Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical auxiliary equipment, in particular to an auxiliary chair for patients with acupuncture of the sphenopalatine ganglion. Background Art

[0002] The sphenopalatine ganglion (SPG) is located in the pterygopalatine cleft deep on both sides of the face, one on each side. It is mainly innervated by sensory nerves and also contains sympathetic and parasympathetic nerve fibers. Its postganglionic fibers are distributed in the superior, middle and inferior nasal conchae, nasal septum and nasopharyngeal roof.

[0003] Acupuncture of the sphenopalatine ganglion is based on modern medical neuroanatomy theory, combined with traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture techniques. It is primarily used to treat various types of rhinitis, as well as other ENT conditions such as tinnitus, deafness, and dry eyes. This technique involves physically stimulating the sphenopalatine ganglion with fine needles, primarily by regulating the balance of sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves rather than completely severing neural pathways, aiming to eliminate or reduce clinical symptoms.

[0004] The technique of needling the sphenopalatine ganglion differs from conventional acupuncture techniques. After inserting the needle into the cheek, it must be precisely positioned through a narrow, fixed bone gap and directly inserted into the sphenopalatine ganglion body, located approximately 55 mm deep in the skull within the pterygopalatine fossa. The patient must experience a numbing or electric shock sensation in the face for satisfactory therapeutic results. During acupuncture, the practitioner should sit slightly behind the patient on the side to be needled. The patient's head should be positioned slightly higher than or at the same height as the practitioner, tilted slightly to the opposite side, and tilted back slightly, while the head remains stationary to facilitate needle insertion. Due to individual patient variation and anatomical complexity, the sphenopalatine ganglion is generally located above and in front of the selected insertion point, necessitating precalculation of the needling direction for accurate insertion.

[0005] However, during the acupuncture of the sphenopalatine ganglion, since each patient has different tolerance levels and there are also extremely active children who come for treatment, it is very easy for the patient to shake his head due to pain or soreness, resulting in inaccurate or incomplete acupuncture, which in turn affects the treatment effect; in addition, during the acupuncture process, the patient's head needs to be slightly tilted to a certain angle, but there is currently a lack of matching chairs in the clinic, and there is no device that can simply support the patient's head when tilted to the side. Utility Model Content

[0006] The utility model provides an auxiliary seat for patients undergoing acupuncture of the sphenopalatine ganglion, so as to solve the technical problems that during the current acupuncture of the sphenopalatine ganglion, the patient's head is easily shaken due to pain or soreness, resulting in inaccurate or incomplete acupuncture, and the patient's head cannot be simply supported when the patient is in the side position.

[0007] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:
