Technical Field
[0001] This document relates to the field of medical device technology, and more particularly to an implantable closed-loop stimulation method and apparatus. Background Art
[0002] At present, implantable medical devices have been widely used in clinical medicine to help patients diagnose and treat their conditions. Among them, the implantable electrical stimulation system mainly includes an implantable electrical pulse generator implanted in the body, a stimulation electrode, and an external controller. The electrical stimulation pulses generated by the implantable electrical pulse generator are transmitted to the stimulation electrode, which then electrically stimulates specific neural targets, thereby diagnosing and treating Parkinson's disease, epilepsy and other diseases.
[0003] However, if any abnormal EEG signal is detected with indiscriminate electrical stimulation intervention, it is very easy to cause damage to the functional area of the patient's lesion due to overstimulation. Therefore, it is urgent to find a new diagnostic and treatment stimulation scheme to improve the above defects. Summary of the invention
[0004] The purpose of one or more embodiments of this specification is to provide an implantable closed-loop stimulation method and device to break abnormal EEG loops through randomly generated stimulation signals, reduce excessive stimulation of abnormal EEG, and ensure that implantable diagnosis and treatment plans are safer and more reliable.
[0005] To solve the above technical problems, one or more embodiments of this specification are implemented as follows:
[0006] In the first aspect, an implantable closed-loop stimulation method is proposed, comprising:
[0007] Determine the target frequency of this diagnosis and treatment, wherein the target frequency is a bioelectric signal frequency reference that can trigger a stimulation signal;
[0008] Determine whether the frequency of the collected bioelectric signal reaches the target frequency and whether the energy of the bioelectric signal exceeds a threshold;
[0009] If the judgment result is yes, a stimulation signal is randomly generated, and a random stimulation sequence is formed based on the target frequency and the preset stimulation ratio, wherein the preset stimulation ratio is the ratio of the stimulation period to the non-stimulation period;
[0010] A stimulation intervention is performed on the target site based on the stimulation sequence.

[0023] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in this specification, the technical solutions in one or more embodiments of this specification will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in one or more embodiments of this specification. Obviously, the one or more embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this specification, not all of the embodiments. Based on one or more embodiments in this specification, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of this document.
[0024] Embodiment 1
[0025] Reference Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the steps of an implantable closed-loop stimulation method provided in an embodiment of the present specification. The implantable closed-loop stimulation method is applicable to an implantable closed-loop system comprising at least an implantable device and an external device. The method may include the following steps:
[0026] Step 102: Determine the target frequency of this diagnosis and treatment, wherein the target frequency is a bioelectric signal frequency reference that can trigger a stimulation signal.
[0027] It should be understood that in the embodiments of this specification, in order to accurately and reasonably trigger stimulation, it is necessary to determine the reference value used in the diagnosis and treatment process before diagnosis and treatment, that is, the target frequency. The target frequency can be determined by the doctor user based on empirical data, or it can be obtained by learning historical data through a specific algorithm, and the embodiments of this specification are not limited to this.
[0028] Step 104: Determine whether the frequency of the collected bioelectric signal reaches the target frequency, and whether the energy of the bioelectric signal exceeds a threshold.
[0029] In fact, when judging whether the abnormality of the collected bioelectric signal reaches the condition that can trigger stimulation, it is necessary not only to pay attention to the frequency of the current bioelectric signal, but also to pay attention to whether the energy of the current bioelectric signal exceeds the standard. In this way, the accuracy of triggering stimulation can be further improved. The setting of the threshold is similar to the setting of the target frequency, and can refer to the above step 102.
[0030] Step 106: If the judgment result is yes, a stimulation signal is randomly generated, and a random stimulation sequence is formed based on the target frequency and the preset stimulation ratio, wherein the preset stimulation ratio is the ratio of the stimulation period to the non-stimulation period.
[0031] Only when the frequency of the current bioelectric signal reaches the target frequency and the energy exceeds the threshold, can the random stimulation be triggered. Otherwise, it is regarded as a normal signal and no intervention is performed.
[0032] It should be understood that the stimulation signal described in this specification carries contact information and waveform information; therefore, when randomly generating the stimulation signal, step 106 is specifically performed as follows: based on a preset contact set and a preset waveform parameter set, a random number generator is used to randomly generate the stimulation signal.
[0033] The preset contact set is determined in the following manner:
[0034] It is determined whether the contacts included in the stimulation electrodes in the current implantable device are tolerable to the biological body; if so, all the tolerable contacts are grouped into a preset contact set; otherwise, no processing is performed.
[0035] Considering that the implantable device may have one or more stimulation electrodes, and each stimulation electrode may include one or more contacts, each contact corresponds to a different position of the lesion site of the organism (i.e., the patient). When a stimulation signal is applied to all contacts on all stimulation electrodes, some parts may not need to be stimulated, but this indifferent stimulation will affect the functional areas around the lesion, for example, causing side effects or complications. Therefore, it is necessary to select the contacts that the patient tolerates from the contacts of these stimulation electrodes and organize them into a preset contact set. It should be understood that the number and degree of stimulation that the contacts in this preset contact set can withstand are higher than those of intolerant contacts, thereby reducing the harm caused by excessive stimulation.
