Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of acupuncture auxiliary device technology, and in particular to an acupuncture auxiliary device. Background Technology
[0002] In clinical trials of acupuncture, double-blind trials require a very high degree of scientific rigor. Subjects are randomly assigned to either a control group or an experimental group. The same acupoints are selected in both groups, but the subjects in the control group receive placebo treatment, while the subjects in the experimental group receive acupuncture treatment.
[0003] Existing acupuncture aids typically include a base, acupuncture needles, and placebo needles. The base has a needle insertion channel through which the acupuncture needles are inserted into the acupoints of the subjects in the experimental group. The placebo needle is inserted into the same channel to press against the acupoints of the subjects in the control group to create a needling sensation. To avoid subjects observing whether the acupuncture needles or placebo needles have penetrated the acupoints and thus affecting the accuracy of the experimental results, the base is usually made opaque. However, the opaque base makes it difficult for acupuncturists to accurately locate the subjects' acupoints during acupuncture, thus affecting the therapeutic effect of the acupuncture needles and placebo needles.

[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, an embodiment of this application provides an acupuncture assist device 100. The acupuncture assist device 100 includes a base assembly and a needle assembly.
[0039] The base assembly includes a first transparent base 111 and a second transparent base 112. Both the first transparent base 111 and the second transparent base 112 have privacy shielding layers on their outer sides. The first transparent base 111 has a first through hole 1111, and the second transparent base 112 has a second through hole 1121. The needle assembly includes an acupuncture needle and a comfort needle. The acupuncture needle passes through the first through hole 1111, and the comfort needle passes through the second through hole 1121.
[0040] The acupuncture auxiliary device 100 provided in the embodiments of this application, by providing a privacy layer on the outside of the first transparent base 111, facilitates the acupuncturist's vertical observation of the acupoints of the test subjects through the privacy layer and the first transparent base 111, enabling the acupuncturist to quickly and accurately insert the acupuncture needles into the acupoints, effectively improving the treatment efficiency and effect of acupuncture. On the other hand, the privacy layer also prevents the test subjects from observing whether the acupuncture needles have been inserted into the acupoints, thus avoiding any impact on the accuracy of the test results.
[0041] By setting a privacy layer on the outside of the second transparent base 112, the acupuncturist can observe the acupoints of the subjects in the experimental group vertically through the privacy layer and the first transparent base 111, thus enabling the placebo needle to be quickly and accurately pressed against the acupoints of the subjects in the control group to create a needling sensation, effectively improving the treatment efficiency and effect of the placebo needle. On the other hand, the privacy layer can also prevent the subjects in the control group from observing whether the placebo needle has been inserted into the acupoint, which would affect the accuracy of the experimental results.
[0042] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment of this application, both the first transparent base 111 and the second transparent base 112 are hollow hemispherical structures.
[0043] In this embodiment, by setting both the first transparent base 111 and the second transparent base 112 as hollow hemispherical structures, the weight of the first transparent base 111 and the second transparent base 112 is reduced, thereby lessening the burden on the subject and effectively improving the subject's treatment experience. On the other hand, the hollow hemispherical structure facilitates a wider range of angle adjustment for the acupuncture needles or placebo needles, making it easier for the acupuncturist to adjust the angle of the acupuncture needles or placebo needles to align with the subject's acupoints.
[0044] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown in the above embodiments of this application, the first transparent base 111 is provided with a first connecting part 1112 on the side facing the subject, the first connecting part 1112 is provided with a clearance hole 11121 communicating with the first through hole 1111, and the second transparent base 112 is provided with a second connecting part 1122 on the side facing the subject.
[0045] In this embodiment, a first connecting portion 1112 and a second connecting portion 1122 are respectively provided on the side of the first transparent base 111 and the second transparent base 112 facing the subject, so that the first transparent base 111 and the second transparent base 112 can be stably placed on the subject's test site through the first connecting portion 1112 and the second connecting portion 1122, respectively. At the same time, by opening a clearance hole 11121 on the first connecting portion 1112 that communicates with the first through hole 1111, a clearance hole 11121 is provided to facilitate the acupuncture needle to pass through the first through hole 1111 and the clearance hole 11121 in sequence and be inserted into the acupoints of the test group subjects.
[0046] For example, both the first connecting part 1112 and the second connecting part 1122 can be made of soft materials such as silicone or rubber. On the one hand, soft materials such as silicone or rubber can improve the subject's contact experience, and on the other hand, can prevent the subject from observing whether the acupuncture needle or placebo needle has been inserted into the acupoint through the first connecting part 1112 or the second connecting part 1122, thus affecting the accuracy of the test results.
[0047] In the above embodiments of this application, a first adhesive layer is provided on the side of the first connecting portion 1112 away from the first transparent base 111, and a first release layer is provided on the side of the first adhesive layer away from the first connecting portion 1112; a second adhesive layer is provided on the side of the second connecting portion 1122 away from the second transparent base 112, and a second release layer is provided on the side of the second adhesive layer away from the second connecting portion 1122.
