With the rapid development of modern medical technology, treatment and rehabilitation methods for brain-related diseases are constantly innovating. Among them, the repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Encephalopathy has gradually become a "new favorite" in the field of brain health due to its non-invasive, safe and effective characteristics. It can play a unique regulatory role in both mental diseases such as insomnia and depression, and organic brain diseases such as brain injury and Parkinson's disease. Today, we will comprehensively interpret this "brain rehabilitation artifact" from the aspects of its principle, safety standards, applicable diseases and instrument maintenance.
The core charm of the Transcranial Magnetic Encephalopathy lies in its realization of "non-invasive intervention" on the brain by using physical principles. The scientific logic behind it is clear and rigorous, and it mainly functions through three mechanisms:
Controlled by a microcomputer, the instrument emits a "brain circulation" magnetic field that can non-invasively penetrate the skull, forming an alternating magnetic field in the deep part of the brain. This magnetic field changes the membrane potential of brain cells, "promoting" those brain cells on the verge of death to expel metabolic wastes and restore their activity. Finally, it realizes the self-repair of damaged brain cells and gradually returns brain function to normal.
The normal operation of the brain is inseparable from sufficient blood supply, and cerebrovascular occlusion and poor microcirculation are the root causes of many brain diseases. The alternating magnetic field generated by the therapeutic instrument forms a large number of positive charges in the brain, which strongly attract negatively charged red blood cells. When red blood cells deform and pass through narrow microcirculation channels to reach the lesion area, it not only improves local blood circulation, but also enhances the elasticity of cerebral blood vessels and gradually widens the microcirculation channels. Finally, a "collateral circulation" is established - just like opening a backup route for a blocked road to ensure the blood supply to the brain.
Under normal circumstances, the electrical activity of the brain (i.e., brain waves) presents a regular rhythm, while diseases such as epilepsy and depression can cause brain wave disorders. The alternating magnetic field formed by the therapeutic instrument can directly interfere with and inhibit the generation and spread of abnormal brain waves. Just like "organizing messy wires", it remodels the patient's brain electrical network function and restores the normal rhythm of brain waves, thereby achieving the purpose of treating diseases.
Although the rTMS therapeutic instrument is highly safe, it is not suitable for everyone, and strict compliance with regulations is required during use to avoid risks.
The following populations are prohibited from using it, otherwise serious consequences may occur:
- Pregnant and lactating women (the magnetic field may affect the development of the fetus or infant);
- Patients with serious underlying diseases of the liver, kidney, hematopoietic system, etc. (poor physical tolerance, which may aggravate the condition);
- People with implanted metal or electronic devices in the body (such as pacemakers, cochlear implants, metal dentures, intrauterine devices, etc. The magnetic field may interfere with the normal operation of the devices and even cause metal displacement);
- Patients with high fever, bleeding tendency (such as hemophilia), and acute cerebral hemorrhage (stimulation may aggravate bleeding or fever symptoms);
- Patients with malignant tumors and those who cannot tolerate magnetic fields.
Even for applicable populations, the following "minefields" should be avoided during use:
- It must be operated by professionally trained personnel under the guidance of a doctor, and the instruction manual must be read carefully before use;
- If dizziness, palpitations or other discomforts occur during the first use, stop using it immediately;
- Avoid pressing the magnetic therapeutic cap during treatment (such as lying on the back), otherwise the magnetic field output will be affected;
- If there is skin damage in the treatment area, use it after the wound heals;
- Before each treatment, the patient must first wear a disposable protective cap with a registration certificate, and then wear the magnetic therapeutic cap (to prevent cross-infection);
- After the treatment, the magnetic therapeutic cap must be removed first, and then the power supply must be turned off;
- If the instrument malfunctions, do not repair it by yourself, and contact the official after-sales service.
The Transcranial Magnetic Encephalopathy can provide auxiliary regulation for a variety of brain-related diseases. Exclusive plans need to be formulated for different diseases based on individual conditions (specifically, follow the doctor's advice). The following are 21 common types of applicable diseases:
- Childhood cerebral palsy
- Tourette's syndrome
- Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
- Brain atrophy
- Depression
- Epilepsy
- Severe autism in children
- Cerebral infarction recovery period
- Cerebral arteriosclerosis
- Lacunar cerebral infarction recovery period
- Postoperative rehabilitation of traumatic brain injury
- Brain fatigue syndrome
- Hypomnesis
- Neurosism
- Insomnia
- Hypertension (assisting in regulating related cerebral circulation problems)
- Mental disorder
- Parkinson's disease
- Senile dementia (Alzheimer's disease)
- Schizophrenia
- Nervous headache
