    [0001] TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to the field of the deep stimulation of the brain of a human being or of an animal, and more particularly to the field of deep stimulation. brain by optical irradiation. Deep brain stimulation (or "deep brain stimulation" in English) is a therapeutic technique involving the implantation of a device for stimulating specific parts of the brain. It is thus possible to improve various disorders, for example linked to depression, Alzheimer's disease or Parkinson's disease. The deep optical irradiation of the brain implemented by the invention may in particular allow the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease.
    [0002] The invention thus proposes an implantable optical stimulation or illumination device for the brain of a human or animal, as well as an optical stimulation method implemented by means of such an implantable device and a method implantation of such an implantable device. STATE OF THE PRIOR ART Solutions have already been proposed in the prior art for the treatment of certain neuronal dysfunctions, including Parkinson's disease, by optical irradiation of the brain with a light source emitting in the infrared range ( IR). The patent application US 2009/0118800 A1 describes the use of an implantable device in the brain for optically irradiating biomolecular structures of the brain, and in particular target cells having photosensitive proteins.
    [0003] Such solutions can implement the introduction of an optical fiber into the brain, through which infrared light is guided to the brain from a light source external to the brain. However, the introduction of an optical fiber in the brain of a human being or animal has many disadvantages and difficulties. Indeed, the insertion of the optical fiber into the brain must be able to be performed in optimal safety conditions for the patient. Optical fibers are generally not biocompatible, it is necessary to have a means of sterile and waterproof protection. In addition, the implantation depth of the optical fiber, i.e., the length of the optical fiber between the skull and the distal end of the optical fiber, is a variable parameter that depends on the patient to be treated. . However, the connection of the proximal end of the optical fiber to the light source requires a very precise optical assembly that can not be made to measure at the time of the surgical procedure for the case where the planned implantation length of the optical fiber would not be suitable for the patient. DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION The object of the invention is to remedy at least partially the needs mentioned above and the drawbacks relating to the embodiments of the prior art. The object of the invention is in particular to propose a new type of implantable device for deep optical stimulation for the implantation of a light guide in the brain, in particular an optical fiber, the implantation being carried out in a biocompatible manner while minimizing the risks. related to the use of the device, including the risk of injury and / or infection of the body of an individual. The invention thus has, according to one of its aspects, an implantable optical stimulation device for the brain of a human or animal, characterized in that it comprises a biocompatible multichannel (or multichannel) catheter , comprising a plurality of channels extending substantially parallel to each other with respect to a longitudinal axis of the multi-channel catheter, the multiple channel catheter having a proximal end and a distal end, preferably closed, and in that it further comprises: - a light guide, extending inside a channel of the multichannel catheter, for optical stimulation of the brain, having a proximal end 5 for receiving the light emitted by a light source and a distal end for delivering this light to the interior of the brain, the multi-channel catheter serving as a total wrapping sheath of the light guide, A functional probe, which may be a monitoring probe, extends into another channel of the multichannel catheter, for measuring the injected light into the environment at the distal end of the guideway. light, and / or an element acting on the shape of said multi-channel catheter. Thanks to the invention, the implantation of a light guide, in particular an optical fiber, into the brain of a human or animal can be carried out simply, localized and secured using the implantable device. The implantable device 15 can make it possible to achieve illumination of the human or animal brain, for example in the near infrared, while minimizing the medical risks during implantation and ensuring the aesthetic and physical comfort of the individual, the guide of light forming a barrier to physiological liquids. It can be used for illumination of brain tissue with different objectives depending on the intended application, such as neuroprotection, opto-genetics, stimulation, among others. By "element acting on the shape of said multi-channel catheter" is meant for example a rigid element, or stiffener, adapted to be introduced into said other channel, so as to induce stiffening of the channel. It may also be an element disposed in said other channel, so as to allow said multi-channel catheter to be deformed around an equilibrium position, then to regain said equilibrium position, said position balancing being, for example, curved. The implantable device according to the invention may further comprise one or more of the following characteristics taken separately or in any possible technical combinations.
