Shock wave therapeutic apparatus and VAS (visual analog scale) evaluation module for same

Abstract

The invention discloses a shock wave therapeutic apparatus which comprises a main unit and control handles. The control handles comprise bullets and therapeutic probes; the main unit comprises a pressure device. The invention further relates to a VAS (visual analog scale) evaluation module applicable to the shock wave therapeutic apparatus. Pre-therapy and post-therapy pain evaluation can be carried out by the VAS evaluation module, and evaluation results can be obtained by the VAS evaluation module. The pain evaluation includes VAS scoring, facial expression measurement graphs can be obtained during pain evaluation, and the VAS scoring includes dynamic VAS scoring, static VAS scoring and sleep VAS scoring. The shock wave therapeutic apparatus and the VAS evaluation module have the advantages that tissue adhesion can be relaxed by the shock wave therapeutic apparatus, micro-circulation and metabolism can be improved by the shock wave therapeutic apparatus, the viability of cells can be enhanced by the shock wave therapeutic apparatus, and pain can be relieved by the shock wave therapeutic apparatus; clinical therapeutic effects of therapeutic methods can be accurately evaluated by the VAS evaluation module, and accordingly effects of shock wave therapy can be conveniently visually understood.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a shock wave therapeutic apparatus, which can be used for human body regulation and disease treatment, and also relates to a VAS evaluation module suitable for the shock wave therapeutic apparatus. Background technique [0002] The shock wave therapy device refers to the device that uses the energy generated by compressed air to drive the bullet body in the control handle, so that the bullet body pulses the treatment head, and uses the pressure wave generated by the elastic collision of the two to conduct percutaneous conduction on the pain site. Shock waves acting on the human body can produce the following effects: cavitation effect, stress effect, analgesic effect, and metabolic activation effect. Utilizing the physiological effects of shock waves, the shock wave therapy apparatus is suitable for adjuvant treatment of frozen shoulder, epicondylitis of humerus, and Achilles tendonitis.

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] Shock wave therapy instruments currently on the market are not equipped with a standardized pain assessment management system, so it is impossible to intuitively and accurately analyze the pain intensity and treatment effect of patients before and after shock wave therapy

Although it can be judged by a doctor, it depends heavily on the personal experience of the doctor, it is difficult to achieve a fast and efficient evaluation, and it cannot avoid misjudgment in some cases, such as when the doctor works for a long time and is tired

[0004] Although some experts believe that the visual analogue scale (VAS) is the most sensitive and reliable method among various methods of measuring pain, it has not been put into practice and has not been applied to the shock wave therapy device.
