Tencent Digital News (Compilation: Human) Medical technology has been continuously improving to solve all kinds of distress for patients and families, but you will find that for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), we Knowing that, apart from Hawking's genius, there is only one solution left as far as possible to make the patient more comfortable and hold off the symptoms. However, at present, there is not much progress in medical technology.
But now, everything seems to be changing.
According to a recent research paper published in the New England Journal of Medicine, although amyotrophic lateral sclerosis has no good way to restore the function of the whole body, researchers have developed a new one. The method allows the patient to communicate more with the outside world and no longer has to block himself in his "small world." The researchers implanted an ECoG in the patient's brain to restore the patient's brain's impulse and control, allowing the patient to communicate more with the outside world.
The researchers successfully transplanted a 58-year-old woman with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, who has now begun to move her eyes to communicate with the outside world. This device can display the content of the communication on the screen in front of her, and she responds by focusing her eyes on different letters. At present, the volunteer's communication speed with the outside world is still very slow. It takes about 20 seconds to control the eyes from the brain to the letter.
Researchers said that in the future this study will allow patients to do more things, but also increase their independence, such as controlling the air conditioning switch and TV switch. In an interview with the New Science magazine, the female volunteer stated that his greatest wish is to be able to control his own wheelchair and personally tune a TV channel.
