US Patent:

20120109257, May 3, 2012

Filed:

Sep 24, 2011

Appl. No.:

13/244415

Inventors:

Peter J. Yoo - Burbank CA, US
Michael A. Moffitt - Valencia CA, US
Kerry Bradley - Glendale CA, US

Assignee:

BOSTON SCIENTIFIC NEUROMODULATION CORPORATION - Valencia CA

International Classification:

A61N 1/372

US Classification:

607 59

Abstract:

A system for a tissue stimulator coupled to an array of electrodes. The system comprises a user-controlled input device configured for generating control signals, and at least one processor configured for generating a plurality of stimulation parameter sets in response to the control signals that, when applied to the electrodes, will shift electrical current between electrodes to modify a region of tissue activation. The processor(s) is further configured for computing an estimate of the region of tissue activation, and for generating display signals capable of prompting a monitor to display an animated graphical representation of the computed estimate of the region of tissue activation.

Appl. No.:

17/742244

Inventors:

- Valencia CA, US
Peter J. Yoo - Burbank CA, US
Darragh McDermott - Los Angeles CA, US

International Classification:

A61N 1/375

Abstract:

A connector and lead (or other elongated body) can produce a tactile sensation that indicates alignment between connector contacts of the connector and the terminals on the lead (or other elongated body). For example, a terminal or retention sleeve of the lead (or other elongated body) may include an indented circumferential groove that interacts with a connector contact or retention contact of the connector to produce the tactile sensation. As another example, one or more terminals or spacers may have a larger diameter than adjacent spacers or terminals to interact with a connector contact to produce the tactile sensation.

International Classification:

A61N 1/372
A61N 1/02
A61N 1/05

Abstract:

Methods and systems can facilitate visualizing cathodic and anodic stimulation separately. Alternately, the methods and systems may separately visualize stimulation of different neural elements, such as nerve fibers and neural cells. These methods and systems can further facilitate programming an electrical stimulation system for stimulating patient tissue.

International Classification:

A61N 1/36
A61N 1/05

Abstract:

A system for adjusting neuromodulation parameters used by a neuromodulator operably connected to a plurality of electrodes to modulate a neural target, may comprise a translation trigger detector configured to determine that a translation trigger has occurred, a first parameter setting storage configured to store first parameter settings for use by the neuromodulator to modulate the neural target, and a neuromodulation parameter translator. The neuromodulation parameter translator may be operably connected to the translation trigger detector to automatically translate the first parameter settings into a second parameter settings in response to determining the translation trigger has occurred, and replace the first parameter settings with the second parameter settings, or store the second parameter settings in a second parameter setting storage. Automatically translating may include either automatically translating from cathodic parameter settings to anodic parameter settings, or automatically translating from anodic parameter settings to cathodic parameter settings.

International Classification:

A61N 1/36
G16H 50/50
A61N 1/372

Abstract:

A computer implemented system and method facilitates a cycle of generation, sharing, and refinement of volumes related to stimulation of anatomical tissue, such as brain or spinal cord stimulation. Such volumes can include target stimulation volumes, side effect volumes, and volumes of estimated activation. A computer system and method also facilitates analysis of groups of volumes, including analysis of differences and/or commonalities between different groups of volumes.
