Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to an implantable neurostimulation device and its control and positioning methods. Background Technology

[0002] Implantable neurostimulation devices, as a core component of advanced medical technology, show broad application prospects in the diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment of diseases. These devices bring hope to many patients with neurological disorders by precisely modulating neural activity. Their operation typically involves the coordinated action of the implanted component and the external control unit, with wireless transmission of energy and signals being crucial for their high-efficiency operation.

[0003] In existing technologies, ensuring that implanted devices receive stable and sufficient energy typically relies on precise positioning mechanisms. Specifically, to achieve better wireless energy transfer, current passive implantable neurostimulators generally employ magnetic interfaces for positioning. This mechanism aims to fix the application position of the external part and limit its distance from the implanted device, thereby optimizing the stability of energy transmission.

[0004] However, a deeper analysis of this approach reveals its inherent drawbacks. First, the introduction of the magnetic interface directly increases the structural complexity of the implanted component. To accommodate this interface, the implant's volume may need to increase, raising manufacturing costs and potentially impacting the physiological compatibility of the implantation site. Second, the magnetic positioning method demands a high level of skill from the patient. The patient needs to precisely fix the external unit in a specific position and maintain relative stillness, which is difficult to achieve consistently during daily activities, significantly limiting the device's flexibility and ease of use. Any deviation in relative orientation or distance will significantly reduce energy transmission efficiency, leading to insufficient power supply to the implant, thus affecting the stimulation effect and potentially introducing safety risks due to unstable power supply.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, in a first aspect, some embodiments of this application provide a method for locating an implantable neurostimulation device, the method comprising:

[0010] Compare the actual deviation of the test distance from the first preset distance with the preset deviation value;

[0011] The comparison results show the true distance between the stimulus energy emitter and the stimulus energy receiver.

[0012] In some embodiments of this application, determining the true distance between the stimulus energy emitter and the stimulus energy receiver based on comparison results includes:

[0013] When the actual deviation value is greater than the preset deviation value, the first preset distance is fitted with the test distance, and the second preset distance is calculated.

[0031] Thirdly, some embodiments of this application also provide an implantable neurostimulation device, which includes an energy transmitter, an energy receiver, a control module, and a wireless sensor. The energy transmitter emits electromagnetic energy. The energy receiver receives the electromagnetic energy emitted by the energy transmitter and couples it into stimulation energy. The control module is communicatively connected to both the energy transmitter and the energy receiver. The wireless sensor calculates the test distance between the stimulation energy transmitter and the stimulation energy receiver based on a preset coupling energy value and the actual coupling energy value, and compares the actual deviation of the test distance from a first preset distance with a preset deviation value. Based on the comparison result, the true distance between the stimulation energy transmitter and the stimulation energy receiver is determined. The wireless sensor is communicatively connected to the energy transmitter, the energy receiver, and the control module. The wireless sensor monitors the energy generated by the energy transmitter and the energy receiver and sends the energy value to the control module.

It then compares the calculated preset coupling energy value with the actual acquired coupling energy value to infer the test distance. Finally, it compares the actual deviation between the test distance and the first preset distance with a preset deviation value to accurately determine the true distance between the two. This positioning method, without increasing the size and complexity of the device inside the body, can locate and acquire the orientation and distance of the internal part relative to the external part. In other words, this application can simply and cost-effectively locate the orientation and distance inside and outside the body, and adjust the stimulation parameters of the wireless energy (including the output frequency, output amplitude, output timing, etc.) based on this location information to achieve optimal energy transmission efficiency and thus obtain better wireless energy transmission effects.

[0036] Furthermore, in practical applications, the system does not require patients to strictly maintain a fixed relative position or a static state between the external generator and the internal receiver. It can adapt to changes in position during daily activities, which greatly reduces the operational threshold and improves patients' long-term compliance. It provides a precise spatial reference for the stable operation of the wireless energy transmission system, effectively overcoming the risks of reduced energy transmission efficiency, insufficient power supply, or electromagnetic safety caused by human error interference in traditional positioning. Thus, while ensuring the safety of the device, it achieves efficient and reliable wireless energy transmission and better neurostimulation therapy effects.

Thus, while ensuring the safety of the device, it achieves efficient and reliable wireless energy transmission and better neurostimulation therapy effects.

[0063] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 Step S500 involves determining the true distance between the stimulus energy emitter and the stimulus energy receiver based on the comparison results, including steps S510 to S540.

The energy transmitter 1 emits electromagnetic energy. The energy receiver 2 receives the electromagnetic energy emitted by the energy transmitter 1 and couples it into stimulation energy. The control module 3 is communicatively connected to both the energy transmitter 1 and the energy receiver 2. The wireless sensor 4 calculates the test distance between the stimulation energy transmitter and the stimulation energy receiver 2 based on a preset coupling energy value and the actual coupling energy value, and compares the actual deviation of the test distance from a first preset distance with a preset deviation value to determine the true distance between the stimulation energy transmitter and the stimulation energy receiver 2. The wireless sensor 4 is communicatively connected to the energy transmitter 1, the energy receiver 2, and the control module 3. The wireless sensor 4 monitors the energy generated by the energy transmitter 1 and the energy receiver 2 and sends the energy value to the control module 3.

[0095] For example, the energy receiver 2 is implanted in the body of the target body to receive wireless energy and generate signals (i.e., sensing signals) that stimulate the patient to produce physiological activities.

[0096] For example, the wireless sensor 4 collects the sensing signal emitted by the energy receiver 2 as a reference signal for the energy transmitter 1, and adjusts the stimulation parameters of the wireless energy emitted by the energy transmitter 1 according to the reference signal.

[0097] For example, the energy transmitter 1 is worn outside the body of the target being tested. It generates a stimulation signal or turns off the stimulation signal based on the sensor signal as a reference signal and the preset parameter signal, and transmits wireless energy to the energy receiver 2 through wireless transmission.
