Description

Magnetic-Stimulation Guide Device The present disclosure relates, for example, to a magnetic stimulation guide device. rTMS (Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) is a non-invasive neuromodulation technique that uses magnetic fields in the brain to regulate neural activity. This technique is used to restore normal brain activity or to suppress the activity of specific parts of the brain. It is primarily applied in the treatment of mental illnesses and several neurological disorders, including mental health disorders, stroke, spinal cord injury, depression, paranoia, and antagonism. rTMS uses a magnetic field generated by an armature that produces a powerful magnetic field. This magnetic field is applied intensively to specific areas located on the surface of the brain. During this process, the activity of brain cells changes and can affect connected neural circuits. Generally, patients undergo multiple sessions during the treatment period. Each session lasts for several weeks, and the intervals and number of sessions may vary depending on the patient's condition and treatment objectives. One of the advantages of rTMS is that patients can safely maintain activity during treatment. This technology does not directly penetrate the brain and generally has few side effects. However, some temporary side effects, such as headaches, fatigue, or changes in skin sensation, may occur. By regulating the brain's magnetic activity, rTMS therapy may be relatively safe and have few side effects in the treatment of mental health disorders; related research is ongoing, and the potential for application to various neurological and mental health disorders is being explored. For example, PCT patent application publication WO 2010101311 A1 discloses a surgical pillow. The aforementioned background technology was possessed or acquired during the process of deriving the present disclosure and cannot be considered as prior art disclosed to the general public prior to the filing of the present disclosure.
