Abstract: In one embodiment, a system for stimulating the dorsal root ganglion of a patient comprises an elongate flexible implantable stimulation lead adapted to apply the stimulation pulses to the dorsal root ganglion of the patient, wherein the distal end comprises at least one electrode. A first segment and a second segment of the anchor are configured to transition between a collapsed configuration and deployed configuration. A central channel in the first segment and the second segment allows the anchor to be advanced along the stimulation lead from a proximal end toward the distal end while in the collapsed configuration. The central channel of each segment grips onto the stimulation lead in the deployed configuration so that the segment does not move from a deployed position on the stimulation lead. The first segment and the second segment may be deployed on opposite sides of foraminal ligament to anchor the stimulation lead.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method of implanting a stimulation lead to stimulate a dorsal root ganglion (DRG) of a patient, comprises: placing a distal portion of the stimulation lead within an implant tool; accessing the epidural space of the patient with the distal end of the implant tool; contacting a surface of a pedicle of the patient with a distal tip of the Implant tool above a foramen leading to a target DRG; after contacting the surface of the pedicle with the distal tip, advancing the stimulation lead from a side port of the implant tool, wherein the side port is located proximal to the distal tip of the implant tool; advancing the stimulation lead through the foramen to position one or more electrodes of the stimulation lead adjacent to the target DRG; and providing electrical stimulation to the target DRG to stimulate the target DRG using one or more electrodes of the stimulation lead.
