Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of transcranial light modulation, specifically to a head-mounted component, transcranial light modulation device, and equipment for transcranial light modulation. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, transcranial phototherapy has been increasingly used as a non-invasive treatment method. Red or near-infrared light of a certain wavelength can penetrate the human skull and produce beneficial effects by stimulating cells, thereby achieving the purpose of treating brain function-related diseases, such as neurodegenerative diseases, mental illnesses, and traumatic diseases.

[0003] Transcranial light modulation devices emit red or near-infrared light through light-emitting elements worn on the head. When there is thick hair between the scalp and the light-emitting element, the transmission of red or near-infrared light is hindered, reducing the intensity of light stimulation reaching the target area. This is especially true for dark hair, which strongly absorbs light, leading to a decrease in treatment effectiveness. During treatment, the transcranial light modulation device is usually used in conjunction with a hair-parting component. The hair-parting component parts the hair on the user's scalp to create multiple light pathways, thereby transmitting transcranial light to the scalp.

[0004] The light-emitting element is typically housed within a fixed headgear, and the headgear shapes used to support and position this element are currently quite limited. During use, the hair-guiding component needs to gather hair from the frontal lobe, greater motor cortex, and temporal lobe at the occipital lobe and allow it to hang naturally. The fixed shape of the headgear prevents further manipulation of the hair gathered at the occipital lobe, especially for those with long hair. The abundant hair at the occipital lobe absorbs light strongly, significantly reducing the intensity of light stimulation and impacting treatment effectiveness. Furthermore, transcranial phototherapy devices are relatively large and currently primarily used in fixed settings such as hospitals, making them inconvenient for users to carry and use, thus affecting their experience. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the issues of low light stimulation intensity in the occipital lobe region, which affects treatment efficacy, and the inconvenience of carrying transcranial light modulation devices, this application provides a head-mounted assembly for transcranial light modulation. This head-mounted assembly may include a sheet-like component with a hollow structure and multiple light-emitting elements. When transcranial light modulation is performed, the sheet-like component at least surrounds the circumference of the subject's head. The hollow structure forms at least an anterior island portion, a posterior island portion, a pair of side island portions located between the anterior and posterior island portions, a apex island portion, and multiple cross-linking portions interconnecting adjacent island portions. The posterior edge of the apex island portion is spaced apart from the posterior island portion. The hollow structure formed by the apex island portion and the posterior island portion, and the cross-linking portions between the apex and posterior island portions, serves as a hair-gathering opening. Furthermore, a first portion of the multiple light-emitting elements is disposed on the inner surface of the posterior island portion facing the subject, and this first portion is configured to correspond to the occipital lobe region of the subject. Therefore, during transcranial phototherapy, the subject's hair can be coiled up and exposed through the hair bun opening, preventing the hair from gathering in the occipital lobe region. This effectively reduces the hair thickness in the occipital lobe region, increases the light stimulation intensity of the light-emitting elements in the occipital lobe region, and significantly improves the transcranial phototherapy effect in the occipital lobe region. Simultaneously, by using a perforated sheet-like structure instead of a fixed headgear structure, the portability of the transcranial phototherapy device is improved, enhancing the user experience.

[0006] This application also provides a transcranial optical modulation device, including an optical guide comb and any of the head-mounted components mentioned above. When the transcranial optical modulation device is worn on a subject's head, the optical guide comb head-mounted component is positioned between the head-mounted component and the subject's head. Because this transcranial optical modulation device includes any of the aforementioned head-mounted components, it can achieve all the beneficial effects achievable by the aforementioned head-mounted components.

[0007] This application also provides a transcranial light modulation device, including a main unit and the aforementioned transcranial light modulation device, wherein the main unit is electrically connected to a plurality of light-emitting elements of the transcranial light modulation device. Because this transcranial light modulation device includes any of the aforementioned head-mounted components, it can achieve all the beneficial effects achievable by the aforementioned head-mounted components.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] In the following description, numerous details are provided to enable a thorough understanding of this application. However, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the following description merely illustrates preferred embodiments of the application, and that the application can be implemented without one or more of these details. Furthermore, to avoid confusion with this application, some technical features well-known in the art have not been described in detail.

[0026] This application provides a head-mounted assembly for transcranial photodynamic therapy. The head-mounted assembly is worn on the head of an individual to perform transcranial photodynamic therapy on that individual. The term "head" as used in this application refers to organs above the neck (cervical spine), including the brain and extracranial tissues such as the skull, skin, and hair. The term "brain" as used in this application refers to the organ remaining after the removal of extracranial tissues, primarily intended to refer to the cerebrum, but not limited to it, and may also include the cerebrum, cerebellum, and brainstem. The term "whole brain" as used in this application is intended to distinguish it from separate brain regions such as the frontal lobe and temporal lobe, but is not limited to all regions of the "brain." "Whole brain" at least includes the frontal lobe, temporal lobe, parietal lobe, and occipital lobe, as well as the various sub-regions under each of the aforementioned brain regions, and in some cases (but not necessarily) may further include other brain regions.

