Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, and in particular to a device for treating depression by combining light with transcranial magnetic stimulation. Background Art
[0002] Depression has become one of the leading mental illnesses in terms of global disease burden. According to 2023 data from the World Health Organization (WHO), the number of people suffering from depression worldwide has exceeded 380 million, with a trend toward younger age and more chronic illness. Traditional treatments primarily rely on medication, but these have significant limitations: approximately 30% of patients experience drug tolerance, treatment cycles are long, and the onset of effect is slow. Some medications can also cause side effects such as weight gain, drowsiness, and emotional numbness, resulting in patient compliance rates of less than 50%. Against this backdrop, non-invasive physical therapy techniques—transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and light therapy—are becoming hot topics in clinical research and application due to their safety and minimal side effects.
[0003] Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is based on the principle of electromagnetic induction. It uses a time-varying magnetic field to penetrate the skull, generating induced currents in specific areas of the cerebral cortex and modulating neuronal excitability. Clinical studies have confirmed that stimulating targets such as the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) and medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) can effectively improve patients' emotional regulation, cognitive function, and sleep quality.
[0004] Chinese patent publication number CN114939237A discloses a device for treating depression by combining light with transcranial magnetic stimulation, belonging to the field of medical devices. The present invention first discloses a device for treating depression by combining light with transcranial magnetic stimulation, comprising a body that can be worn on the human head, and a transcranial magnetic stimulation device disposed on the body in contact with the occipital lobe of the human head. The present invention also provides a device for treating depression by combining light with transcranial magnetic stimulation, which, based on the aforementioned device for treating depression by combining transcranial magnetic stimulation, also includes a light device. The device of the present invention has a significant alleviating effect on the treatment of depression.
[0005] However, there are some problems with devices such as the above-mentioned light combined with transcranial magnetic stimulation for depression treatment: 1. Insufficient positioning accuracy: Most devices rely on manual adjustment, which makes it difficult to accurately match individual skull differences with brain target areas, resulting in stimulation deviation and affecting therapeutic efficacy.
[0006] 2. Single function: The light and transcranial magnetic stimulation modules are separated, lacking a synergistic mechanism and unable to bring out the advantages of combined treatment; the light pattern is fixed, which can easily cause skin discomfort and nerve adaptability.
[0007] 3. Poor comfort: The contact pressure between the coil and the scalp cannot be adjusted, which can easily cause pain when worn for a long time and leads to low patient compliance; the electronic device is large in size and heavy in weight, making it difficult to carry.
[0008] 4. Cost and safety issues: Electronic drive systems are expensive and pose a risk of electromagnetic interference. Some devices lack overload protection, which may cause accidental harm to patients. Summary of the Invention
[0009] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a device for treating depression by combining light with transcranial magnetic stimulation, which overcomes the problem that the positioning accuracy of the devices for treating depression by combining light with transcranial magnetic stimulation in the prior art is insufficient. The devices mainly rely on manual adjustment, which makes it difficult to accurately match individual skull differences with brain area targets, resulting in stimulation deviation and affecting the efficacy. In addition, the devices have a single function and lack a synergistic mechanism between the light and transcranial magnetic stimulation modules.

During the winding process, the gear eight 751 is driven to rotate by the gear three 71, and then the gear nine 79 is driven to rotate. The gear nine 79 drives The moving gear five 91 rotates, thereby driving the sleeve 9 to rotate. During the rotation process, the sleeve 9 uses the threaded connection relationship with the screw rod 94 to make the screw rod 94 gradually extend out of the sleeve 9, thereby facilitating the transcranial magnetic stimulation coil module 3 to fit on the patient's scalp. After fitting, the reaction force of the scalp can push the bevel gear disk 93 into the idling area 92, and the screw rod 94 no longer continues to extend using the threaded connection relationship, thereby making the contact pressure between the transcranial magnetic stimulation coil module 3 and the scalp within a relatively comfortable range.

