Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of pain technology, and more particularly to a pain management system. Background Art

[0002] Common types of pain include acute pain (such as postoperative pain) and chronic pain (such as arthritis). Treatment methods mainly include drug therapy (such as analgesics, opioids, etc.) and non-drug therapy (such as acupuncture, physical therapy). Pain management refers to the use of drugs, physical or psychological methods to reduce or eliminate the patient's pain, thereby improving the patient's quality of life and helping the patient to resume normal function.

[0003] Today's pain management mostly involves patients obtaining pain ratings in advance through forms, and doctors then adapt different treatment plans based on the patients' pain ratings for treatment suppression. For example, opioids are used to suppress higher pain ratings, while mild to moderate patients are more likely to be observed or given aspirin, ibuprofen, etc. for pain suppression. However, due to the different tolerance levels of different patients to pain, this type of approach still has the defect of poor adaptability. Today's clinical testing of pain tolerance is mostly done with large-scale brain-computer devices, resulting in extremely poor adaptability for patients with medium and low pain levels, and therefore needs to be improved. Summary of the invention

[0017] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments, wherein the same components are represented by the same reference numerals.

[0018] Reference Figure 1-7 A pain management system includes: a pain detection device for releasing a stimulation current to a patient to cause the patient to feel pain, thereby forming pain tolerance physiological data. In this embodiment, the pain tolerance physiological data is the patient's subjective feedback on pain tolerance to obtain the patient's pain tolerance threshold.

[0019] Specifically, the pain detection device includes a first electrode sheet 1 and multiple second electrode sheets 2. The first electrode sheet 1 is attached to the human body. The first electrode sheet 1 forms a closed loop with different current sizes with the multiple second electrode sheets 2 through the human body, so that the stimulation current can pass through the human body, causing the human body to feel pain, and then realize the detection of the patient's pain tolerance. The maximum current passing through the human body is 2mA to ensure the safety of the overall test.

[0020] During operation, the patient attaches the first electrode sheet 1 to the human body and forms a closed loop by contacting the second electrode sheet 2, and then completes electrical stimulation by passing current through the human body, and then stimulates the nerves by current to produce pain, thereby completing the pain tolerance test. During the detection process, when the patient's pain tolerance reaches a critical point, the contact with the second electrode sheet 2 can be directly released to disconnect the closed loop, thereby achieving rapid disconnection to avoid additional pain. In this way, the patient's psychological pressure during the test can be greatly reduced, and the safety of the overall test can also be guaranteed.

[0021] Preferably, a cloud platform is also included, which includes a server, a patient side and a doctor side. The server is used to store the doctor side and patient side data to facilitate subsequent retrieval and query, wherein the patient side and doctor side are specifically interactive interfaces displayed on the terminal.

[0022] Specifically, the patient end includes a self-examination module, which includes several self-examination units. The self-examination units are used for the patient to input pain information including at least pain location, pain time and pain intensity, and to grade the pain based on preset scoring rules. The self-examination unit preferably includes an NRS digital pain assessment form.

[0023] By using the self-examination module to self-examine the patient's pain, the patient's specific pain rating can be obtained, and the specific data of the patient's current pain can be obtained to facilitate further diagnosis by the doctor.

[0024] Specifically, the self-examination module includes the nature of pain, appetite quality, sleep status, and whether there has been nausea or vomiting in the past 24 hours. Patients can choose the appropriate option for adaptation according to their own situation.

[0025] Specifically, the doctor outputs treatment recommendations to the patient based on the pain level and pain tolerance physiological data. Since the doctor can obtain the patient's pain tolerance physiological data and specific pain information, he can give the patient more personalized treatment advice based on the above two pieces of information, so that individual patients can obtain better treatment results.

[0026] Preferably, the self-examination unit further comprises a human body zoning map, which is used to display at least the front and back views of the human body, and the human body zoning map comprises a plurality of coding areas for the patient to mark the pain location.

[0027] Specifically, the human body zone map is divided according to the IASP body zone map, and in an additional embodiment, a view including the side of the human body can also be added to further expand the annotation range.

[0028] Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the human body partition diagram is displayed in a two-dimensional graphic form. In another embodiment, a three-dimensional form may be used to display the interactive interface.

[0029] Preferably, the human body partition map includes bone, muscle and nerve layers, and the coding areas corresponding to different layers correspond to each other, so that the patient can switch the corresponding layers and select the position according to the specific location of his or her pain, so as to further expand the range of pain selection and avoid the defect of position deviation in a single two-dimensional image.

[0030] Preferably, the pain detection device includes a main body 3, in which a circuit board is provided, and a plurality of second electrode sheets 2 are arranged along the length direction of the surface of the main body 3.

[0031] Furthermore, the main body 3 is provided with a timing module 4 corresponding to the second electrode sheet 2 one by one. The timing module 4 is used to record the duration of each second electrode sheet 2 forming a closed loop with the human body. Through the setting of the timing module 4, the operator can realize automatic timing after contacting the second electrode sheet 2. At the same time, the setting of multiple timing modules 4 also makes it convenient for the operator to collect and organize the data after detecting the second electrode sheet 2 one by one.

[0032] Preferably, the pain detection device includes a silicone finger cuff 5, which has a certain elasticity so as to fully adhere to the patient's finger. A wire is provided on the main body and connected to the first electrode sheet 1 through the wire, and the first electrode sheet 1 is powered by the wire.

[0033] Preferably, a magnetic member 10 is disposed on the first electrode sheet 1 , and the magnetic member 10 and the conductive member 6 are magnetically attracted and conductive to each other.

[0034] By setting the magnetic attraction part, when the patient contacts the second electrode sheet 2 and causes sudden unacceptable stimulation, the excessive struggle caused by the excessive struggle can separate the first electrode sheet 1 and the finger sleeve 5, avoiding the wire connection being broken due to excessive struggle caused by the length limitation of the wire.

[0035] Preferably, a heating module 8 corresponding to each of the second electrode sheets 2 is provided in the main body 3 , and the heating module 8 is used to heat the second electrode sheets 2 to reach a predetermined temperature.

[0036] The heating module 8 is preferably a heating sheet and is connected to a circuit board. The heating module 8 can be controlled by the circuit board to heat the second electrode sheet 2 to ensure a predetermined stable temperature of the second electrode sheet 2. At this time, the patient can directly contact the second electrode sheet 2 to detect temperature pain tolerance. This method is suitable for early screening of diabetic neuropathy.

[0037] Preferably, a control module corresponding to the second electrode sheet 2 is provided in the main body 3, and the control module is used to control the magnitude of the current in the closed loop formed by the second electrode sheet 2 and the human body.

[0038] Specifically, the patient can adjust the current of a single second electrode sheet 2 according to the adjustment module to facilitate more precise tolerance detection.

[0039] Preferably, a detection electrode sheet 11 is provided on the main body 3, and the detection electrode sheet 11 forms a detection circuit with the first electrode sheet 1 through the human body. An indicator light 9 is provided on the main body 3, and the indicator light 9 is used to light up when the detection circuit / closed circuit is formed.