[0036] The preset waveform parameter set is determined in the following manner:
[0037] Determine whether the stimulation waveform corresponding to the waveform parameters that can be used by the stimulation electrode in the current implantable device is tolerable to the biological body; if it is tolerable, the waveform parameters corresponding to the tolerable stimulation waveform are aggregated into a preset waveform parameter set; otherwise, no processing is performed.
[0038] The waveform parameters may include information such as amplitude, frequency, pulse width, duration, etc. When judging whether the stimulation waveform corresponding to the waveform parameters that can be used by the stimulation electrode in the current implantable device is tolerable to the organism, the following aspects may be referred to:
[0039] the range of stimulation parameters that the implantable device can withstand;
[0040] The range of stimulation parameters routinely used in clinical medicine;
[0041] Empirical data from physician groups;
[0042] Historical stimulus data;
[0043] Factory-set parameter values for implantable devices.
[0044] Generally, the above five aspects are comprehensively considered, and after weighing and comparing, a set of waveform parameters corresponding to the stimulation signal tolerated by the patient is determined. It should be understood that these sets contain different value ranges of different waveform parameters.
[0045] After the preset contact point set and preset waveform parameter set that the patient can tolerate are determined, they can be sent to a random number generator to generate a random stimulation signal. In fact, the contact points and waveform parameters are randomly combined together, and then a random stimulation signal is generated according to the randomly combined parameters.
[0046] When forming a random stimulation sequence based on the target frequency and the preset stimulation ratio, step 106 can be specifically performed as follows: determining the duration of this random stimulation sequence based on the target frequency; forming a random stimulation sequence according to the preset stimulation ratio within the duration. After determining that the frequency of the collected bioelectric signal reaches the target frequency, the target frequency can be used to determine the duration of this random stimulation sequence. That is, the reciprocal of the target frequency is the duration. At the same time, the ratio of the stimulation signal in the entire random stimulation sequence is determined according to the threshold stimulation ratio, and then the determined stimulation signal is combined with a blank stimulation (which can be no stimulation or a signal that does not cause stimulation) to obtain a random stimulation sequence.
[0047] Step 108: Perform stimulation intervention on the target site based on the stimulation sequence.
[0048] Specifically, when a stimulation signal in the random stimulation sequence arrives, stimulation intervention is performed on the target part corresponding to the contact point selected when the stimulation signal is randomly generated.
[0049] Through the above technical solution, the target frequency of this diagnosis and treatment is determined, wherein the target frequency is a bioelectric signal frequency reference that can trigger a stimulation signal; it is determined whether the frequency of the collected bioelectric signal reaches the target frequency, and whether the energy of the bioelectric signal exceeds the threshold; if the judgment result is yes, a stimulation signal is randomly generated, and a random stimulation sequence is formed based on the target frequency and the preset stimulation ratio, wherein the preset stimulation ratio is the ratio of the stimulation period to the non-stimulation period; stimulation intervention is performed on the target site based on the stimulation sequence. In this way, when it is detected that the bioelectric signal reaches the preset random stimulation condition, the patient-tolerant contacts and stimulation waveforms can be flexibly used to randomly generate stimulation signals. The stimulation signal is randomly generated, and the stimulation site and signal are tolerated by the patient, which significantly reduces the adverse effects on the patient due to excessive stimulation and improves the diagnosis and treatment effect.
[0050] Taking EEG signals as an example, the embodiments of this specification are described in detail through a specific flowchart.
[0051] Reference Figure 2 The figure is a flow chart of the implantable closed-loop stimulation method provided in the embodiment of this specification.
[0052] First, the target EEG frequency f can be set, and when the collected EEG signal frequency is greater than or equal to the target EEG frequency f, it is further determined whether the EEG signal energy exceeds the threshold, and if so, a random stimulation sequence is generated, otherwise, no processing is performed.
[0053] In fact, before this, the contact set C = {C1_1, ..., Cn_m} can be predetermined, where Cn_m represents the mth contact on the nth electrode. The patient's tolerable contacts are determined, and the tolerable contacts are selected to be included in the contact set C, while the intolerant contacts are rejected.
[0054] Similarly, the stimulation waveform P={P1, ...Pn} is predetermined, where Pn represents the stimulation parameters tolerated by the patient. The stimulation parameters tolerated by the patient are determined, and the tolerated stimulation parameters are selected and included in the parameter group W. The stimulation parameters that are not tolerated are rejected.
[0055] Afterwards, the contacts in the contact group C and the stimulation parameters in the parameter group W are sent to a random number generator to generate a random stimulation signal S. The random stimulation signal S includes not only a stimulation waveform but also corresponding contact information.
[0056] Finally, in combination with the preset stimulation ratio K, the random stimulation signal S is used to generate a random stimulation sequence Seq=f(f,K), and random stimulation intervention is performed on the contact corresponding to the random stimulation signal S.
[0057] The duration of the random stimulation signal and the total number of random stimulation signals in the random stimulation sequence are determined by the target frequency f.