[0027] Figures 1 to 7A head-mounted assembly for transcranial phototherapy according to a first embodiment of this application is shown. As shown, the head-mounted assembly includes a sheet-like member 100 with a hollow structure and a plurality of light-emitting elements. The sheet-like member 100, when transcranial phototherapy is being performed, at least surrounds the circumference of the subject's head. Thus, the sheet-like member 100 can be positioned relative to the subject's head. Exemplarily, when transcranial phototherapy is being performed, the sheet-like member 100 at least surrounds the circumference of the subject's head along a direction surrounding the frontal lobe, occipital lobe, and left and right temporal lobes. However, this does not mean that the sheet-like member 100 must cover the frontal lobe, occipital lobe, and left and right temporal lobes. The plurality of light-emitting elements can be mounted on the sheet-like member 100. The sheet-like member 100 can be used to position the plurality of light-emitting elements at predetermined locations on the subject's head. The sheet-like member may include a single-layer substrate or a composite substrate with at least two layers. Each layer of substrate may be made of any of the following materials: silicone, fabric, leather, etc. In the case where the sheet-like part comprises at least two layers of composite substrate, the materials of the at least two substrates can be the same, differing only in other physical properties, such as different hardness, different elasticity, different tensile strength, etc. For example, the sheet-like part 100 can employ a three-layer composite substrate design, with the middle layer being neoprene rubber, and the inner and outer substrates both made of highly elastic fibers (such as Lycra, polyether ester elastic fibers) fabric. The material used to make the sheet-like part can have good skin-friendliness, especially on the inner surface facing the head. The sheet-like part can be flexible and / or elastic to maintain its shape after repeated use, stretching, and / or torsion.

[0028] The sheet-like component 100 can have a hollow structure, thus allowing it to form at least an anterior island portion 110, a posterior island portion 120, a pair of lateral island portions 130, a top island portion 140, and multiple interconnecting portions linking adjacent island portions. The pair of lateral island portions 130 are located between the anterior island portion 110 and the posterior island portion 120. The pair of lateral island portions 130 can be located on the left and right sides of the subject's head, generally corresponding to the left and right temporal lobe regions. Each lateral island portion 130 is connected to both ends of the anterior island portion 110 and the posterior island portion 120 via interconnecting portions, such that the sheet-like component 100 at least surrounds the circumference of the subject's head. Along the circumference, the anterior island portion 110 generally corresponds to the forehead region, the posterior island portion 120 generally corresponds to the occipital lobe region, and the pair of lateral island portions 130 generally correspond to the left and right temporal lobe regions. The front island portion 110 is connected to a pair of side island portions 130 via a crosslinking portion 191, and the rear island portion 120 is connected to a pair of side island portions 130 via a crosslinking portion 192. The top island portion 140 corresponds to at least a portion of the large motion area. Exemplarily, the left and right sides of the top island portion 140 can be connected via a crosslinking portion 193 to one or more of the following portions: the side island portions 130, the front island portion 110, the rear island portion 120, the crosslinking portion 191 between the side island portions 130 and the front island portion 110, and the crosslinking portion 192 between the side island portions 130 and the rear island portion 120. Each of the aforementioned island portions is used to fix at least a majority of the plurality of light-emitting elements. The crosslinking portions connect the respective island portions, resulting in a hollow structure for the sheet member 100. The hollow structure makes it easier for an object to wear the headgear assembly, allowing the headgear assembly to fit more snugly against the object's head, and improving wearing comfort.

[0029] The rear edge of the top island portion 140 can be spaced apart from the rear island portion 120. The hollow structure formed by the cross-linking portion (e.g., cross-linking portion 193) between the top island portion 140 and the rear island portion 120, and the cross-linking portion (e.g., cross-linking portion 193) between the top island portion 140 and the rear island portion 120, is the hair-binding opening 150. The subject's hair can be combed by a light guide comb to expose it through the hair-binding opening 150. This improves the fit between the sheet member 100 and the subject's head, making it easier to fix the sheet member 100. Thus, excessively thick hair between the rear island portion 120 and the subject's head can be avoided, which could affect the treatment effect. The first portion 210 of the plurality of light-emitting elements can be disposed on the inner side of the rear island portion 120 facing the subject, and the first portion 210 is configured to correspond to the occipital lobe region of the subject.

