Interseizure epileptic activity-based intracranial neuron electrical stimulation system for treating epileptic seizure

PendingCN120957782AHead electrodesSensorsIntracranial stimulationElectrical stimulations
The invention provides an intracranial neuron electrical stimulation system for treating epilepsy and other brain diseases involving epileptic seizure, which can immediately apply intracranial neuron electrical stimulation to the interseizure epilepsy activity in a personalized manner after detecting the interseizure epilepsy pattern each time. And the stimulation is activated by intracranial electroencephalogram (EEG) detection. The intracranial stimulation for epileptic activities in the epileptic seizure period continuously acts along with time, the forming process of an epileptic network can be blocked, the neuronal super-synchronization risk is reduced, and therefore the control effect on epileptic seizure is improved. The invention also includes the use of nerve adjustment biomarkers, thereby dynamically optimizing the detectability and providing more accurate overall assessment for the patient's treatment progress. Finally, according to the scheme, by detecting the intracranial EEG mode and the high-risk state mode (such as the epileptic state and the sudden accidental death risk in epilepsy) in the attack period, an instant alarm is given to the patient / nursing personnel, and it is ensured that safe treatment measures are taken for the patient in time.
