Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical supplies, in particular to a device for correcting tongue prolapse. Background Art

[0002] The tongue muscles of the human body are involved in a variety of physiological functions such as breathing, speech, and swallowing. The normal performance of these functions depends on good tongue muscle contraction, changes in muscle compliance, and coordinated control between tongue muscles. After a stroke, the brain nerve tissue is ischemic or hypoxic, and the tongue muscle morphology is abnormal or neurogenic dysfunction occurs, causing nuclear or subnuclear damage to the glossopharyngeal, vagus, and hypoglossal nerves, which reduces the coordination of the tongue-face-related muscles, weakens the muscles around the tongue, and reduces the voluntary movement of the tongue, causing the tongue to fall backward. The backward fall of the tongue and contact with the posterior pharyngeal wall to block the airway is the main cause of posterior lingual airway stenosis, which makes it extremely easy for patients to choke, aspirate, and cough repeatedly during eating and drinking. When the patient is in a supine position, the backward falling tongue will block the airway, affecting the normal exchange of respiratory gas, making the patient's mouth unable to close, and causing ventilation disorders. At the same time, when there is saliva or sputum in the patient's laryngopharynx, it cannot be discharged in time. With the patient's swallowing action, it enters the human airway, causing the patient to have a lung infection. In severe cases, it can cause suffocation and endanger the patient's life.

[0003] At present, electrical stimulation of the hypoglossal nerve trunk and its branches, selective hypoglossal nerve implantable pulse generators and myopacing have been used clinically. However, whether the stimulated nerves and their branches are correctly identified, whether the appropriate stimulation scheme and the optimal electrode design position are adopted may affect the treatment effect, and the duration and degree of functional improvement need to be further evaluated. There are many nerve branches supplying muscles in different areas of the tongue, and tongue-related surgeries are complex and risky, with low clinical selectivity. The training of patients with post-stroke dysphagia should reconstruct the voluntary movement of the tongue and oral muscles, improve the strength of the tongue muscles and perioral muscles, and improve swallowing function. Tongue muscle training includes stimulation training, direction training and resistance training. Through the above training, neuronal paralysis is relieved, the muscle function of the tongue muscles related to swallowing is improved, and the symptoms of tongue prolapse are improved. Therefore, we proposed a device to correct tongue prolapse. Utility Model Content