[0030] During transcranial phototherapy, the subject's hair can be coiled up and exposed through the hair bun opening 150°, preventing the hair from gathering in the occipital lobe area. This effectively reduces the hair thickness in the occipital lobe area, increases the light stimulation intensity of the light-emitting elements in the occipital lobe area, and significantly improves the transcranial phototherapy effect in this area. Simultaneously, by using a perforated sheet-like structure instead of a fixed headgear structure, the portability of the transcranial phototherapy device is improved, enhancing the user experience.

[0031] For example, such as 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the second portion 220 of the plurality of light-emitting elements can be disposed on the inner side of the top island portion 140 facing the object. The second portion 220 can be configured to at least correspond to a portion of the large motion area of ​​the object. This allows for transcranial light modulation of a portion of the large motion area of ​​the object. For example, as... Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, the third portion 230 of the plurality of light-emitting elements can be disposed on the inner surface of a pair of side island portions 130 facing the object. The third portion 230 can be configured to at least correspond to a portion of the temporal lobe region of the object. In this way, transcranial light modulation can be performed on a portion of the temporal lobe region of the object.

[0032] For example, the fifth portion 250 of the plurality of light-emitting elements may be disposed in at least a portion of the cross-linking portion facing the inner side of the object. In some embodiments, if the island portion is small and may not be able to accommodate enough light-emitting elements, light-emitting elements may be disposed on adjacent cross-linking portions, so that the smaller island portion and the light-emitting elements on the adjacent cross-linking portions work together to irradiate the corresponding brain region. Using a smaller island portion allows the sheet 100 to have a larger hollow area. While ensuring sufficient tensile force, the sheet 100 can fit the shape of the object's head more closely to accurately position the light-emitting elements relative to the object's head, making it easier to control the intensity of light stimulation reaching the target stimulation site; in addition, it can provide better permeability to increase heat dissipation and breathability, and improve wearing comfort.

[0033] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, exemplarily, the top island portion 140 can be connected to a pair of side island portions 130 via cross-linking portions 193. A light-emitting element can be provided on the cross-linking portion 193, thereby cooperating with the light-emitting element on the top island portion 140 to illuminate at least a portion of the large motion area of ​​the object. Exemplarily, on each of the left and right sides of the top island portion 140, the top island portion 140 can be connected to the corresponding side island portion 130 via two cross-linking portions 193. The two cross-linking portions 193 can be spaced apart in the front-back direction to form a hollow structure between them, such as the third hollow structure 163 described below. Thus, the top island portion 140 and the cross-linking portions 193 on its left and right sides together form a generally X-shaped structure, which helps to closely wrap around the head of the object, maintain sufficient tensile strength, and also provides good breathability.

[0034] Optionally, each group of light-emitting elements can be evenly distributed on the corresponding island-shaped portion, such as in a square or triangular grid. This ensures that the light emitted by each group of light-emitting elements can evenly illuminate the corresponding brain region of the subject, avoiding either insufficient local light stimulation intensity leading to reduced effectiveness or excessive light stimulation intensity causing overheating. Alternatively, the density of light-emitting elements in specific areas can be set according to actual needs.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the sheet-like member 100 can be broken along the circumference of the subject's head to form an adjustment opening 170. The adjustment opening 170 has a first side and a second side opposite each other along the circumference of the head. The first side and the second side are connected by a fastening assembly 180. The fastening assembly 180 can be Velcro, an adjustment buckle, or an adjustment strap, etc. By adjusting the fastening assembly 180, the circumference of the head-mounted assembly can be easily adjusted to accommodate different head circumferences of subjects, preventing the head-mounted assembly from shifting off from the subject's head during transcranial Doppler (TCD) therapy, thus improving the wearing comfort. Exemplarily, the adjustment opening 170 can be located on any island-shaped portion arranged along the circumference of the subject's head or on the cross-section between these island-shaped portions. Figures 1 to 7 In the illustrated embodiment, the adjustment opening 170 is located on the front island portion 110. Figures 8 to 12 In the illustrated embodiment, the adjustment opening 170' is located on the rear island portion 120. In other embodiments not shown, the adjustment opening may also be located on the side island portion 130, the cross-linking portion 191 between the side island portion 130 and the front island portion 110, or the cross-linking portion 192 between the side island portion 130 and the rear island portion 120. Furthermore, although only one adjustment opening is provided in the illustrated embodiment, at least two adjustment openings may be provided in other embodiments not shown. For example, adjustment openings may be provided on both the front island portion 110 and the rear island portion 120, or adjustment openings may be provided on both pairs of side island portions 130.