    [0004] Advantageously, the multi-channel catheter is flexible so that it allows, among other things, to avoid any trauma to the tissues of the individual. The multi-channel catheter can thus advantageously be folded as needed, in particular curved. It can for example be made of silicone or polyurethane (PU). It can be transparent. The multi-channel catheter is advantageously adapted for implantation in the third ventricle through one of the lateral ventricles. In addition, the multi-channel catheter can be thin, especially in a cylindrical shape with a diameter of between 1 to 2.2 mm. In particular, the fineness of the multi-channel catheter is sufficient to allow it to be inserted into the third ventricle or into contact with any other region of the brain that is surgically accessible through a trephination operation of a few millimeters. By "trepanning operation", reference is made to the current operation performed by a neurosurgeon during the implantation of a ventricular catheter, for example for the treatment of hydrocephalus or the placement of stimulation electrodes. deep for the treatment of tremors in the case of Parkinson's disease. As previously indicated, the multi-channel catheter forms a total wrapping sheath of the light guide. In other words, the light guide can be completely overmolded by the multi-channel catheter (complete coating), so that it is possible to avoid any leakage of body fluids, especially blood. Preferably, the multi-channel catheter of the implantable device according to the invention may be preformed to conform to the anatomy of the individual, in particular to the anatomy of the ventricles.
    [0005] The light guide is in particular constituted by a flexible longitudinal light guide, in particular an optical fiber. Furthermore, advantageously, the functional element, including the monitoring probe (or "monitoring" in English), ensures the proper operation of the device and control the dose of light applied to the individual. The measurement of the light injected into the ambient medium makes it possible to know the measurement of the light injected into the tissues of the individual. In addition, the distal end of the multichannel catheter may have an oblong shape.
    [0006] Advantageously, an oblong shape of the distal end of the multi-channel catheter may facilitate penetration into the tissues of the individual. The distal end of the multi-channel catheter may further include a light diffusing element, the light diffusing element being in particular located at the distal end of the light guide within the channel in which extends the light guide. The diffuser element can be adapted in length to the surface to be treated of the brain by optical stimulation. The diffuser element may in particular extend inside the multi-channel catheter, and in particular inside the channel of the multi-channel catheter in which the light guide is located, over a length of between 2 and 20 μm. mm, for example of the order of 10 mm, depending on the intended application. It is thus possible to obtain a diffusing linear source making it possible to improve the uniformity of illumination of a large surface of the brain, particularly the third ventricle and the compact dark substance of the brain (SNc or "Substancia Nigra pars compacta" ).
    [0007] Advantageously, the presence of this diffuser element makes it possible to avoid the lens effect at the end of a multi-channel catheter that is preferentially transparent. In particular, the diffuser element makes it possible to limit the risks of excessively high power density. The diffuser element may in particular comprise a charge of titanium dioxide (T'Oz).
    [0008] The diffuser element may be able to scatter radiation from the light guide before it reaches the tissues / cells of the brain. It is thus possible to use a light source generating a relatively high density of surface power, without risking damage to the tissues / cells of the brain. In addition, the light diffusing element may include a fluorophore for fluorescence monitoring.
    [0009] Such a fluorophore may for example be constituted by green indocyanine pigment (or alternatively ICG for "IndoCyanine Green" in English), absorption wavelengths between 600 and 900 nm and wavelengths of 600.degree. emission between 750 and 950 nm.
    [0010] In addition, the multi-channel catheter may include a fluidic channel for injecting and / or withdrawing fluids, particularly for the injection of contrast material during the surgical phase. The presence of such a fluidic channel can facilitate visualization of the ventricles without the need for another trepanation.
    [0011] Such a fluidic channel may also allow the injection of any other product necessary for the treatment of the individual. The distal end of such a fluidic channel is advantageously provided with a hole or a slot to allow the injection and / or removal of liquids. In addition, the multi-channel catheter may have at least one channel for use of a stiffener during placement of the multi-channel catheter. The multi-channel catheter may in particular comprise at least one channel for using a localized stiffener of superelastic material or the use of the ability of a thermoplastic waveguide to be thermoformed to the finished device.
    [0012] Such a stiffener may especially be Nitinol from 250 μm to 500 μm. It can be in the form of a shape memory rod. In addition, the multi-channel catheter may include a channel equipped with a radiopaque marker for post-surgical control. The presence of such a radiopaque marker is desirably required to facilitate control of the proper positioning of the multi-channel catheter. Such a radiopaque marker may for example comprise a border of a barium sulfate charge (BaSO4). Such a radiopaque border, non-transparent, may be interrupted at the level of the diffuser if it is not directional.
