Ear vagus nerve stimulation system

Abstract

An ear vagus nerve stimulation system relates to the technical field of nerve stimulation therapy, and comprises a stimulator host, a stimulation unit, a fixing clamp and a wireless intelligent interaction terminal, the stimulator host is used for being hung on an auricle of an ear; a power supply management module, a stimulation signal module, a digital signal processing module, a Bluetooth signal transmission module and a storage module are arranged in the stimulator host, the stimulation unit is clamped on the ear through a fixing clamp and is flexibly connected with the stimulator host, and the stimulation unit comprises a stimulation electrode and a heart rate measuring part; and the stimulation electrode and the heart rate measuring part are arranged on the fixing clamp. According tothe system, the stimulator host adopts an auricle wearing mode, the wearing comfort is improved, the stimulation unit can perform stimulation and ear vagus nerve stimulation and heart rate information wireless transmission on different stimulation parts to the wireless intelligent interaction terminal, the stimulation effect and heart rate analysis can be checked in real time at the wireless intelligent interaction terminal, the treatment purpose is achieved, and the interaction experience feeling of a user is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of nerve stimulation therapy, in particular to an ear vagus nerve stimulation system. Background technique [0002] Cardiovascular disease is a disease that seriously endangers human life. Vascular disease and autonomic dysfunction complement each other. Researchers use a variety of neurological interventions to treat heart failure, arrhythmia and high blood pressure. These interventions include stimulating the vagus nerve, spine stimulus etc. The application of vagus nerve stimulation in the field of cardiovascular research has also become a hot spot in recent years. At present, some studies have been applied clinically, mainly including heart failure, arrhythmia and myocardial ischemia. Most of the stimulation methods are invasive stimulation, which is clinically practical. lower. In recent years, researchers have discovered that percutaneous low-intensity electrical stimulation of the ear branch of the ...

Problems solved by technology

However, the invention has no data storage function, nor does it have a heart rate variability analysis function

[0005] To sum up, most of the current nerve stimulator products or technologies that are worn on the ear are single-setting stimulators. After setting the parameters, specific parts are stimulated, but the actual stimulation during the stimulation process cannot be seen exactly. Effect

In addition, the existing stimulator does not record the ECG information or PPG signal during the whole process of stimulation, so as to temporarily save the data when the stimulation parameter information and heart rate information cannot be transmitted to the host computer in real time

[0006] In addition, the stimulation part of the current ear stimulator is mostly the auricle, and the stimulation unit is mostly worn as earplugs. Since everyone’s ear structure is different, the stimulation unit cannot be completely fitted after wearing it, which may cause wear. Uncomfortable or poorly stimulating

In addition, the stimulation unit and the host are mostly separate structures. The stimulation unit is worn on the auricle, and the host is placed in other positions. The stimulation unit is connected to the host through wires. The connection stability between the two is poor. Disconnected from the host, resulting in the interruption of stimulation activities and affecting the stimulation effect
