no. 1 example

[0031] see figure 1 , the first embodiment of the present invention is: a method for treating dysphagia, comprising the steps of,

[0032] S10, inserting the catheter electrode into the pharyngeal cavity of the patient after being sterilized;

[0033] Firstly, the catheter (Nu-Tek) needs to be disinfected three times sequentially with a disinfectant wipe (Tristel Trio). After disinfection, to avoid the irritating smell of the disinfectant, it needs to be wiped again with sterile water for injection; after cleaning the nasal cavity of the patient with a wet cotton swab, Use a catheter from the nasal cavity to place the tube in the same way as a nasogastric feeding tube. The first intubation can be used to visually locate the pharyngeal electrode through laryngoscope swallowing function evaluation (FEES). A single electrode ring in the double electrode ring is placed at the ostium of the pyriform sinus under the laryngoscope The effect of pharyngeal myoelectric signal is the b...

Abstract

The invention provides a method for treating dysphagia. The method comprises the following steps: inserting a catheter electrode into a pharyngeal cavity of a patient after disinfecting the catheter electrode; applying an electrical stimulation waveform causing swallowing reflex of a patient in the pharyngeal cavity of the patient through a catheter electrode, and forming the positive half cycle of the electrical stimulation waveform by combining square waves and triangular waves; and gradually enhancing the electrical stimulation intensity until the tolerance threshold value of the patient is triggered, and then repeatedly carrying out the next round of electrical stimulation on the pharyngeal cavity of the patient. The method has the beneficial effects that the current/voltage intensity required by using the electrical stimulation waveform is smaller, and the electrical stimulation waveform has enough pulse width duration time, so that the intensity for exciting nerves and muscles is smaller, and the application safety is more reliable.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of medical equipment application, in particular to a method for treating dysphagia. Background technique [0002] Neurogenic dysphagia is a common complication of neurological disorders for which treatment options are limited. Therefore, it is urgent to translate the basic research of neurostimulation into clinical application. [0003] Electrical stimulation technology is one of the commonly used treatment methods for dysphagia, and its safety and effectiveness have been recognized by doctors and patients. Commonly used electrical stimulation methods for dysphagia include neuromuscular electrical stimulation therapy, induction electrical therapy, and centrally acting transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), but none of these electrical stimulation methods can directly act on the pharyngeal mucosa, muscles, and peripheral nerves. Therapeutic effects are limited. [0004] Some researchers have tried...