[0036] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, in the first embodiment, there may be one top island portion 140, and the front edge of the top island portion 140 may be spaced apart from the front island portion 110 to form a first hollow structure 161 in conjunction with the cross-linking portion 193 between the top island portion 140 and the front island portion 110. The front island portion 110 is a strip extending along the head circumference, and the adjustment opening 170 may be provided on the front island portion 110. The strip-shaped front island portion 110 is easier to fit the fixing component 180. In this way, the front island portion 110 and the top island portion 140, and the cross-linking portion 193 between the front island portion 110 and the top island portion 140, can surround to form a first hollow structure 161 with a larger area, thereby improving the breathability and heat dissipation of the headgear and increasing its fit to the head.

[0037] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the two side edges of the top island portion 140 are spaced apart from each of the side island portions 130, forming a third hollow structure 163 in conjunction with the cross-linking portion 193 between the top island portion 140 and each of the side island portions 130. This improves the breathability of the headgear and its fit to the user's head.

[0038] For example, the front island portion 110 may not have a light-emitting element, thus allowing the strip-shaped front island portion 110 to be narrower, making it easier to fit the fixing component 180, and allowing the area of ​​the first hollow structure 161 to be larger. A light-emitting element may be provided on the inner surface of the cross-linking portion 193 between the top island portion 140 and each side island portion 130, facing the object. Because each cross-linking portion 193 has hollow structures on both sides, a wider cross-linking portion 193 is required to ensure the connection strength between adjacent island portions and the comfort of the object when wearing it, thus also satisfying the need to provide a light-emitting element on the cross-linking portion 193. Providing a light-emitting element on the cross-linking portion 193 allows for full utilization of the space on the sheet 100, enabling illumination of more areas of the object's brain.

[0039] Since the first hollow structure 161 and the third hollow structure 163 have large areas, they can better meet the ventilation and heat dissipation requirements of the object's head. This allows for an increase in the area of ​​the rear island 120, an increase in the number of the first part 210 in the light-emitting elements, and an improvement in the transcranial light control effect on the occipital lobe region of the object.

[0040] For example, the lower edge of the posterior island portion 120 can be located below the occipital protuberance when worn on the head. In this way, the light emitted by the light-emitting element can illuminate a larger area of ​​the occipital lobe, thereby improving the effect of transcranial light modulation on the occipital lobe of the subject.

[0041] Figures 8 to 12A head-mounted assembly according to a second embodiment of this application is shown. Components in the second embodiment that are identical or similar to those in the first embodiment are referred to by the same or similar reference numerals. For brevity, the following description focuses only on the differences between the second and first embodiments.

[0042] like Figures 8 to 12 As shown, the fourth portion 240 of the plurality of light-emitting elements can be disposed on the inner side of the anterior island portion 110 facing the object, and the fourth portion 240 is configured to at least correspond to a portion of the frontal lobe region of the object. In this way, transcranial light modulation can be performed on a portion of the frontal lobe region of the object.

[0043] For example, continue to refer to Figures 8 to 12 The front island portion 110 and the top island portion 140, and the cross-linking portions 193' and 194 between them, can form at least one first hollow structure 161. In the illustrated second embodiment, two first hollow structures 161 can be provided, separated by the cross-linking portion 194, to improve the connection strength between the front island portion 110 and the top island portion 140.

[0044] For example, the front island portion 110 and each side island portion 130, and the cross-linking portion 191' between the front island portion 110 and each side island portion 130, can form at least one second hollow structure 162.

[0045] For example, the top island portion 140 and each side island portion 130, and the cross-linking portion 193' between the top island portion 140 and each side island portion 130, can form at least one third hollow structure 163.

[0046] For example, the cross-linking portion 192' between the rear island portion 120 and each side island portion 130, and between the rear island portion 120 and each side island portion 130, can form at least one fourth hollow structure 164.

[0047] In the second embodiment, the area of ​​the multiple hollow structures can be relatively small, only needing to meet the object's ventilation and heat dissipation requirements. This allows for a larger area of ​​each island-like part, enabling transcranial light modulation of a wider range of the object's brain regions.

[0048] Furthermore, it should be noted that one or more of the aforementioned perforated structures can be omitted. For example, since the area of ​​the cross-linking portion between the front island portion 110 and each side island portion 130 is small, the cross-linking portion between the front island portion 110 and each side island portion 130 does not need to form a perforated structure. Referring back to the first embodiment, the cross-linking portion 191 between the front island portion 110 and each side island portion 130 can extend continuously between the front island portion 110 and each side island portion 130 without a perforated structure. In addition, in other embodiments not shown, perforated structures at other locations can be omitted, or more perforated structures can be provided compared to the illustrated embodiment. Those skilled in the art can reasonably select the position and number of perforated structures by comprehensively considering tensile strength, island area, air permeability, etc.