    [0013] The multi-channel catheter may also include at least one conductive electrode passageway for electrical stimulation of the brain at the distal end of the multichannel catheter. The multi-channel catheter may also include another passageway of another lightguide for light recovery during monitoring performed through the functional element. On the other hand, the multi-channel catheter may include anti-crush and anti-fold protection means, the multi-channel catheter including at least one bend portion and the anti-crush protection means and anti-bending being located at said at least one bent portion. Advantageously, the anti-crushing and antiplying protection means makes it possible to prevent the rupture of the light guide during the surgical procedure. It can be integrated inside the multi-channel catheter or located externally to it and secured through fasteners.
    [0014] The light guide may be made of different transparent materials of suitable index, such as silica, silicone or thermoplastic, such as polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA). It can then comprise at least one bent portion shaped by localized heating. Such shaping may be performed during surgery depending on the angle desired by the surgeon through tooling locally heating the light guide through the multi-channel catheter, in particular made of silicone. A molding temperature of about 70 ° C. can be used, much lower than the silicone degradation temperatures, greater than 200 ° C. The implantable device according to the invention may also comprise a plurality of connector elements at the proximal end of the multi-channel catheter, and in particular at least one optical connector element for connecting at least one guide light at the light source, a fluidic connector element for the injection of products during the surgical phase, in particular a contrast medium, and / or for connection to an implantable delivery pump for the use of photosensitive products , an electrical connection element for the application of an electric field in the illuminated area and / or the realization of an electrical measurement. In addition, the multi-channel catheter may comprise a metallized coating, particularly on the wall of at least one of its channels, and in particular the channel 5 comprising the light guide, to promote a light emission angle and / or to carry out a selective diffusion. The implantable device according to the invention may also include a light source, emitting especially in the infrared range, connected to at least the proximal end of the light guide.
    [0015] The light source may be integrated into a neurostimulator, including a deep brain stimulation type (DBS) neurostimulator. Alternatively, the light source may be independent of a neurostimulator. In other words, the light source may be deported from a neurostimulator. Advantageously, the use of a remote light source may allow the use of commercial neurostimulators or even use on individuals already equipped with DBS type probes. This solution may in particular allow neuronal protection to stop neuronal degeneration simultaneously with electrical deep stimulation to compensate for lack of dopamine in individuals with advanced disease phase. The light source may be located inside a hermetically sealed housing, biocompatible and coupled to at least one light guide, in particular via a removable connector. The housing may include an optical detector for monitoring light injection coupled to the functional element and electronic wireless communication means with a remote terminal for control of the device. Furthermore, the implantable device according to the invention may further comprise a power source, in particular continuous, modulated or pulse, for example a rechargeable battery or a battery, for powering the light source.
    [0016] In addition, the implantable device according to the invention can also be remotely powered by means of an external supply antenna. The light source may also comprise a sensor and a dichroic mirror, located between the sensor and the diffuser element, the sensor allowing the measurement of the fluorescence-generated return wavelengths of the diffuser element. The light source can in particular emit in the near-infrared range. The light source may in particular be arranged so that it emits a light of wavelength preferably between 650 nm and 950 nm, for example of the order of 670 nm.
    [0017] The light source may be intended to be implanted subcutaneously, that is to say under the scalp. The light source may be constituted by any light source capable of emitting in the infrared, such as a laser diode, a light-emitting diode (or LED for "Light-Emitting Diode" in English) or a cavity-type laser diode vertical emitting 15 by the surface (or VCSEL diode for "Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser in English), for example. Preferably, the light source comprises a laser diode. The invention further relates, in another of its aspects, to a process for optically stimulating the brain of a human or animal being implemented by means of an implantable device as defined above, in which: ) light is emitted in the field of the infrared, and in particular the near infrared, (b) this light is transmitted at a proximal end of a light guide implanted in the brain of the human or animal body, (c) This light is guided in the light guide to a distal end of the light guide so that this light radiates the interior of the brain from its distal end. The invention further relates, in another of its aspects, to a method of implanting an implantable device as defined above for the optical stimulation of the brain of a human or animal, in which a 3031041 10 3 trephination operation for implantation of the multi-channel catheter into the brain of humans or animals. The optical stimulation method and / or the implantation method according to the invention may also comprise at least one of the following steps: the distal end of the light guide is implanted near the compact dark substance of the brain (SNc or "Substancia Nigra pars compacta"), - the distal end of the light guide is implanted in the third ventricle of the brain, which is located close to the compact dark substance, - the distal end of the light guide is implanted near or in contact with the floor of the third ventricle of the brain. The optical stimulation method and the implantation method according to the invention may comprise any of the previously mentioned characteristics, taken alone or in any technically possible combination with other characteristics.
