Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of biomedical engineering technology, and in particular to a flexible array-type external field programmable neurostimulation device, its preparation method and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Neuromodulation technology based on electrical nerve stimulation has shown broad application prospects in the treatment of nervous system diseases. Neurostimulation systems, which integrate implantable electrodes, power supplies, and controllers via interconnection, have been widely used in the treatment of various peripheral and central nervous system diseases, achieving breakthroughs particularly in visual restoration, limb motor function reconstruction, intervention for mental illnesses, and auditory reconstruction. For example, the system developed by Second Sight in the United States... Taking the high-density electrode array technology, exemplified by the II artificial retina system, as an example, this device, by integrating modules such as visual signal acquisition, wireless signal transmission, microcontroller chips, and arrayed electrodes, has successfully restored light perception in patients with advanced retinal degeneration, providing an innovative solution for blinding diseases that cannot be treated by traditional clinical methods. However, these traditional neurostimulation systems require multiple modules to work together and involve complex integration processes, resulting in high costs and limiting the large-scale clinical application of such devices.

[0003] In recent years, researchers have begun to explore novel neurostimulation systems based on functional materials that do not require complex system integration, converting external field energy into electricity to achieve passive, wireless neurostimulation. For example, Fabio Benfenati's research team at the Polytechnic University of Italy reported in *Nature Photonics* and *Nature Materials* in 2013 and 2017, respectively, a novel neurostimulation system based on organic photovoltaic semiconductor materials: an organic photovoltaic semiconductor film constructed using poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) and fullerene derivatives (PCBM) can convert ambient light into electrical signals, activating retinal ganglion cells and restoring light perception in mice with damaged photoreceptor cells. Furthermore, C@BTO particles, constructed by modifying the surface of piezoelectric barium titanate (BaTiO3) particles with a carbon layer, can achieve ultrasonic stimulation of dopaminergic neurons in the midbrain of zebrafish under ultrasonic drive; and a film prepared by mixing piezoelectric polymers poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene) (P(VDF-TrFE)) and azobenzene liquid crystal polymers can induce specific activation of retinal cells in vitro under 470nm light illumination.

[0004] However, these functional material-based neurostimulation systems are limited by the high modulus of the materials themselves, making interface adaptation with neural target tissues still difficult and greatly affecting the reliability of stimulation. At the same time, how to achieve high spatial resolution patterned stimulation to precisely modulate target nerves remains a challenge. Summary of the Invention