Gear 7 85 is provided below the ratchet 84. Gear 7 85 is meshed with gear 6 78. Coil spring 2 82, the inner end of coil spring 2 82 is connected to the first rotating rod 86, and the outer end of coil spring 2 82 is connected to the top of the adjusting base 5.
[0048] A U-shaped pawl 831 is provided at one end of the rocker arm 83, and a plurality of inverted hooks 841 are provided in an annular array on the outer side of the ratchet wheel 84. The U-shaped pawl 831 cooperates with the two inverted hooks 841 separated from each other. A setting pin 833 and a U-shaped movable groove 832 are provided at the other end of the rocker arm 83. The setting pin 833 cooperates with the groove 871 on the collar 87, and the U-shaped movable groove 832 cooperates with the blocking block 811 in the middle of the adjusting disk 81.
[0049] In the above embodiment, the speed regulating mechanism 8 adopts the existing clockwork mechanism to ensure the uniform release of the clockwork assembly, and drives the gear six 78 to rotate through the gear two 74, and then drives the gear seven 85 to rotate, and the gear seven 85 drives the ratchet two 84 to rotate, and then the ratchet two 84 can be used to cooperate with the U-shaped pawl 931 at the end of the pendulum 83, so that the ratchet two 84 can use the elastic force of the coil spring two 82 to drive the pendulum 83 to swing evenly and at a uniform speed, and finally transmit the uniform speed rotation to the lighting component 4 through the gear, so that the lighting component 4 can reciprocate at a uniform speed like the pendulum of a clock, effectively solving the problem of local skin discomfort caused by static lighting.
[0050] Specific implementation cases: When using the device for treating depression with light combined with transcranial magnetic stimulation, the following steps are included: 1. Wear The sterilized head fixing ring 1 is inserted into the insertion channels 112 at both ends of the front fixing ring 11 using the two ends of the rear fixing ring 12, and the airbag 111 is placed against the patient's forehead so that it gradually rises during the insertion process to play a protective role. After the front fixing ring 11 and the rear fixing ring 12 are completely fitted on the patient's head, they are tightened with the T-shaped knob 13 to fix the device on the patient's head.
[0051] 2. Position adjustment By pinching the pinching rods 52 on both sides of the adjustment base 5, the adjustment base can be moved on the head frame 2, so that the transcranial magnetic stimulation coil module 3 is moved to the desired position, and by pressing the pressing block 22, the press-type fixing part is disengaged from the T-shaped knob 13 to change its angle, so that the transcranial magnetic stimulation coil module 3 corresponds to the target position, so that subsequent treatment work can be carried out.
[0052] 3. Winding up the mainspring drive system By driving the rotating handle 73 to rotate in the rotating slot 61, the rotating column 77 is driven to rotate. The rotating column 77 will drive the coil spring 741 in the spring assembly to tighten, and synchronously drive the displacement assembly to move through the transmission mechanism. The displacement assembly is used to make the transcranial magnetic stimulation coil module 3 close to the patient's scalp. When the scalp applies a reverse force to the transcranial magnetic stimulation coil module 3, the displacement assembly will be unlocked, so that the contact pressure of the transcranial magnetic stimulation coil module 3 is in a safe and comfortable range to ensure the comfort of the patient.
[0053] 4. Loose spring drive system When the rotating handle 73 is released, the clockwork assembly will be released under the action of the restoring elastic force of the coil spring 1 741, and then the gear 2 74 will be driven to rotate by the coil spring 1 741. The gear 2 74 will drive the speed regulating mechanism 8 to adjust the speed through the gear 6 78, so that the gear 2 74 rotates at a uniform speed, and then the coil spring 1 741 is released at a uniform speed, and then the gear 3 71 is driven to rotate. Finally, the illumination assembly 4 is driven to reciprocate at a uniform speed through the sector gear 72, so as to improve the patient's comfort and the treatment effect in a dynamic illumination mode.
