摘要:
Methods of facilitating stimulation of a stimulation site within a patient include implanting a distal portion of a first stimulating member such that the distal portion of the first stimulating member is in communication with a first stimulation site located within a patient, securing the distal portion of the first stimulating member at a first securing site with a first securing device positioned proximal to the first stimulation site, forming a first loop of at least 360 degrees with a portion of the first stimulating member proximal to the first securing device, securing the first loop with a second securing device at a second securing site having a position that is greater than or equal to substantially 180 degrees but less than or equal to substantially 315 degrees along the first loop from the first securing site, and positioning the second securing device and a stimulator to be coupled to a proximal end of the first stimulating member to maintain a curve in the first stimulating member of at least 45 degrees between the second securing device and the stimulator.

摘要:
Methods of treating a nerve compression syndrome include applying at least one stimulus to a stimulation site within a patient with an implanted stimulator in accordance with one or more stimulation parameters. The at least one stimulus is configured to treat the nerve compression syndrome.

Methods and systems of treating a patient with medication overuse headache include providing a stimulator, configuring one or more stimulation parameters to treat medication overuse headache, programming the stimulator with the one or more stimulation parameters, generating a stimulus configured to treat the medication overuse headache with the stimulator in accordance with the one or more stimulation parameters, and applying at least one stimulus with the stimulator to a stimulation site within the patient in accordance with the one or more stimulation parameters.
