Abstract

Difficulties in treating chronic prostatitis cause physical pain and mental problems not only for the treating doctor, but also for the patient. Accordingly, the device of the present research was developed to help patients suffering from prostate symptoms due to the vibration effect of shock wave energy caused by thermal and mechanical interaction of the external shock wave. The purpose of this study is to provide an effective treatment means for prostatitis and BPH(Benign prostatic hyperplasia) by devising an extracorporeal shockwave therapy device that effectively applies the heat and vibration effects of concentrated energy by MCU and spiral coil module.

만성 전립선 염 치료의 어려움은 치료 의사뿐만 아니라 환자에게도 육체적 고통과 정신적 문제를 유발한다. 본 연구의 장치는 외부 충격파의 열적 및 기계적 상호 작용으로 인한 충격파 에너지의 진동 효과로 인해 전립선 증상으로 고통받는 환자를 돕기 위해 연구되었다. MCU와 나선형코일을 활용하여 집중된 에너지의 열 및 진동 효과를 발생시키고 이 파동을 효과적으로 적용하는 체외 충격파 치료 장치를 고안하여 전립선 염 및 전립선비대증(BPH, Benign prostatic hyperplasia)에 대한 효과적인 치료 수단을 제공하는 구조를 구현하였다.
