Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, in the method described in Patent Document 1, since electrical stimulation is directly applied to the vagus nerve, surgery such as embedding electrodes near the vagus nerve is required.
Moreover, the treatment device described in Patent Document 2 is a device that applies pressure to the neck, which is very dangerous.

Embodiment 1

[0045] For a subject (female in her 40s) who has symptoms of a cold and head pain, use this thermal stimulation device to generate steam at a body temperature of 130-140°C (subject temperature 40°C) , while performing dozens of pressures on the shoulders and back with a pressure of about 5kPa to 15kPa, thermal stimulation treatment was performed.

[0046] After applying the treatment, the symptoms of the cold and the pain in the head disappeared. Furthermore, before and after the treatment, the size of the thigh -0.9cm, the calf -0.5cm, and the ankle -1.2cm decreased.

Embodiment 2

[0048] For a subject (men in their 60s) who has symptoms of low back pain, back pain, and sore shoulders, use this thermal stimulation device while keeping the temperature of the main body at 130-140°C (the temperature of the subject being treated is 40°C) Steam was generated, and the shoulders, back, waist, and buttocks were pressed 30 times each with a pressure of about 5kPa to 15kPa, and a thermal stimulation treatment was performed.

[0049]After the treatment, the low back pain and back pain disappeared. Furthermore, before and after the treatment, the forward and backward bends changed, and the flexibility of the body improved. The results are shown in Table 1.

[0050] 【Table 1】

[0051] (Table 1)

[0052] bend forward back bend Before treatment +5.5cm 129cm on the floor After the first treatment +1.5cm 122cm on the floor After the second treatment -4.3cm 117cm on the floor Variation -9.8cm -12cm

Embodiment 3

[0054] For a subject (in his 60s, male) who was injured by a fall, use this thermal stimulation device to generate steam at a temperature of 130-140°C for the main body (the temperature of the subject is 40°C) and apply it to the shoulders. Dozens of compressions were performed on the back and back with a pressure of about 5kPa to 15kPa, and two heat stimulation treatments were performed.

[0055] Before and after the treatment, there were changes in forward and backward bending, and the flexibility of the body improved. The results are shown in Table 2.

[0056] 【Table 2】

[0057] (Table 2)

[0058] bend forward back bend Before treatment +5.0cm 120cm on the floor After the first treatment +0.3cm 115cm on the floor After the second treatment -1.2cm 113cm on the floor Variation -6.2cm -7cm

Abstract

Provided is an instrument for applying heat stimulus to a target site in a human body in a convenient and efficient manner without causing trauma in a subject. A heat stimulation instrument includes a handle and a body unit, and the body unit includes an electric heater. The handle includes a vapor switch for controlling discharge of vapor, the body unit further includes a vaporizing chamber and a vapor chamber in fluid communication with the vaporizing chamber, the vapor chamber is provided with a steam expelling port passing through a bottom surface of the body unit, and the vapor switch controls such that steam passes through the vapor chamber and is discharged from the steam expelling port, the steam being formed from liquid introduced into the vaporizing chamber by being heated by the electric heater.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device for implementing thermal stimulation to a human body, in particular to an appliance for implementing thermal stimulation to a vagus nerve. Background technique [0002] In response to the discomfort of the human body, various methods are used, and external stimuli are applied to corresponding parts such as affected parts to activate and improve them. [0003] For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a technique of applying electrical stimulation to the vagus nerve in the treatment of circulatory diseases such as acute myocardial infarction. In addition, Patent Document 2 discloses a spot autonomic nervous system therapy device that adjusts the activity of the sympathetic nervous system or the vagus nervous system to improve the patient's autonomic nervous activity to an optimal state or to improve the treatment of abnormal autonomic nervous system. A pressure loading mechanism is installed on the neck of the patient, ...
