一种射频能量供电的注射式神经刺激器An injectable neurostimulator powered by radio frequency energy

技术领域technical field

本发明属于生物医学电子学医疗仪器技术领域。涉及一种注射式神经刺激器,更具体是涉及一种射频能量供电的注射式神经刺激器。本发明主要应用于生物医疗中,对神经或肌肉进行刺激。The invention belongs to the technical field of biomedical electronics medical instruments. It relates to an injectable nerve stimulator, and more particularly relates to an injectable nerve stimulator powered by radio frequency energy. The invention is mainly used in biomedicine to stimulate nerves or muscles.

背景技术Background technique

神经刺激器是一种生物医疗电子装置。它用于产生低频电脉冲对生物体进行功能性神经电刺激,以达到减轻病痛症状,恢复或调整神经或肌肉的功能等作用。神经刺激器可以由神经科医师,护士或经过培训的技术人员来进行校准,以满足个别病人的具体需要。目前市场上比较成熟和应用最广的是植入式神经刺激器。这种神经刺激器必须通过外科手术将其植入到人或其他动物的身体内,具有以下局限性:1)将植入式神经刺激器植入到身体内需要通过较长时间的手术(如植入脑深部刺激器需要约十二个小时),病人必须忍受一定的痛苦;2)相对于特定的需要刺激的靶点神经,植入式神经刺激器的尺寸相对较大,不能被植入到形状或体积受限的靶点神经或肌肉组织中(如脑部);为了将刺激信号传导至脑部部位,需要在电极上引入较长的电极延长导线;但是电极延长导线很容易发生移动,有可能在错误的位置引发一个电刺激,这会极大地增加感染的风险。而且在植入式神经刺激器的任何部分所诱发的感染往往会扩散到整个系统中,在这种情况下,必须再次通过外科手术对电池或整个植入神经刺激器进行更换;3)当前市场上通用的植入式神经刺激器主要使用非充电电池供电,电能在4到10年内会被耗尽,此时需要再次手术更换电池,因此其全寿命周期较短;4)植入植入式神经刺激器在植入体内后,如果发生不适,在需要移除或更换时,需要再次进行手术,因此对肌体组织造成的二次伤害较大。A neurostimulator is a biomedical electronic device. It is used to generate low-frequency electrical pulses to perform functional nerve electrical stimulation on organisms, so as to relieve pain symptoms, restore or adjust nerve or muscle functions, etc. Neurostimulators can be calibrated by neurologists, nurses, or trained technicians to meet the specific needs of individual patients. Implantable neurostimulators are currently the most mature and widely used in the market. This neurostimulator must be surgically implanted into the body of a human or other animal, which has the following limitations: 1) implanting the implantable neurostimulator in the body requires a long period of surgery (such as It takes about twelve hours to implant a deep brain stimulator), and the patient must endure a certain amount of pain; 2) Compared with the specific target nerve that needs to be stimulated, the size of the implantable neurostimulator is relatively large and cannot be implanted To the target nerve or muscle tissue with limited shape or volume (such as the brain); in order to transmit the stimulation signal to the brain, it is necessary to introduce a long electrode extension wire on the electrode; but the electrode extension wire is easy to move , it is possible to trigger an electrical stimulus in the wrong place, which greatly increases the risk of infection. Moreover, infections induced in any part of the implanted neurostimulator tend to spread throughout the system, in which case the battery or the entire implanted neurostimulator must be replaced surgically again; 3) the current market Implantable neurostimulators commonly used in the world are mainly powered by non-rechargeable batteries, and the power will be exhausted within 4 to 10 years. At this time, another operation is required to replace the battery, so its life cycle is short; 4) implantable After the nerve stimulator is implanted in the body, if discomfort occurs, when it needs to be removed or replaced, it needs to be operated again, so the secondary damage to the body tissue is relatively large.