[0049] Continue to refer to Figures 8 to 12 The adjustment opening 170' can be located on the rear island portion 120. The front island portion 110 extends rearward and is connected to the top island portion 140 through the cross-linking portions 193' and 194 between the first hollow structures 161. The hair tying opening 150 and the adjustment opening 170' can communicate, thus facilitating adjustment of the headband assembly to fit the head circumference range.

[0050] Furthermore, it should be noted that the light-emitting elements on each insula do not necessarily need to be evenly distributed; they can be arranged according to the location of the brain region to be irradiated. For example... Figure 12 As shown, on the larger top island-shaped portion 140, the second part 220 of the multiple light-emitting elements can be divided into left and right clusters to correspond to the left and right large motion areas respectively. In this way, the light-emitting elements can accurately illuminate the area to be controlled, reducing the number of unnecessary light-emitting elements and lowering costs.

[0051] like Figure 1 As shown, exemplarily, the front island portion 110 and the top island portion 140, along with the cross-linking portion between them, can cooperate to position the optical guide comb 300 facing the inner surface of the object. The optical guide comb 300 can be configured to be worn on the object's head corresponding to the front of the hair-binding opening 150. Exemplarily, the rear island portion 120 can be positioned on the inner surface of the object, and the optical guide comb can be configured to be worn on the object's head corresponding to the rear of the hair-binding opening 150. The hair-binding opening 150 is formed by surrounding the top island portion 140 and the rear island portion 120, and the cross-linking portion 193 between the top island portion 140 and the rear island portion 120. Besides accommodating the object's hair bundle as mentioned above, this also facilitates the positioning of the optical guide comb.

[0052] Specifically, such as Figure 1As shown, the optical guide comb 300, installed inside the front island portion 110, the top island portion 140, and the cross-linking portion 193 between them, can be positioned by hair bundles combed from the hair-binding opening 150. The hair bundles can be bound or gathered using hair-binding elements such as hair ties and extend from the hair-binding opening 150. The hair-binding elements can assist in positioning the optical guide comb 300 and prevent it from moving backward. Even without restraining the hair at the hair-binding opening 150 by the hair-binding elements, since at least most of the hair is gathered at the hair-binding opening 150, and the hair at that location is thicker, it is possible to limit the backward movement of the optical guide comb 300. The sheet-like element at the front of the hair-binding opening 150 (especially the front island portion 110) can limit the forward movement of the optical guide comb 300, thereby positioning the optical guide comb 300.

[0053] Similarly, the light guide comb installed inside the rear island portion 120 can also be positioned by the hair from the hair bun opening 150, preventing the light guide comb from moving forward. The rear island portion 120 can restrict the rearward movement of the light guide comb 300, thereby positioning the light guide comb 300.

[0054] It is understood that although the optical guide comb in the second embodiment is not shown in the figure, its working method and positioning method are the same as those in the first embodiment, and will not be described again here.

[0055] Light-guiding combs can be made of materials with high light transmittance, such as polypropylene (PP) or acrylic. Using a light-guiding comb to comb hair creates multiple light-transmitting channels on the scalp, thus preventing the light emitted by the light-emitting element from being absorbed by the hair, minimizing light loss, and making it easier to meet the light stimulation intensity required for transcranial phototherapy, resulting in better transcranial phototherapy effects.

[0056] This application also provides a transcranial light modulation device, including a light guide comb 300 and any of the head-mounted components mentioned above. When the transcranial light modulation device is worn on a subject's head, the light guide comb 300 is positioned between the head-mounted component and the subject's head by the head-mounted component. The head-mounted component, used in conjunction with the light guide comb, can increase light transmittance by more than 30%. Because this transcranial light modulation device includes any of the aforementioned head-mounted components, it can achieve all the beneficial effects achievable by the aforementioned head-mounted components.

[0057] This application also provides a transcranial light modulation device, including a main unit and the aforementioned transcranial light modulation device, wherein the main unit is electrically connected to a plurality of light-emitting elements of the transcranial light modulation device. Because this transcranial light modulation device includes any of the aforementioned head-mounted components, it can achieve all the beneficial effects achievable by the aforementioned head-mounted components.

[0058] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by directional terms such as "front", "back", "up", "down", "left", "right", "horizontal", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", and "bottom" is usually based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings and is only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description.
