Cient\u00edficos cubanos desarrollaron un avanzado dispositivo de estimulaci\u00f3n el\u00e9ctrica transcut\u00e1nea del nervio vago, dise\u00f1ado para tratar a pacientes con epilepsia que no responden a los tratamientos farmacol\u00f3gicos tradicionales.<\/p>\n

El ambicioso proyecto est\u00e1 liderado por el Centro de Neurociencias de Cuba (Cneuro), el Instituto de Neurolog\u00eda y Neurocirug\u00eda, y la Facultad de Ingenier\u00eda Mec\u00e1nica de la Universidad Tecnol\u00f3gica de La Habana (Cujae).<\/p>\n

El equipo, denominado Estep, es un dispositivo port\u00e1til y f\u00e1cil de usar que funciona con bater\u00edas y est\u00e1 destinado al uso personalizado.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Seg\u00fan un reporte del diario estatal Granma, en 2023 Estep recibi\u00f3 su registro m\u00e9dico por parte del Centro para el Control Estatal de Medicamentos, Equipos y Dispositivos M\u00e9dicos al demostrar una significativa reducci\u00f3n en la frecuencia de las crisis epil\u00e9pticas en el 83,33% de los pacientes durante los ensayos cl\u00ednicos.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Junto a su efectividad en el tratamiento de la epilepsia, el dispositivo Estep tambi\u00e9n muestra potencial en el manejo de otras afecciones como la migra\u00f1a, el insomnio, la depresi\u00f3n, los trastornos del aprendizaje y la recuperaci\u00f3n post-accidente cerebrovascular.<\/p>\n

Su uso es sencillo y puede ser aplicado por el propio paciente en casa, luego de recibir un breve entrenamiento por parte de especialistas, ya que se activa con solo presionar un bot\u00f3n.<\/p>\n

El doctor Mitchell Vald\u00e9s Sosa, director general de Cneuro, explic\u00f3 al citado medio que la epilepsia afecta a entre 280 y 300 personas por cada mil habitantes en Cuba. A nivel mundial, se estima que alrededor del 30% de los pacientes con epilepsia no mejoran con medicamentos, lo que hace necesario recurrir a tratamientos alternativos.<\/p>\n

Vald\u00e9s Sosa agreg\u00f3 que la estimulaci\u00f3n del nervio vago, espec\u00edficamente en su rama auricular izquierda, es una alternativa que ha ganado popularidad a nivel internacional para el tratamiento de la epilepsia resistente a f\u00e1rmacos. La t\u00e9cnica, adem\u00e1s, es menos invasiva y m\u00e1s accesible econ\u00f3micamente en comparaci\u00f3n con otras opciones como la neurocirug\u00eda.<\/p>\n

Actualmente, Estep est\u00e1 siendo utilizado por 16 pacientes, en su mayor\u00eda participantes de un ensayo cl\u00ednico inicial, y ya se ha iniciado la producci\u00f3n de 140 unidades adicionales, una parte de las cuales ser\u00e1 utilizada en un nuevo ensayo con pacientes pedi\u00e1tricos. Tambi\u00e9n se espera que el dispositivo se introduzca en el Sistema Nacional de Salud y se comercialice en mercados internacionales.<\/p>\n

Por su parte, el doctor Ren\u00e9 Iv\u00e1n Gonz\u00e1lez Fern\u00e1ndez, jefe del grupo de Neuroestimulaci\u00f3n del Cneuro y l\u00edder del proyecto Estep, subray\u00f3 que, de contar con el financiamiento necesario, se podr\u00edan fabricar m\u00e1s unidades para satisfacer la creciente demanda tanto en Cuba como en el extranjero y que el su centro garantiza tanto la fabricaci\u00f3n el mantenimiento del equipo durante todo su ciclo de vida.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
