescence. Clinically, it can be divided into 3 types: transient tic disorder (also known as tic disorder), chronic motor or vocal tic disorder, Tourette syndrome (Tourette Syndrome, TS, tic-Tourette syndrome), that is, vocal and multiple motor combined tic disorder , among which TS is the most typical. Mainly manifested as involuntary, repeated, rapid one or more muscle motor twitches and / or vocal twitches (including dry coughing, throat clearing, nasal sniffing, etc.), which may be accompanied by inattention and hyperactivity , compulsive actions or thoughts, and other behavioral symptoms. The main manifestations are involuntary, purposeless, repetitive, and rapid contraction ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0009] 2. As one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders, the existing non-drug effects are very, very limited

[0019] Deep brain stimulation is an invasive technique with high costs and uncertain efficacy, which is often difficult for children and their families to accept

[0020] The stimulation site, stimulation frequency, stimulation intensity, and stimulation course of transcranial magnetic stimulation for TS are not yet clear, and children need to come to a medical institution for treatment. Children and families accept
