摘　　要：目的 :研制一种用于治疗失眠焦虑的神门穴电刺激装置,并通过志愿者测试验证效果。方法 :该装置包括单穴位电极、电刺激发生器2个部分。以一个圆形皮肤贴片和2个圆形电极构成单穴位电极,对神门穴进行精准刺激;由电刺激发生器按照特定的参数产生低频方波脉冲电,对焦虑失眠的受试者进行治疗;通过汉密尔顿焦虑量表评分和睡眠改善情况调查,检测该装置的治疗效果。结果:神门穴电刺激装置可以按照特定的参数对穴位进行精确刺激,对失眠焦虑受试者每天睡前进行30 min治疗,连续10 d,受试者汉密尔顿焦虑量表评分明显降低,睡眠质量明显改善。结论:神门穴电刺激装置可以有效减轻焦虑程度、改善睡眠障碍,是一种方便、有效、安全的辅助治疗方案。Objective To design and manufacture a Shenmen point electronic stimulator and determine its therapeutic effects for insomnia and anxiety. Methods The stimulator was composed of a single point electrode unit and an electronic stimulation generator. The single point electrode unit consisted of a circular transdermal patch and two circular electrodes which was used for precision stimulation on Shenmen point. The electronic stimulation generator released low-frequency square-wave pulse current based on specific parameters to treat the examinees with insomnia and anxiety. The curative effect of the stimulator was tested by Hamilton rating scale for anxiety and evaluation on improved sleeping. Results The stimulator executed precision stimulation based on specific requirements on the point. 30-min treatment with the stimulator before sleeping in 10 d contributed to significantly decreasing Hamilton rating scores for anxiety and improving sleeping quality.Conclusion The stimulator markedly attenuates anxiety and insomnia, and can be a convenient, effective and safe choice for adjunctive therapy of insomnia and anxiety.
