Abstract: Delivery of peripheral nerve field stimulation (PNFS) in combination with one or more other therapies is described. The other therapy delivered in combination with PNFS may be, for example, a different type of neurostimulation, such as spinal cord stimulation (SCS), or a drug. PNFS and the other therapy may be delivered simultaneously, in an alternating fashion, according to a schedule, and/or selectively, e.g., in response to a request received from a patient or clinician. A combination therapy that includes PNFS may be able to more completely address complex or multifocal pain than would be possible through delivery of either PNFS or other therapies alone. Further, the combination of PNFS with one or more other therapies may reduce the likelihood that neural accommodation will impair the perceived effectiveness PNFS or the other therapies.

Abstract: The disclosure is directed to programming implantable stimulators to deliver stimulation energy via one or more implantable leads having complex electrode array geometries. The disclosure also contemplates guided programming to select electrode combinations and parameter values to support efficacy. The techniques may be applied to a programming interface associated with a clinician programmer, a patient programmer, or both. A user interface permits a user to view electrodes from different perspectives relative to the lead. For example, the user interface provides a side view of a lead and a cross-sectional view of the lead. The user interface may include an axial control medium to select and/or view electrodes at different axial positions along the length of a lead, and a rotational control medium to select and/or view electrodes at different angular positions around a circumference of the lead.

Abstract: An introducer for a medical lead, the introducer having an arcuate component for creating an arcuate path in a patient. When used to percutaneously implant a medical device such as a medical lead with electrodes, the implanted lead has an arcuate configuration. The implanted lead can be used to at least partially encircle or bracket a region of chronic pain and provide therapeutic electrical signals to the region.

Abstract: The disclosure describes a method and system that allows a user to configure electrical stimulation therapy by defining a three-dimensional (3D) stimulation field. After a stimulation lead is implanted in a patient, a clinician manipulates the 3D stimulation field in a 3D environment to encompass desired anatomical regions of the patient. In this manner, the clinician determines which anatomical regions to stimulate, and the system generates the necessary stimulation parameters. In some cases, a lead icon representing the implanted lead is displayed to show the clinician where the lead is relative to the 3D anatomical regions of the patient.

Abstract: Implantable medical devices (IMD) configured for implantation within a recess formed in a cranium of a patient, as well as associated methods, are described. In some embodiments, the IMD includes a top external surface and another adjacent external surface, e.g., a side surface, which are oriented with respect to each other to define an acute angle. A connection module for an electrical lead or catheter may be included on the top external surface. Embodiments of the invention may facilitate implantation of an IMD within a recess formed in the cranium of a patient at a location remote to an incision made in the scalp of the patient.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing an implantable medical device having reduced MRI image distortion, includes producing an implantable medical device. The implantable medical device has a configuration that comprises a housing and one or more internal components disposed within the housing. The configuration is based upon a design process that includes creating a first prototype, determining the aggregate relative magnetic permeability of the first prototype, and modifying the design of the first prototype by at least one of (a) selecting and adding a diamagnetic shimming material to the first prototype or (b) repositioning one or more internal components of the first prototype. Modifying the design results in a modified design that is the configuration for the implantable medical device.