    [0018] BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The invention will be better understood on reading the detailed description which follows, non-limiting examples of implementation thereof, and the examination of the figures, schematic and partial. of the accompanying drawings, in which: - Figure 1 partially illustrates an embodiment of an implantable device 20 according to the invention - Figure 2 partially illustrates, in section and in perspective, an embodiment of a multi-channel catheter of another implantable device according to the invention, and - Figures 3 and 4 show two other examples of implantable devices according to the invention, respectively comprising a light source integrated with a neurostimulator and a source. deported light compared to a neurostimulator. In all of these figures, identical references may designate identical or similar elements.
    [0019] In addition, the different parts shown in the figures are not necessarily in a uniform scale, to make the figures more readable. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PARTICULAR EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1 partially illustrates an exemplary implantable device 10 according to the invention for the optical stimulation of the brain of a human or animal body. The implantable device 10 comprises a multi-channel catheter 1 in the form of a tube, provided in this example with two angled portions 8a and 8b, of a proximal end 1a, intended to be connected to a light source 4 (visible Figures 3 and 4) and possibly other optical and / or electronic systems, and a distal end 1b where a light guide 3 emits illumination I to the human or animal brain. The multi-channel catheter 1 is preferably made of silicone or polyurethane (PU), and is in a transparent form. It is in a cylindrical shape with a diameter of between 1 to 2.2 mm, and its fineness is such that it allows its insertion into the third ventricle or in contact with any other area of the brain accessible surgically through a surgical procedure. trepanning of a few millimeters. In addition, to facilitate tissue ingrowth, the distal end 1b of the multi-channel catheter 1 may be oblong in shape, particularly for catheters larger than 1.3 mm in diameter. The multi-channel catheter 1 is advantageously biocompatible, and comprises a plurality of channels 2a-2i (visible in FIG. 2) which extend parallel to one another with respect to the longitudinal axis X of the catheter 1. In other words, on each rectilinear portion of the multi-channel catheter 1, the channels 2a-2i are parallel to each other. The light guide 3, in particular in the form of an optical fiber or waveguide with a strong index difference injected into the channel, extends into a first channel 2b of the catheter 1.11, which allows the optical stimulation of the human or animal brain. .
    [0020] The light guide 3 has a proximal end 3a which receives the light emitted by the light source 4 and a distal end 3b to deliver this light into the brain in the form of illumination I. Advantageously the multi-channel catheter 1 forms a total protective coating of the light guide 3. Furthermore, the distal end 3b of the light guide 3 has a light diffusing element 6. This diffuser element 6 extends for example inside the first channel 2b of the multi-channel catheter 1 in which the light guide 3 is located over a length of the order of 10 mm. It is thus possible to obtain a diffusing linear source to improve the uniformity of illumination of a large area of the brain, and also to avoid the multi-channel catheter end lens effect. 6 in particular comprises a charge of titanium dioxide (T, O 2). 4. In addition, this diffuser element 6 may comprise a fluorophore for fluorescence monitoring, constituted for example by the green indocyanine pigment (or ICG for "IndoCyanine Green" in English). Moreover, in FIG. 1, it can also be seen that the implantable device 1 may comprise a plurality of connection elements 9a, 9b at the proximal end 1a of the multi-channel catheter 1.
    [0021] In particular, the multi-channel catheter 1 comprises an optical connector element 9a for connecting the light guide 3 to the light source 4. In addition, the multi-channel catheter 1 also comprises another optical connector element 9b which allows the connection of another light guide 11, provided with a proximal end 11a and a distal end 11b, to the light source 4. The two optical connection elements or bases 9a and 9b can be integrated if necessary in a single connection module compatible with a suitable optical transmission / reception module. Although not shown, the implantable device 10 may also include a fluidic connector element for the injection of products during the surgical phase, in particular a contrast medium, and / or for connection to a delivery pump. implantable for the use of photosensitive products, an electrical connection element for the application of an electric field in the illuminated area and / or the realization of an electrical measurement. On the other hand, the first bent portion 8a can be stiffened by means of a shape memory rod made of super-elastic material 12, corresponding, for example, to 250 μm Nitinol at 500 μm. In addition, the second bent portion 8b includes an anti-crushing and anti-folding protection means 7 so as to prevent the rupture of the light guides 3 and 11 during the surgical procedure. This anti-crushing device may for example be made of spiral wire with implantable stainless steel material. The length of the anti-crush zone can be adapted to the length implanted in the brain so as to protect the elbow at 90 ° at the outlet of the cranial box. This protection means 7 can be integrated inside the multi-channel catheter 1 or located externally thereto and secured by means of fasteners.
