Auxiliary judgment device for evaluating effectiveness of trans-cranial magnetic stimulation on melancholia patient

Abstract

The invention discloses an auxiliary judgment device for evaluating whether trans-cranial magnetic stimulation is effective for a melancholia patient. The auxiliary judgment device is provided with a feature extraction unit and a machine learning unit electrically connected with the feature extraction unit. In the interpretation mode, the feature extraction unit is used for acquiring at least one feature value of an electroencephalogram signal of a patient, and at least one classifier of the machine learning unit interprets whether the trans-cranial magnetic stimulation is effective for the patient according to the at least one feature value of the electroencephalogram signal, the electroencephalogram signal is an electroencephalogram signal after the patient is driven by a cognitive homework procedure or an electroencephalogram signal which is different from the electroencephalogram signal before and after the patient is driven by the cognitive homework procedure, and at least one characteristic value is a linear or non-linear characteristic value. According to the auxiliary judgment device, whether the trans-cranial magnetic stimulation is effective to the patient or not can be evaluated in advance, so that waste of medical resources and money caused by invalid treatment is avoided.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an auxiliary judging device for assisting doctors in assessing treatment methods for patients with depression, in particular to an auxiliary judging device for evaluating whether transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is effective for patients with depression and A parameter determination method for a transcranial magnetic stimulator. Background technique [0002] Depression may be caused by endocrine abnormalities, psychological stress, or psychological trauma caused by major events. With the fast pace of life and high work pressure, the proportion of depression patients is gradually increasing. Depression can cause inconvenience to patients in daily life, work, study and sleep, and even major depressive disorder (MDD) is a serious mental disorder for patients. In addition to disability caused by work, study and sleep, about 60% of suicides are caused by severe depression. [0003] For patients with depression, esp...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] Compared with drugs or psychological counseling, transcranial magnetic stimulation is a more expensive treatment, but the treatment period for improving the symptoms of depression patients (syndrome) is significantly shorter than that of drugs and psychological counseling

However, unfortunately, the treatment of transcranial magnetic stimulation is not effective for every patient with depression, so the use of transcranial magnetic stimulation in the treatment of depression is still not popular. Patients are also reluctant to try the treatment of transcranial magnetic stimulation
