The adjuvant therapy device of drug addiction and method

The present invention relates to the adjuvant therapy apparatus and the method for drug addiction.

In the past, people had proposed a variety of suggestions of helping patients quit smoking, and wherein most variations still relates to medicated cigarette or false smoke.US-A-2 for example, 981,641 propose with N-alkyl nornicotine sprinkling Nicotiana tabacum L. to weaken smoker's smoking desire.US-A-3,439,685 suggestions increase a large amount of bitter principles in Nicotiana tabacum L..US-A-3,655,325 disclose a kind of false smoke box, and when people drew out cigarette case, it just sent cough sound with alerts people.US-A-3,885,576 propose to use a kind of wrist strap with mercoid switch, and it is connected in the circuit, when the people lifts arm and is put into medicated cigarette on the lip, can be shocked by electricity.US-A-3,886,953 and 3,963,033 discloses the cigarette case that finger, hands or arm that a kind of and smoker be accustomed to usefulness are connected, and causes electric shock for after one section time-delay the touching of cigarette case, meanwhile can hear chimes of doom.US-A-4,068,672 discloses a kind of cigarette holder, can send weak DC current when it is between smoker's the lip.US-A-4,311,691 have disclosed a kind of pressure transducer that is used for cigarette holder, when medicated cigarette is released from cigarette case, though pick off can be visited feel and trigger a weak annoying electric shock to the smoker.US-A-4, the alcoholic acid chewing gum of full malt charge is chewed in 311,691 suggestions, so that make the smoker feel so uncomfortable during smoking afterwards.US-A-4,620,555 disclose a kind of device that passs the smokes round, and only after the preset time interval, it just allows to take out medicated cigarette, and this device makes the smoker can rethink the decision of smoking.

The present invention solves this problem from different angles.In the course of treatment, patient stands withdrawal symptom possibly and stands continuously possibly the neural quality of addiction material such as nicotine is craved in existing ring addiction.Therefore people wish that those attempt to make the own patients that give up the addiction material that a kind of calming and stable emotional state should be arranged.A kind of successive, dull and rhythmical auditory stimulus helps people to obtain this calm and stable mental status.This phenomenon is explained by the balance of sympathetic nerve and parasympathetic functions that on neuro physiology this balance and stability whole autonomic nervous system.Rhythmical raindrop sound or the benz train the continuous sound give comfortable stimulation and make us drowsy and can not cause the custom, this is the proof that auditory stimulus is proved effective.

Medical circle has a well known fact in the Orient, and there is the quick acupoint of some electricity in auricle and outer audition road, and they are corresponding with the function of various tissues and internal organs on physiology.Western medicine recognizes also that ear and autonomic nervous system have nearly and gets in touch, and for example: the fact accepted of people widely: injecting cold water in ear can stimulating appetite.

Putting on thorn on certain acupoint goads into action on corresponding internal organs and is causing physiological reaction.Low-frequency current is used to do this stimulation usually, because this electricity irritation meeting suppresses parasympathetic nervous and vagal activity slightly.Cause that through the repetitious stimulation meeting of some days one-periods brain stem secretes endogenous anesthetis, also cause various glandular secretion endorphins simultaneously.These anesthetis and endorphin are sent to whole body and are used for eliminating misery subsequently.

Japan special permission bulletin No.57-11025 discloses a kind of electric driver, and it comprises element and cylindric pendulum of playing music.This vibratory stimulation is applied on the acupoint that is detected by probe, simultaneously the user listoning music is so that be shifted out attention from painful or worried transfer, and this worry may be that the mechanical vibration by instrument cause.
