Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical equipment, and in particular to a depression relief device based on rTMS. Background Art
[0002] Depression is a type of mood disorder characterized by significant and persistent low mood, slow thinking, cognitive impairment, decreased willpower and physical symptoms. Depression not only harms the patient's health and reduces the quality of life, but also places a great burden on the family and society. It has become a serious social and medical problem. RTMS is a stimulation mode in transcranial magnetic stimulation technology, namely repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation. Transcranial magnetic stimulation technology (Transcranial Magnetic StimulationTMS) is a painless, non-invasive and green treatment method. The magnetic signal can penetrate the skull without attenuation and stimulate the brain nerves. In actual application, it is not limited to the stimulation of the brain, and peripheral nerves and muscles can also be stimulated, so it is called "magnetic stimulation".
[0003] According to patent number CN211132729U, a utility model patent for a depression relief device based on rTMS, the cover body, the inside of the cover body defines a receiving cavity adapted to the shape of the human head, and the lower edge of the cover body extends to both sides to form a cover edge; the transcranial magnetic stimulation device, the transcranial magnetic stimulation device includes a first magnetic stimulation device and a second magnetic stimulation device, the first magnetic stimulation device and the second magnetic stimulation device are both embedded in the inner surface of the cover body and symmetrically arranged; the adjustment switch, the adjustment switch is electrically connected to the first magnetic stimulation device and the second magnetic stimulation device, respectively, and the adjustment switch is arranged on the cover edge. The transcranial magnetic stimulation device is arranged inside the device, and high-frequency, high-intensity rTMS can produce a sum of excitatory postsynaptic potentials, resulting in abnormal excitement of the nerves at the stimulation site, while low-frequency stimulation has the opposite effect, effectively relieving depression by bidirectionally adjusting the balance between the excitation and inhibition functions of the brain.
[0004] Although the above technical solution can complete the treatment of patients with depression, the mask of this technical solution cannot be flexibly adjusted according to patients with different head sizes, and the device has fewer cranial magnetic stimulation targets and fixed positions when treating patients, which will affect the treatment effect to a certain extent. Summary of the invention
[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a depression relief device based on rTMS, which can not only be flexibly adjusted according to the head size of different patients, but also can determine a more precise treatment area through different cranial magnetic stimulation targets during treatment, thereby improving the treatment effect on patients with depression.
[0006] The above technical objectives of the present invention are achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0017] The present invention is further configured as follows: fixing blocks for placing the air conduction loudspeaker are provided on both left and right sides of the upper end of the outer wall of the housing.
