Device for treating patients by brain stimulation, electronic component and use of the device and electronic component in medicine and medical treatment method

摘要

A device for treating patients by brain stimulation and related electronic component and use of the device and of the electronic component in a medical treatment method. To achieve the brain stimulation result, a device includes at least one electrode for stimulating a brain region, at least one sensor for measuring an electrical signal, a control system which can detect the occurrence of a pathological feature of the electrical signal which was measured by the sensor and, when the pathological feature occurs, delivers at least one component from a group of stimulus sequences (a) through (d): (a) a short high-frequency pulse train, (b) a resetting short high-frequency pulse train followed by a further desynchronizing short high-frequency pulse train, (c) a resetting low-frequency sequence of a high-frequency pulse train followed by a desynchronizing high-frequency pulse train, or (d) a resetting single pulse followed by a short desynchronizing high-frequency pulse train to the electrode.
