Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a medical device, in particular to a transcranial magnetic stimulation device. Background Art
[0002] Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive neuromodulation technology with minimal side effects that plays a significant role in cognitive neuroscience and clinical neurological function regulation. Transcranial physical therapy includes transcranial electrical stimulation, transcranial ultrasound stimulation, and transcranial laser stimulation, all of which have been clinically proven to be effective transcranial treatments. After decades of development and application, transcranial therapeutic devices have achieved good therapeutic effects in many areas of neuromodulation and are supported by a large amount of literature. Furthermore, during clinical use, they have been widely recognized by doctors in relevant departments.
[0003] Treatment helmets are often used in transcranial treatment equipment. The doctor determines the lesion target through CT and other methods, and then designs a treatment plan to determine the position of the transcranial treatment head on the surface of the head during treatment. A treatment helmet that matches the patient is made, and the treatment head is fixed to the treatment helmet through a positioning and fixing mechanism according to the above-determined position. During each treatment, the doctor uses the positioning structure on the treatment helmet to accurately wear the treatment helmet on the patient's head. In the prior art, this positioning structure is often a protruding structure provided at the front end of the helmet body. The positioning structure has a positioning indicator end. When the patient wears the treatment helmet, as long as the positioning indicator end is aligned with the patient's designated part (the center of the eyebrows or the nose-frontal angle), it can ensure that the treatment head fixed on the helmet body is in the accurate predetermined treatment position.
[0004] However, in practice, we found that because the helmet is a three-dimensional object, even if we use 3D printing technology to closely match the patient's head shape, we cannot avoid the problem of inaccurate positioning caused by wearing deviations in other dimensions in the case of single-point positioning, which affects the precise positioning of the treatment head and ultimately affects the treatment effect. Utility Model Content
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a transcranial treatment helmet with better positioning performance, which can achieve a more accurate and stable positioning effect through a three-dimensional positioning system, thereby greatly improving the transcranial treatment effect.
[0006] In order to solve this technical problem, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is as follows:
[0007] A new type of transcranial treatment helmet includes a helmet body, a treatment head fixing structure is arranged at a predetermined position of the helmet body, a front end positioning structure is arranged at the front end of the helmet body, the front end positioning structure has a front end positioning indicator end, when the patient wears the helmet body accurately, the front end positioning indicator end is aligned with a first designated position at the front end of the patient's head, the helmet body is respectively provided with a side end positioning structure at the position of both ears, the side end positioning structure has a side end positioning indicator end, when the patient wears the helmet body accurately, the side end positioning indicator ends on both sides are aligned with second designated positions on both sides of the patient's head.
[0008] Furthermore, the first designated location is the center of the patient's eyebrows or the nasofrontal angle, and the second designated location is the center of the patient's ear canal.
[0009] Furthermore, side circular holes are respectively opened at positions matching the ears on both sides of the helmet body, and the side end positioning structure is arranged at the front end edge of the side circular hole and extends horizontally backward.
[0010] Furthermore, the rear lower portion of the helmet body matches the occipital area of the patient's head, and an adjustable pillow support mechanism is provided at the rear lower portion of the helmet body;
[0011] The adjustable pillow support mechanism includes a pillow support, at least one pillow support screw and at least one guide rod;
[0012] A pillow support screw hole and a guide hole are matched and arranged on the rear lower part of the helmet body;
[0013] The inner side of the pillow support can fit accordingly with the patient's head, and the outer side is fixedly provided with the guide rod, and the guide rod is matched and inserted into the guide hole, so that the pillow support can slide stably inward and outward; the position of the pillow support screw hole matches the pillow support, and the pillow support screw is matched and screwed with the pillow support screw hole. When wearing, when the pillow support screw passes through the pillow support screw hole and is screwed inward, it can push the pillow support to move inward, and finally the pillow support can fit the back of the patient's head.
[0014] Furthermore, the adjustable pillow support mechanism includes a pillow support screw, and the position of the pillow support screw hole matches the middle position of the pillow support.
[0015] Furthermore, two guide rods are provided, which are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the pillow support.
[0016] Furthermore, a pillow support groove is provided on the inner side of the rear lower part of the helmet body, and the pillow support can be matched and embedded therein. When the pillow support is embedded in the pillow support groove, the inner surface of the pillow support does not affect the wearing of the helmet.
[0017] Furthermore, when the pillow support is embedded in the pillow support groove, the inner surface of the pillow support is flush with the inner wall of the helmet body.
[0018] Furthermore, a rotating handle is provided at the outer end of the pillow support screw.
[0019] This new treatment helmet utilizes three-point positioning during wear: the nose and ears. This perfectly addresses the issue of precise positioning. Existing treatment helmets only have a front-end positioning mechanism. This can lead to misalignment of the front-end positioning mechanism and the helmet tilting during wear due to mismatching or improper force. This can affect the precise positioning of the treatment head and the effectiveness of treatment. Similar issues can arise during treatment, as various movements of the patient, the doctor, or others can cause the helmet to tilt.
[0020] However, if the therapeutic helmet of the present invention is used, the helmet can be perfectly and accurately positioned by referring to the three-point stereoscopic positioning of the front end and the side end when worn. Even if the helmet is deflected due to the patient or their movements during treatment, it can be immediately judged by the alignment of the indicator ends of the three positioning structures. If there is any deviation, it can be corrected and adjusted immediately.
