Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of dysphagia treatment, and in particular to a dysphagia acupuncture treatment device. Background Art

[0002] Swallowing disorders refer to difficulties or discomfort during swallowing, which may affect the normal transmission of food and liquid from the mouth to the stomach. The swallowing process involves complex neuromuscular coordination, including oral preparation, oral stage, pharyngeal stage and esophageal stage.

[0003] Acupuncture therapy, especially Chinese medicine acupuncture, is a traditional treatment method that has a certain application basis in improving dysphagia. Although modern medicine mainly relies on physical therapy, speech therapy and drug therapy, acupuncture therapy is also believed to be able to assist in promoting the recovery of swallowing function. Acupuncture therapy can activate the nervous system and regulate the function of the cerebral cortex by stimulating specific acupoints, thereby improving the nerve conduction pathways related to swallowing. For dysphagia caused by neurological diseases, acupuncture therapy can help restore the function of damaged nerves and enhance muscle strength and coordination.

[0004] Patent publication number CN118490522A discloses an acupuncture rehabilitation training device suitable for patients with dysphagia, including a fixed ring, a hollow tube fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the fixed ring, a number of air bags plugged into and installed on the inner wall of the hollow tube, and an inflation tube plugged into and installed on the outer side of the hollow tube, the outer end of the inflation tube passes through the fixed ring and is equipped with an inflation nozzle, two connecting rods are provided on the rear side of the fixed ring, and a connecting mechanism is provided between the two connecting rods and the outer wall of the fixed ring.

[0005] The above patent can sterilize acupuncture needles by placing them on the top surfaces of multiple support rods and driving a sterilization lamp. The acupuncture needles can be taken out and used directly. During treatment, the operation is generally performed manually by the physician. Acupuncture treatment depends on the physician's experience and technical level. Due to differences in acupoint selection and techniques (such as needle insertion angle and acupoint positioning) among different physicians, it is difficult to maintain consistent needle insertion angles, resulting in uneven treatment effects. In particular, for the operation of the Tiantu acupoint, the needle is required to penetrate deep into the throat along the sternal manubrium to generate appropriate tension. If the operation is improper, it may not only cause discomfort to the patient, but may also cause tissue damage. Summary of the Invention
