Apparatus for the treatment of patients by means of brain stimulation, an electronic component, as well as the use of the device and of the electronic component in the fields of medicine and medical treatment process

摘要

The invention relates to a device for the treatment of patients by means of brain stimulation, an electronic component, as well as the use of the device and of the electronic component in medicine.According to the prior art, for the treatment of brain electrodes used for therapeutic permanent stimulation. In this case, however, is particularly disadvantageous that the high-frequency therapeutic permanent stimulation as a non-physiological, i.e, and method, input in the region of the brain, for example the thalamus or of the basal ganglia, in the course of a few years for the adaptation of the affected can lead, permanent. In order to achieve the same stimulation outcome, as a result of this adjustment must then be stimulated with a higher stimulus amplitude.According to the invention, these drawbacks in that a device is made available which comprises the following components:- at least one electrode (2) in the stimulation of a brain region,- at least one sensor (3, 2) for measuring an electric signal,- a control unit (4), which the occurrence of a pathological characteristic of the electrical signal representative of the sensor (3, 2) was measured, and upon the occurrence of the pathological feature at least one component from the group consisting of the stimulus is followed by a) to d)a) a short high frequency pulse train,b) a reset inserts short high frequency pulse train, followed by a further dessynchronisierenden short high frequency pulse train orc), which a reset ..