[0021] After the treatment helmet is precisely positioned, the physiological curvature of the head and neck often makes it difficult for the treatment helmet to fit the back of the head. As a result, during the continuous treatment process, the helmet is prone to loosening and deflection due to the poor fit of the back of the head, making it uncomfortable to wear and requiring frequent helmet adjustments. As a preferred embodiment of the treatment helmet of the present invention, an adjustable pillow support mechanism including a pillow support, a guide rod, and a pillow support screw is provided at the rear lower portion of the helmet body. In this way, after the treatment helmet is accurately worn according to the three positioning structures, the pillow support can be pressed against the back of the patient's head by adjusting the pillow support screw. At this time, the treatment helmet can be in a very stable state and is not prone to deflection, thereby improving wearing comfort and stability. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0037] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:
[0038] Figure 1 、 Figure 2 A new type of transcranial treatment helmet is shown, including a helmet body 1, a treatment head fixing structure is arranged at a predetermined position of the helmet body, a front end positioning structure 2 is arranged at the front end of the helmet body, the front end positioning structure 2 is a protruding structure, and the front end positioning structure 2 has a front end positioning indicator end 201. When the patient wears the helmet body 1 accurately, the front end positioning indicator end 201 is aligned with a first designated part of the front end of the patient's head. The first designated part is the patient's eyebrow center or nose-frontal angle, or it can also be other clear designated parts of the front end of the patient's head that are convenient for helmet positioning and alignment.
[0039] The helmet body 1 is provided with a side end positioning structure 3 at the position of the ears on both sides. The side end positioning structure 3 is a protruding structure. The side end positioning structure 3 has a side end positioning indicator end 301. When the patient wears the helmet body 1 accurately, the side end positioning indicator ends 301 on both sides are aligned with the second designated parts on both sides of the patient's head. The second designated part is the center of the patient's ear hole. The second designated part can also be other clear designated parts on the side end (ear) of the patient's head that are convenient for helmet positioning and alignment. Specifically, side circular holes 4 are respectively opened at positions matching the ears on both sides of the helmet body 1. The side end positioning structure 3 is arranged at the front edge of the side circular hole 4 and extends horizontally backward.
[0040] Furthermore, in order to make the wearing state of the treatment helmet more stable, the rear lower part of the helmet body 1 matches the occipital part of the patient's head, and an adjustable pillow support mechanism is provided at the rear lower part of the helmet body 1, such as Figure 3-Figure 6 shown.
[0041] The rear lower portion of the helmet body 1 matches the back of the patient's head, and an adjustable pillow support mechanism is provided at the rear lower portion of the helmet body 1.
[0042] The adjustable pillow support mechanism includes a pillow support 5, a pillow support screw 6, and two guide rods 7. The two guide rods 7 are symmetrically positioned on the left and right sides of the pillow support 5. Of course, depending on the design or requirements, a larger number of guide rods 7 may be provided. Alternatively, a single guide rod 4 may be provided, positioned in the middle, with two pillow support screws 3 symmetrically positioned on either side. This is sufficient as long as the pillow support 5 can be driven by the pillow support screw 6 to slide smoothly and stably inward and outward.
[0043] A pillow support screw hole 101 and a guide hole 102 are matched and provided at the rear lower part of the helmet body 1 .
[0044] The inner side of the pillow support 5 can fit accordingly with the patient's head, and the outer side is fixedly provided with the guide rod 7, and the guide rod 7 is matched and inserted into the guide hole 102, so that the pillow support 5 can slide stably inward and outward; the position of the pillow support screw hole 101 matches the middle position of the pillow support 5 (due to different designs or requirements, multiple pillow support screws can also be provided, and the pillow support 2 is pushed inward by screwing the screws at multiple points. At this time, the positions of several pillow support screw holes 101 match the pillow support 5 and are symmetrically distributed), the pillow support screw 6 is screwed with the pillow support screw hole 101, and the outer end of the pillow support screw 6 is provided with a rotating handle 601 to facilitate the screwing operation when pressing the pillow support 5.
[0045] When worn, when the pillow support screw 6 passes through the pillow support screw hole 101 and is screwed inward, it can push the pillow support 5 to move inward, ultimately allowing the pillow support 5 to fit the patient's back of the head, allowing the treatment helmet to better fit the patient's head and thereby achieve better stability.
[0046] If the pillow support 5 used is of a certain thickness, a pillow support groove 103 needs to be provided on the inner side of the lower rear portion of the helmet body 1, into which the pillow support 5 can be matched and embedded. When the pillow support 5 is embedded in the pillow support groove 103, the inner surface of the pillow support 5 is flush with the inner wall of the helmet body 1, so that the wearing of the helmet body 1 is not affected at all. Of course, under the premise of not affecting the normal wearing of the helmet, when the pillow support 5 is embedded in the pillow support groove 103, the inner surface of the pillow support 5 can also slightly protrude from the inner wall of the helmet body 1.
[0047] When wearing it, first use the front-end positioning structure and the two side-end positioning structures to accurately position the transcranial treatment helmet; then screw the pillow support screw so that the pillow support is evenly pressed against the back of the patient's head, so that the treatment helmet can be stably and comfortably maintained in the correct position during treatment and even during movement.
[0048] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any modifications or substitutions that can be easily conceived by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be based on the scope of protection of the claims.
