Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ear acupoint treatment devices, in particular to an automatic positioning ear acupoint stimulation treatment device. Background Art

[0002] Auricular acupuncture diagnosis and treatment is a unique diagnostic and treatment method in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) with a long history. It is based on TCM theory and aims to regulate the functions of human internal organs and treat diseases by stimulating specific acupuncture points on the ear. However, traditional auricular acupuncture treatment usually requires manual positioning and stimulation of auricular acupuncture points, which relies heavily on the doctor's experience and feel. In addition, the auricles of different individuals are specific, making it difficult to achieve accurate and efficient positioning and treatment. The operation process is cumbersome and requires switching tools or adjusting positions. It is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also unable to adapt to the differences in ear morphology of different individuals. It also requires high medical expertise, and the positioning accuracy is low, resulting in unstable treatment effects. At the same time, in terms of stimulation therapy, existing stimulation methods mainly include electrical stimulation, magnetic stimulation, etc. The adjustment of these stimulation parameters is usually simple and fixed, making it difficult to achieve personalized precision treatment. In addition, due to the lack of real-time monitoring and feedback mechanism of the patient's feelings during the stimulation process, it may lead to excessive or insufficient stimulation, affecting the treatment effect and patient experience.
