Breathing center vibration stimulation device and control method thereof

Abstract

The invention discloses a breathing center vibration stimulation device and a control method thereof, and relates to the technical field of medical devices. The breathing center vibration stimulationdevice includes a seat and a controller. The seat includes a seat surface for sitting posture, and the seat is internally provided with a vibration device; the vibration device is electrically connected with the controller to drive the straight-line reciprocating vibration of the seat surface according to a control signal of the controller, the vibration direction is perpendicular to the seat surface, and the frequency of the vibration is between 30 Hz and 45 Hz. The vibration stimulation method includes the steps: controlling the starting of the vibration device, and driving the seat surfaceto vibrate at the preset vibration frequency by the vibration device, wherein the preset vibration frequency is between 30 Hz and 45 Hz; and controlling the vibration device to stop when the preset working time is reached. The breathing center vibration stimulation device and the control method thereof can provide regular frequency vibration, improve the respiratory function of users, and play roles in improving and treating obstructive sleep apnea.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, in particular to a breathing center vibration stimulation device and a control method thereof. Background technique [0002] Obstructive sleep apnea (English name: obstructive sleep apnea, OSA) can be defined as a temporary cessation of breathing (usually 10-30 seconds) due to airway obstruction during sleep. OSA also has negative effects on the brain, such as marked reductions in white and gray matter, with accompanying impairments in cognition, mood, and daytime alertness. [0003] In the prior art, there are two ways of treating OSA: invasive treatment and non-invasive treatment. Invasive treatments such as vetopalatopharyngoplasty and oral appliances are ineffective in some patients and cause physical trauma to the patient. In non-invasive treatment, continuous positive airway pressure (English name: nasal-continuous positive airwaypressure, CPAP) is the most commonly used and most ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, it is inconvenient to use due to many equipment tubes, noisy sound, uncomfortable masks, etc., and it follows the method of CPAP use (at least 4 hours per night, at least 5 days out of 7 days per week), and the continuous use rate of CAPA is still very low ( 17%-54%), which is not conducive to the promotion and use of CPCA therapy and equipment
