Abantu abaningi abaphila nesifo sokuwa bazama imishanguzo ehlukahlukene yokuquleka ngamazinga ahlukene empumelelo. Ucwaningo lukhombisa ukuthi amathuba okuba angabanjwa ayancipha ngohlelo lwemithi olandelanayo olusha ngalunye.

Uma usuvele unikezwe imishanguzo emibili noma ngaphezulu yesithuthwane ngaphandle kwempumelelo, ungahle uthande ukuhlola izindlela zokwelapha ezingezona izidakamizwa. Enye indlela i-vagus nerve stimulation (VNS). Le nketho ikhonjisiwe ukunciphisa kakhulu imvamisa yokuquleka kubantu abanesithuthwane.

Nasi ukubuka kafushane kwezisekelo ukukusiza ukuthi unqume ukuthi i-VNS ingakulungela yini.

Lokho okwenzayo

I-VNS isebenzisa ithuluzi elincane elifakwe esifubeni sakho ukuthumela amapayipi wamandla kagesi ebuchosheni bakho nge-vagus nerve. Inzwa ye-vagus iyi-pair cranial nerve pair exhunywe emisebenzini yezimoto neyezinzwa ezonweni zakho nasempophweni.

I-VNS inyusa amazinga akho we-neurotransmitter futhi ivuselele izindawo ezithile zobuchopho ezihilelekile ekuqulekeni. Lokhu kungasiza ekunciphiseni ukuphindeka nobukhulu bokuhlaselwa kwakho futhi ngokuvamile kuthuthukise ikhwalithi yakho yokuphila.

Kufakwa kanjani

Ukufaka idivayisi ye-VNS kuhilela inqubo emfushane yokuhlinza, imvamisa ehlala imizuzu engama-45 kuye kwengu-90. Udokotela ohlinzayo ofanelekayo wenza le nqubo.

Ngesikhathi senqubo, kwenziwa imbobo encane ohlangothini olungenhla kwesobunxele sesifuba sakho lapho kuzofakwa khona into ekhiqiza ukushaya kwenhliziyo.

Ukusikwa kwesibili bese kwenziwa ohlangothini lwesobunxele lwentamo yakho engezansi. Kuzofakwa izintambo ezimbalwa ezincanyana ezixhuma idivayisi ku-vagus nerve yakho.

Amadivayisi

Umshini odala ukushaya kwenhliziyo uvame ukuba yinsimbi eyisicaba, eyindilinga equkethe ibhethri elincane, elingahlala kuze kube yiminyaka eyi-15.

Amamodeli ajwayelekile anezilungiselelo ezimbalwa eziguquguqukayo. Imvamisa bahlinzeka ngokugqugquzela izinzwa imizuzwana engama-30 njalo ngemizuzu emi-5.

Abantu banikezwa futhi uzibuthe ophathwa ngesandla, imvamisa ngendlela yesongo. Ingashayelwa ngapha nangapha kwedivayisi ukuze inikeze ukukhuthazeka okwengeziwe uma bezwa ukuqubuka kuza.

Amadivayisi amasha we-VNS ngokuvamile aqukethe izici zokuzivumelanisa nezimo eziphendula isilinganiso senhliziyo yakho. Bangavumela ukwenza ngezifiso okwengeziwe mayelana nokuthi kukhuthazwa okungakanani okuhlinzekwa phakathi nosuku. Izinhlobo zamuva nazo zingasho ukuthi ulele phansi noma cha ngemuva kokuquleka.

Ukwenza kusebenze

Idivayisi ye-VNS ivame ukwenziwa isebenze lapho kuqokwa udokotela emasontweni ambalwa ngemuva kwenqubo yokufakelwa. Isazi sakho sezinzwa sizohlela izilungiselelo ngokuya ngezidingo zakho usebenzisa ikhompyutha ephathekayo ne-wand yohlelo.

Imvamisa inani lokukhuthaza olitholayo lizosethwa ezingeni eliphansi ekuqaleni. Ngemuva kwalokho kuzokwandiswa kancane kancane ngokuya ngokuthi umzimba wakho uphendula kanjani.