    [0022] FIG. 2 also illustrates, in section and in perspective, an exemplary embodiment of a multi-channel catheter 1 of another implantable device 10 according to the invention. In this example, it is found that the multi-channel catheter 1 has nine parallel channels therebetween, including a first channel 2b in which the light guide 3 is located. In addition, the multi-channel catheter 1 also has a central channel 2a around which are distributed the other eight side channels 2b-2i. The central channel 2a then comprises, according to the invention, a monitoring probe 5, which extends inside the central channel 2a, for measuring the light injected into the ambient medium at the end. 3. Advantageously, the monitoring probe (or "monitoring" in English) ensures the proper operation of the device 10 and control the dose of light applied to the individual. The measurement of the light injected into the environment makes it possible to know the measurement of the light injected into the tissues of the individual.
    [0023] Moreover, as can be seen in FIG. 2, the multi-channel catheter 1 also comprises a second fluidic channel for the injection and / or sampling of liquids, and in particular for the injection of a product of contrast during the surgical phase, the distal end of which is pierced to allow the injection and / or collection of liquids. In addition, the multi-channel catheter 1 also has two channels 2d and 2h for the use of a stiffener during the placement of the multi-channel catheter 1. Such a stiffener is in particular a localized stiffener superelastic material of the type Nitinol at 250 μm.
    [0024] In order to facilitate the control of the correct positioning of the multi-channel catheter 1, it also includes a 2f channel equipped with a radiopaque marker for post-surgical control. This radiopaque marker may for example comprise a border of a barium sulfate charge (BaSO4). In addition, the multi-channel catheter 1 has two conductive electrode passage channels 2g and 2i for electrical stimulation of the brain at the distal end 1b of the multi-channel catheter 1. It also includes a channel 2c of passage of another light guide 11 for the recovery of light during the monitoring carried out by means of the surveillance probe 5. Indeed, as shown diagrammatically in FIG. 1, when the first light guide 3 sends light light according to the arrow F1 in the direction of the diffuser element 6 for illumination I of the brain, a recovered portion R may be directed towards the second light guide 11 which returns it along the arrow F2 to the light source 4. By Moreover, as indicated above, the implantable device 10 advantageously comprises a light source 4, emitting in the infrared range, connected to the proximal ends 3a and 11a. es first 3 and second 11 light guides. FIGS. 3 and 4 thus represent two other examples of implantable devices 10 in accordance with the invention, respectively comprising a light source 4 integrated into an N neurostimulator and a remote light source 4 relative to an N neurostimulator. In the example of FIG. 3, the light source 4 is integrated into the neurostimulator N, the latter being in particular of the deep brain stimulation type (DBS). On the other hand, in the example of FIG. 4, the light source 4 is independent of the neurostimulator N, that is to say that it is deported from the neurostimulator N. Advantageously, the use of a source Remote light 4 may allow the use of commercial neurostimulators or even use on individuals already equipped with DBS type probes. Moreover, the light source 4, in the example of FIG. 4, is situated inside a hermetically sealed, biocompatible housing 13 and coupled to at least one light guide 3, in particular by way of a removable connector.
    [0025] This housing 13 may comprise an optical detector for monitoring the injection of light coupled to the surveillance probe 5 and electronic means of wireless communication with a remote terminal for the control of the device 1. The implantable device according to the invention Advantageously, the invention can achieve deep brain illumination on a human or animal, while being able to be associated with other modes of stimulation, such as electrical stimulation or product injection stimulation. Of course, the invention is not limited to the embodiments which have just been described. Various modifications may be made by the skilled person.
    [0026] The phrase "having one" should be understood as being synonymous with "having at least one", unless the opposite is specified.
