    摘要: An implantable electrical stimulation lead includes a lead body; terminals disposed along the proximal portion of the lead body; electrodes disposed along the distal portion of the lead body, the electrodes including at least one segmented electrode; and an asymmetric marker disposed along the distal portion of the lead body and including a first ring and a longitudinal band extending longitudinally from the first ring. The asymmetric marker and lead body are formed of different materials that are distinguishable from each other in the radiological images to facilitate radiological determination of the rotational orientation of the lead when implanted. The marker may also include one or more of a longitudinal extension, a second ring, and non-straight longitudinal edges. The marker may also include the longitudinal band and longitudinal extension without a ring.

    摘要: An operating room cable assembly for electrically coupling at least one implantable electrical stimulation lead to a trial stimulator includes an elongated body; a trial stimulator connector disposed at one end of the elongated body; and a lead connector disposed at another end of the elongated body. The lead connector can include one or more buttons that can be pushed to load a lead into the lead connector and released to retain the lead. Alternatively, the lead connector can include a lever that can be operated to load the lead. A further alternative is a slider with a lead engagement element that can be slid between positions allowing loading of a lead and engagement of the lead. Other alternatives include a lead connector with doors that can swing open to allow loading of a lead or a collet/sleeve that can be tightened on the lead.

    摘要: Systems and methods for providing electrostimulation to a neural target are discussed. An example system comprises an implantable stimulator and a controller. The implantable stimulator can provide burst stimulation comprising a pulse train followed by a pulse-free period. The controller can detect an indication of frequency drift of an intrinsic oscillatory neural activity, and in response to the indication of frequency drift, calibrate a burst stimulation parameter including a burst frequency or a timing for initiating the burst stimulation at a particular phase of an oscillation cycle of the intrinsic oscillatory neural activity. The controller can generate a control signal to the implantable stimulator to generate burst stimulation in accordance with the calibrated burst stimulation parameter.