Ubani

I-VNS ijwayele ukusetshenziselwa abantu abangakwazanga ukulawula ukuqubuka kwabo ngemuva kokuzama imishanguzo emibili noma ngaphezulu eyahlukene yesithuthwane futhi abangakwazi ukuhlinzwa isithuthwane. I-VNS ayisebenzi ekwelapheni ukuquleka okungabangelwa isithuthwane.

Uma njengamanje uthola ezinye izinhlobo zokugqugquzelwa kobuchopho, unenkinga yokungajwayelekile yenhliziyo noma yamaphaphu, noma unezilonda, ukuphelelwa amandla, noma ukuphefumula ubuthongo, kungenzeka ungafaneleki ukwelashwa kwe-VNS.

Izingozi nemiphumela engemihle

Yize ingozi yokubhekana nezinkinga kusuka ekuhlinzweni kwe-VNS ingavamile, ungahle uzwe ubuhlungu kanye nokulimala kusayithi lakho lokusika. Kungenzeka futhi ukuthi ungakhubazeka ngezwi. Lokhu kungokwesikhashana ezimweni eziningi kepha kwesinye isikhathi kungaba unomphela.

Imiphumela emibi ejwayelekile ye-VNS ngemuva kokuhlinzwa ingafaka:

• inkinga yokugwinya
• ubuhlungu bomphimbo
• ikhanda
• ukukhwehlela
• izinkinga zokuphefumula
• isikhumba esidonsayo
• isicanucanu
• ukuqwasha
• izwi elihoshozelayo

Le miphumela emibi ivame ukulawuleka, futhi ingahle yehle ngokuhamba kwesikhathi noma ngokulungiswa kudivayisi yakho.

Uma usebenzisa ukwelashwa kwe-VNS futhi udinga ukuba ne-MRI, qiniseka ukwazisa ochwepheshe abenza ukuskena mayelana nedivayisi yakho.

Ezimweni ezithile, amandla kazibuthe avela ku-MRI angadala ukuthi okuholayo kudivayisi yakho kushise kakhulu futhi kusishise isikhumba sakho.

Ukuhlolwa okulandela ukuhlinzwa

Ngemuva kokuhlinzwa kwe-VNS, kubalulekile ukuthi uhlale phansi nethimba lakho lezokwelapha nixoxe ngokuthi uzodinga kangaki ukuhlela ukuvakashelwa ukuqapha ukusebenza kwedivayisi yakho. Kungumqondo omuhle ukuletha umngane oseduze noma ilungu lomndeni ekuhloleni kwakho kwe-VNS ukuze uthole ukusekelwa.

Umbono wesikhathi eside

Yize ukwelashwa kwe-VNS kungeke kulaphe isithuthwane, kungehlisa inani lokuquleka onakho kuze kufike kumaphesenti angama-50. Kungasiza futhi ukunciphisa isikhathi esikuthathayo ukuthi ululame ekuthatheni, futhi kungasiza ekwelapheni ukudangala futhi kuthuthukise umqondo wakho wenhlalakahle.

I-VNS ayisebenzi kuwo wonke umuntu, futhi ayihloselwe ukufaka esikhundleni imishanguzo efana nemithi nokuhlinzwa. Uma ungaboni ukuthuthuka okuphawuleka kubuningi nobukhulu bokuquleka kwakho ngemuva kweminyaka emibili, wena nodokotela wakho kufanele nixoxe ngokuthi kungenzeka yini ukuthi nicishe idivayisi noma niyisuse.

Ukuthatha

Uma ubulokhu ufuna inketho engeyona eyezidakamizwa yokugcwalisa imishanguzo yakho yamanje yesithuthwane, i-VNS ingakulungela. Khuluma nodokotela wakho mayelana nokuthi uyayifanelekela yini inqubo, nokuthi ngabe ukwelashwa kwe-VNS kumbozwe ngaphansi kohlelo lwakho lomshuwalense wezempilo.
