Device for treating tic disorder placed in oral cavity

Abstract

The invention relates to the field of medical instruments, and provides a device for treating tic disorder placed in an oral cavity, which comprises a fixing part sleeving teeth of an upper and / or lower jaw, wherein the fixing part comprises an outer side wall positioned at the outer side of the teeth, an inner side wall positioned at the inner side of the teeth and an occlusal surface positionedat the end part of the teeth and connected with the outer side wall and the inner side wall respectively; the inner side wall can wrap the edge of the front part of a tongue; and a plurality of contacts are arranged at the outer side of the outer side wall and the inner side of the inner side wall. When the oral cavity is still, the stimulation formed by the contacts continuously regulates the degree of muscle tension innervated by the brain; when the oral cavity moves, the stimulation signal increases the regulation of the degree of muscle tension of the brain so as to reduce the occurrence of transient, rapid and repeated muscle tic; through the bite force of the upper jaw and the lower jaw and the motion of oral bones, muscles, tendons and mucous membranes are excited to excite the brain center, the output of neural information is actively fed back and adjusted, and the motion tension of the mouth is adjusted, so that the occurrence of involuntary tic is reduced.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of medical equipment, in particular to a tic disorder treatment device placed inside the oral cavity. Background technique [0002] Tic Disorder (TD) is a group of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders that start in childhood and adolescence. Clinically can be divided into 3 types: transient tic disorder (also known as tic disorder), chronic motor or vocal tics, Tourette syndrome (Tourette Syndrome, TS, tic-tourette syndrome) that is a combined tic disorder of vocalization and multiple movements Among them, TS is the most typical. Mainly manifested as involuntary, repetitive, rapid motor twitching and / or vocal twitching of one or more parts of the muscle (including dry cough, throat clearing, nasal suction, etc.), which may be accompanied by inattention and hyperactivity , Compulsive actions or thinking and other behavioral symptoms. Mainly manifested as involuntary, purposeless, repetitive, and rapid con...

Problems solved by technology

[0009] 2. As one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders, the existing non-drug effects are very, very limited

[0019] Deep brain stimulation is an invasive technique with high costs and uncertain efficacy, which is often difficult for children and their families to accept

[0020] The stimulation site, stimulation frequency, stimulation intensity, and stimulation course of transcranial magnetic stimulation for TS are not yet clear, and children need to come to a medical institution for treatment. Children and families accept
