Description
ることを含み、かつ目標レベルに近付いていないと判定された場合に、周波数調整モジュール、振幅調整モジュール、および圧力調整モジュールの少なくとも1つに、ランダム調節と;予め定義された格子からの設定を適用することにより計算された調節と、発見的探索を適用することにより計算された調節と、所望の活動レベル変化と周波数、振幅、および圧力の少なくとも1つとの相関を含むルックアップ・テーブルから計算された調節と;解析モジュールにより特定された相関を含むデータベースから計算された調節とから選択された方法を使用して、周波数、振幅、および圧力の少なくとも1つを調節するよう指示するように配置される。このように、治療を人の個人差に適合させることができる。1人の患者の所望の視床下部の活動を達成する振動パラメータは、別の患者に対して調節されなければならない場合がある。この手順を自動化すれば、振動刺激治療を行うスタッフの教育の必要性を減らすことができる。さらに、有効な振動刺激治療についてのさらなる知識が時間と共に蓄積されて、治療を継続的に改善することができる。
患者についての第2のまたはさらなる回の治療を準備することに関する場合、視床下部の活動のレベル、および前回の治療中に使用され収集されたパラメータ等のデータが、第2のもしくはさらなる回の治療のパラメータの選択の基礎となり得る。
、および圧力の少なくとも1つとの相関を含む予めプログラムされたルックアップ・テーブルから計算された調節と;記憶された時間サンプルの変化と周波数、振幅、および圧力の記憶された少なくとも1つの変化との相関を特定することにより計算された調節とから選択された方法を使用して実行され得る。
に達するまで刺激が継続される。
材料および方法
本発明によるデバイスおよび方法を用いてパイロット試験が行われた。試験は、視床下部の活動に関連する疾患を持つ患者の鼻腔内で実施された。
血液酸素レベルに依存する機能的磁気共鳴画像(fMRI)を記録しながら、治療が行われた。患者は、視覚的アナログ・スケール(VAS)で、刺激前、刺激中、および刺激後の痛みを0〜10で評価した。0は痛みなしに対応し、10は最大の痛みに対応する。
本発明による振動療法によって、2人のALS患者を治療した。
患者は、左耳に影響を及ぼすメニエール病を5年間患っていた。薬物治療は成功せず、苦痛は左耳が難聴と分類される程度に達していた。患者は破壊的手術を受けるように言われていた。
最も多く見られる心臓不整脈、すなわち心房細動の1人の患者を、前記の一般的な説明によるデバイスおよび方法を用いて治療した。2年間心臓不整脈を患っているこの患者は、以前に薬物と、7回の電気ショック療法とにより治療を受けていた。どちらの治療法も成功しなかった。したがって、患者は、部分的に破壊的な処置であるアブレーションを受けるように言われていた。
前記の説明により治療された患者は、68Hzの刺激周波数によく反応した。
