面部穴位雷射針灸儀之微控制器系統研製與應用

現今科技日新月異，輔助醫療之設備亦漸漸為人們健康把關與幫助復健。根據許多已發表的文獻記載，以雷射照射人體穴道確能引起生化反應，使經絡、穴道活化，相關的雷射醫療儀器設備也陸續被研發出來，成為許多醫院的基本配備，但可攜式功能療程的雷射醫療儀器設備則不多見，而本研究為結合專業醫師之實務經驗所設計之療程，使用5 mW/cm2、波長655 nm之雷射二極體作為光源，開發一套具可攜式與模組化診療的晶片式雷射針灸面罩，並針對面部穴位的刺激進而達到治療目標。整體的研究上分為：系統機構設計、晶片程式資料編寫、實驗與臨床之應用。機構外型設計主要以符合面部特定穴道位置及舒適性為考量，選用ABS作為快速射出成型之材料製作原型，以滿足少量多變化的需求；在電路控制方面，CPU選用89C51為主要控制器，利用解多工器控制輸出訊號之位置變化，DAC控制其訊號強弱，以執行8組(16顆)雷射光束之強度、時間及次序控制，而療程則建立成資料庫於微控制器晶片中，並針對不同病患製作可攜式之模組化療程系統，藉由體積輕便、易於攜帶之方式期許達普及化治療之目標。在針對疲勞放鬆實驗中，發現面部淺層皮膚穴位受低功率雷射總能量在0.55 J/cm2左右時，在消除疲勞與放鬆肌肉兩項自我評量中效果顯著，同時在此情況下良導絡反應結果亦相當顯著，並在長期使用光灸儀輔助治療的臨床紀錄中均有良好的成效，驗證本儀器之診療效果。

As the science and technology change with each passing day, the auxiliary equipments of medical treatment have become strong in safeguarding health. According to many published literature, application of laser beam to the human acupoints can induce biochemical reactions which activates the meridian accordingly. Devices based on laser were developed gradually and become basic instruments for acupuncture treatment in hospitals. Portable models of this kind of instrument, however, are seldom seen. Our project designs are based on extensive clinical experiences from many working professionals. Using a laser source of wavelength 655nm and power of 5 mW/ cm2, we developed a portable and modularized laser acupuncture faceplate system to stimulate acupoints on the face and achieve therapeutic effects. The research work has been organized as, developed the prototype of system, written the coding of chip, experimental and clinical application. The system is designed by considering face position for comfortable and specific applications. Therefore we select the material of ABS to make the prototype in RP machine, in order to meet a few amount of demand that change more. In the circuit of control, we use CPU-89C51 as the main controller and use the DAC to control the amplitude of the output voltage. In order to control the intensity, time, and orders of the laser light beam, this demultiplexer controls the point position for presenting varieties. The course of medical treatment is set up into a database of the micro-controller, and we can design the portable module of treatment system for different patients. In the relaxing experiment of weariness, when the total energy quantity of low power laser received by the shallow layer of face skin acupoint is about 0.55 J/ cm2, there are two good effects about fatigue dissolving and muscle relaxing, simultaneously, the response of Ryodoraku is very obvious under this situation, and the effect is good in the clinical report of the treating with our system for auxiliary, therefore, we verify the effect of the diagnosis successfully by using the system.
