Device for treating epilepsia

Abstract

The invention discloses a device for treating epilepsia, comprising at least one electric potential monitoring electrode and a corresponding voltage amplifying circuit, at least one current electrode and a corresponding voltage clamp circuit, and a voltage analysis and control circuit and a power circuit, wherein the electric potential monitoring electrode is connected with an input terminal of the voltage analysis and control circuit by the power amplifying circuit, the current electrode is connected with an output terminal of the voltage analysis and control circuit through the voltage clamp circuit and the power circuit provides working power for all the circuits. The device of the invention applies no medicine and causes no drug side-effect to patients when carrying out treatment, does not need to damage the brain nervous system, can avoid causing severe damage to the nervous system of human brain, affecting the functions of the nerve centre; and in addition, with the device, stopping the ongoing treatment is convenient, the structure of the nervous system prior to treatment can be restored and treatment safety is high.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to medical appliances, in particular to a treatment device for epilepsy. Background technique [0002] Epilepsy is a common and frequently-occurring disease clinically, and it is currently recognized in the medical community that seizures are caused by synchronous excitation of neurons. [0003] We know that neurons are excitable cells in the nervous system, and neurons exchange information through chemical synapses and electrical synapses. Since the neuron's cell membrane is only sensitive to K in the resting state + Permeabilization, thus resulting in the presence of NA inside and outside the cell + 、K + Physiologically, it is assumed that the potential outside the cell membrane is 0, so there is a resting potential of about -70mv in the resting neuron cell. When neuronal cells receive weaker excitatory stimuli (subthreshold stimulation), they are not enough to cause NA on the cell membrane + Ion channels open in large numb...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0005] There are many patients whose seizures cannot be controlled by drug therapy, and drug therapy also has serious side effects

[0006] Neurosurgery has adopted surgical treatment for some intractable epilepsy, surgical resection or destruction of pathological foci and epileptic foci, and has achieved certain curative effect clinically; surgical treatment for some intractable epilepsy has also encountered serious challenges. Surgical resection or destruction will lead to loss of function when the focus is located in an important functional area, and non-resection or destruction of the epileptic focus will make epilepsy uncontrollable
