Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of medical instruments, in particular to an integrated electrode sheet for tibial nerve stimulation. Background Art

[0002] Overactive bladder, also known as urinary urgency, is usually accompanied by increased daytime urinary frequency and nocturia, with or without urinary incontinence, without urinary tract infection or other clear pathological changes. In treatment, neuromodulation therapy is an effective solution that regulates dysfunctional bladder activity through electrical stimulation of specific nerves. In clinical applications, neuromodulation therapy shows roughly the same efficacy as drug therapy, but with milder adverse reactions. It can relieve symptoms such as frequent urination, urge incontinence, and urinary retention, and is a better treatment option.

[0003] Among them, tibial nerve stimulation is an effective method of neuroregulation. By placing two electrodes on the sole of the foot, electrical stimulation of the afferent fibers of the tibial nerve is transmitted to the L4-S3 nerve roots. The L4-S3 nerve roots are connected to the urethral sphincter and bladder, thereby controlling urinary function by inhibiting sensory input from the bladder.

[0004] Among them, surface muscle electrical signal EMG is an electrical signal generated along with electromyographic contraction. It is collected on the surface of the skin through electrodes. The electrodes are placed on the surface of human skin to record the weak potential difference on the skin surface caused by muscle contraction.

[0005] The current integrated electrode pads usually only have two positive and negative stimulation electrodes, which can only complete the neuromuscular stimulation function, and cannot cooperate with the stimulation generator to complete the electromyographic signal collection of the stimulation site. If a set of EMG electrodes is used alone, two sets of equipment are required or the stimulation generator needs an extra socket, which cannot be used by patients. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of the utility model is to propose an integrated electrode sheet for tibial nerve stimulation, in order to address the problem that the integrated electrode sheet can only complete neuromuscular stimulation but cannot collect electromyographic signals at the stimulated part. During the tibial nerve stimulation process, the integrated electrode sheet can cooperate with the treatment host to complete the treatment stimulation and electromyographic signal collection, and is convenient for patients to use by themselves.

[0007] An integrated electrode sheet for tibial nerve stimulation comprises a connector, a wire, a tibial nerve stimulation electrode sheet, and an EMG electrode sheet. The connector is connected to the tibial nerve stimulation electrode sheet and the EMG electrode sheet respectively through the wire. The tibial nerve stimulation electrode sheet is attached to the sole of a human foot, and the EMG electrode sheet is attached to the calf of a human body.

[0008] Furthermore, an integrated electrode sheet for tibial nerve stimulation includes a first tibial nerve stimulation electrode sheet and a second tibial nerve stimulation electrode sheet, and the EMG electrode sheet includes a first EMG electrode sheet and a second EMG electrode sheet, and the EMG electrode sheet may include a third EMG electrode sheet.

[0009] Furthermore, the integrated electrode sheet for tibial nerve stimulation has a square shape and the EMG electrode sheet has a circular shape.

[0010] Furthermore, in the integrated electrode sheet for tibial nerve stimulation, the first tibial nerve stimulation electrode sheet is attached to the forefoot area of ​​the human foot, and the second tibial nerve stimulation electrode sheet is attached to the heel area of ​​the human foot.

[0011] Furthermore, in the integrated electrode sheet for tibial nerve stimulation, when the EMG electrode sheet does not include the third EMG electrode sheet, the first EMG electrode sheet is attached to a position 5 cm above the human ankle, and the second EMG electrode sheet is attached to a position 5 cm above the first EMG electrode sheet.

[0012] Furthermore, in the integrated electrode sheet for tibial nerve stimulation, when the EMG electrode sheet includes a third EMG electrode sheet, the first EMG electrode sheet is attached to a position 5 cm above the human ankle, the second EMG electrode sheet is attached to a position 5 cm above the first EMG electrode sheet, and the third EMG electrode sheet is attached to a position 5 cm above the second EMG electrode sheet.

[0013] Furthermore, in the integrated electrode sheet for tibial nerve stimulation, the end of the connector that is not connected to the wire is connected to the treatment host.

[0014] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: since the tibial nerve stimulation electrode sheet and the EMG electrode sheet of the utility model are connected by wires and connectors, an integrated design of the electrical stimulation electrode sheet and the signal acquisition electrode sheet is realized, and the two electrode sheets are clearly identified by their shapes, ensuring the correct use of the electrode sheets. The integrated design of the device is more convenient to use and replace, reducing time and labor costs. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