[0048] In this embodiment, a first adhesive layer and a second adhesive layer are respectively provided on the side of the first connecting portion 1112 and the second connecting portion 1122 facing the subject, and a first release layer and a second release layer are respectively provided on the side of the first adhesive layer and the second adhesive layer facing the subject. This allows the acupuncturist to simply peel off the release layer to securely adhere the transparent base to the subject's test site via the adhesive layers. The operation is simple and convenient, effectively improving the treatment efficiency of acupuncture needles and placebo needles, and ensuring the stability of the transparent base on the subject's test site, thereby guaranteeing the treatment stability of acupuncture needles and placebo needles.
[0049] In the above embodiments of this application, the first transparent base 111, the first connecting part 1112, the first adhesive layer and the first release layer are integrally formed, and the second transparent base 112, the second connecting part 1122, the second adhesive layer and the second release layer are integrally formed.
[0050] In this embodiment, the first connecting part 1112, the first adhesive layer and the first release layer are integrally formed, and the second transparent base 112, the second connecting part 1122, the second adhesive layer and the second release layer are integrally formed. This allows the acupuncturist to simply peel off the release layer and then firmly attach the transparent base to the test site of the subject through the adhesive layer. This eliminates the step of pasting the connecting part to the base in the prior art, making the operation simple and convenient, and effectively improving the treatment efficiency of acupuncture needles and placebo needles.
[0051] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment of this application, multiple first through holes 1111 are provided, and the multiple first through holes 1111 are spaced apart along the circumference of the first transparent base 111.
[0052] In this embodiment, by setting the number of first through holes 1111 to multiple and arranging the multiple first through holes 1111 at intervals along the circumference of the first transparent base 111, the angle adjustment range of the acupuncture needle can be further expanded, thereby making it easier for acupuncturists to adjust the angle of the acupuncture needle to accurately locate the acupoints of the subject.
[0053] like Figure 1 As shown in the above embodiments of this application, the acupuncture auxiliary device 100 further includes a first conduit 120. The first transparent base 111 has a first groove 1113 that communicates with a plurality of first through holes 1111. The first conduit 120 is slidably connected to the first groove 1113 so as to select any one of the plurality of first through holes 1111 to communicate with the first conduit 120.
[0054] In this embodiment, by opening a first groove 1113 on the first transparent base 111 that communicates with multiple first through holes 1111, and sliding the first conduit 120 to the first groove 1113, when it is necessary to adjust the angle of the acupuncture needle, the acupuncture needle and the first conduit 120 are pulled out from the first through hole 1111 and the first conduit 120 is slid along the first groove 1113 to select any one of the multiple first through holes 1111 to communicate with the first conduit 120. Finally, the acupuncture needle is passed through the first conduit 120 and the first through hole 1111 communicating with the first conduit 120 in sequence and inserted into the acupoints of the subjects in the experimental group to achieve the adjustment of the angle of the acupuncture needle.
[0055] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment of this application, the acupuncture auxiliary device 100 further includes a second conduit 130. The second transparent base 112 has a second groove 1123 that communicates with the second through hole 1121. The second conduit 130 is disposed in the second groove 1123 and communicates with the second through hole 1121.
[0056] In this embodiment, by opening a second groove 1123 communicating with the second through hole 1121 in the second transparent base 112, and placing the second conduit 130 in the second groove 1123 and communicating with the second through hole 1121, the placebo needle can pass through the second conduit 130 and the second through hole 1121 in sequence and press against the acupoints of the control group subjects to form acupuncture sensation. In addition, the shape of the second transparent base 112 is basically consistent with that of the first transparent base 111, so as to avoid the second transparent base 112 being inconsistent with the shape of the first transparent base 111, which would cause psychological suggestion to the subjects and affect the accuracy of the test results.
[0057] In any of the above embodiments of this application, the head of the acupuncture needle is pointed, and the head of the comfort needle is blunt.
[0058] In this embodiment, the acupuncture needle is made with a pointed tip to facilitate insertion into the acupoints of the subjects in the experimental group. The placebo needle is made with a blunt tip to prevent it from piercing the acupoints of the subjects in the control group, while allowing the placebo needle to press against the acupoints of the subjects in the control group to create a needling sensation.
[0059] In any of the above embodiments of this application, the comfort needle includes a first clamping member, a second clamping member, a rotating member, and an elastic member. The first clamping member is rotatably connected to the second clamping member through the rotating member. The elastic member is sleeved on the rotating member and abuts against the first clamping member and the second clamping member respectively.
[0060] In this embodiment, by rotatably connecting the first clamping member to the second clamping member via a rotating member, and by sleeved the elastic member on the rotating member and abutting against the first clamping member and the second clamping member respectively, when the acupuncture auxiliary device 100 is applied to the head of the subject, the first clamping member and the second clamping member are kept close to each other under the drive of the elastic member, so as to clamp the hair of the subject in the control group, thereby allowing the placebo needle to be stably placed on the head of the subject in the control group, and thus allowing the placebo needle to stably press against the acupoints of the subject in the control group to form an acupuncture sensation.
[0061] For example, the rotating component can be a hinge shaft, and the elastic component can be a torsion spring.
