CN-122006106-A - Use of a spinal-clamp acupoint electric needle in the manufacture of a device for treating parkinsonism frozen gait

Abstract

The invention relates to an application of a ridge-clamping acupoint electric needle in preparing equipment for treating parkinsonism frozen gait, and belongs to the technical field of traditional Chinese medicine modernization. The invention combines the traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture technology with the modern electric acupuncture technology, provides a new application of the electric acupuncture, adopts the electric acupuncture to stimulate the spinal acupuncture point region, transmits electric signals to the center through anterior and posterior branches of spinal nerves, promotes the release of basal ganglia, lightens the signal inhibition of a cortical auxiliary movement region, increases the excitatory input of spinal anterior horn motor neurons, thereby triggering the contraction of skeletal muscles, improving the bradykinesia and the frozen gait of patients suffering from Parkinson's disease, rapidly breaking pathological nerve loops of PD, and providing a new path for drugs or DBS refractory dyskinesias and frozen gait through long-term stimulation and remodeling of nerve functions.

Description

Use of a spinal-clamp acupoint electric needle in the manufacture of a device for treating parkinsonism frozen gait Technical Field The invention relates to an application of a ridge-clamping acupoint electric needle in preparing equipment for treating parkinsonism frozen gait, and belongs to the technical field of traditional Chinese medicine modernization. Background Parkinson's disease is a common degenerative disease of the central nervous system that affects mainly motor functions of the middle-aged and elderly but is accompanied by complex non-motor symptoms, which are clinically incurable. Frozen gait (freezing gait, FOG) of patients with advanced parkinson's disease is a clinical symptom which is difficult to improve, western medicine treatment has poor curative effect on the FOG at present, obvious curative effect attenuation and toxic side effect exist, deep brain electro-stimulation (DBS) can improve common symptoms of parkinson's disease, but the curative effect on the FOG is also not ideal, and therefore, a technology and equipment for improving the clinical symptom of the parkinson's disease more effectively are required to be sought. Disclosure of Invention The invention aims to solve the technical problem of providing the application of the ridge-clamping point electric needle in preparing equipment for treating parkinsonism frozen gait, and the frozen gait of a patient after parkinsonism is improved through the ridge-clamping point electric needle, so that the life quality of the patient is improved. In order to solve the technical problems, the invention adopts the following technical scheme: Use of a ridge-clamping acupoint electric needle in the manufacture of a device for treating parkinson's frozen gait. As a preferable scheme, the ridge point clamping electric needle comprises an acupuncture needle, an electric needle instrument and a millineedle electrode clamp, wherein the tail end of the millineedle electrode clamp is connected with the positive electrode and the negative electrode of the electric needle instrument through a lead, and the front end of the millineedle electrode clamp is clamped at the position 1/3 behind the needle handle of the acupuncture needle. As a preferable scheme, the electric acupuncture instrument is a low-frequency pulse electric acupuncture instrument, the electric acupuncture wave form is 120-300 Hz continuous wave, the frequency is 300Hz, the negative electrode and the positive electrode of the same group of electrodes are connected to the same side of the body, and the duration of single power-on is 30 minutes. As a preferable scheme, the acupuncture needle is used for needling the selected acupoints from the 5 th cervical vertebra C5 to the first thoracic vertebra T1 and from the first lumbar vertebra L1 to the fifth lumbar vertebra L5. As a preferable scheme, when the acupuncture needle is used for penetrating an acupuncture point, the needle point is inclined 15-30 degrees towards the spine direction, and the penetration depth of the needle point is 10-25 mm. Compared with the prior art, the invention has the following characteristics: 1. Gait disorder after parkinsonism belongs to a nervous system refractory disease, and occurs in multiple advanced stages, and both the drug and DBS operation have poor effects. FOG has feasibility after the electric needle ridge-clamping acupoint treatment PD, and a great deal of researches at the early stage prove the effectiveness, the effectiveness of the FOG after the traditional acupuncture treatment PD is reported, but no effective systematic scheme is formed, the invention creatively provides a new application of a ridge-clamping acupoint electric needle in preparing equipment for treating parkinsonism frozen gait, and aims to solve the problem that the accompanying symptoms of the refractory disease bring auxiliary effective treatment modes. 2. It is difficult to increase dopamine release by the application of drugs in the late stage of PD, and other ways should be found at this time, and the effect of simulating dopaminergic chemical signals is achieved by playing a synergistic initiation role on the action path of dopaminergic neurons. The principle of the invention for applying the electric needle with the ridge-clamping acupoint to the FOG after PD is that the electric needle transmits impulse to the sensory afferent fiber of the ridge nerve through electric stimulation, and the impulse is uploaded to the central nervous system through the ascending channel Aα/β, so that the equilibrium state of the striatal channel is regulated, the inhibition of the movement signal of the cortex is relieved, and the FOG after PD is improved. The invention applies the ridge-clamping acupoint electric needle to treat the post-PD FOG, which is not limited to the traditional method for focusing on increasing the secretion of dopamine neurons, but bypasses the damaged area, thereby enhancing synaptic plasticity and establi
