    摘要: A physiological signal of a patient is sensed with sense electrodes symmetrically arranged relative to a stimulation electrode. In some examples, a member includes a plurality of relatively small electrodes that are configured to function as both sense and stimulation electrodes. One or more of the electrodes may be selected as stimulation electrodes and two or more different electrodes of the member may be selected as sense electrodes that are symmetrically arranged relative to the one or more selected stimulation electrodes. In some examples, a member includes a plurality of levels of segmented sense electrodes and a plurality of levels of stimulation electrodes. The levels of sense electrodes are arranged such that each level of stimulation electrodes is adjacent at least two levels of sense electrodes symmetrically arranged relative to the level of stimulation electrodes.

    摘要: Bioelectrical signals may be sensed within a brain of a patient with a plurality of sense electrode combinations. A stimulation electrode combination for delivering stimulation to the patient to manage a patient condition can be selected based on a frequency domain characteristic of the sensed bioelectrical signals. In some examples, a stimulation electrode combination is selected based on a determination of which of the sense electrodes are located closest to a target tissue site, as indicated by the one or more sense electrodes that sensed a bioelectrical brain signal with a relatively highest value of the frequency domain characteristic. In some examples, determining which of the sense electrodes are located closest to the target tissue site may include executing an algorithm using relative values of the frequency domain characteristic.

    摘要: An implantable medical lead includes a lead body having a proximal portion having a longitudinal axis and an arcuate distal body portion extending in the direction of the longitudinal axis. The arcuate distal body portion has a concave surface. The lead includes a plurality of elongate electrodes disposed at the arcuate distal end portion of the lead body along the concave surface. The electrodes extend substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the lead body.

    摘要: The invention is directed to techniques and systems in which external brain monitoring is used to facilitate implantation and configuration of an implantable medical device. The techniques may create an open loop or closed loop system in which brain signals quantify the efficacy of electrical logical stimulation (or drug therapy via an implantable drug pump) at locations outside of the brain. The techniques may be used to improve placement of leads and electrodes during an implantation procedure, and/or to select or adjust stimulation parameters either during the implantation procedure or possibly following implantation of an implantable medical device. The described techniques have applications for the alleviation of pain, but may find other applications where EEG signals can quantify the efficacy of treatment via an implantable medical device.

    摘要: A hub (200) includes a first lead receptacle having a plurality of contacts (280) for electrically coupling a lead to an implantable electrical device. The hub further contains a second lead receptacle having a plurality of contacts for electrically coupling a lead to the implantable electrical device. At least one of the plurality of contacts of the first receptacle is a contact of the second receptacle. Such a configuration may allow for the overall size of the hub to be reduced relative to a hub where each discrete contact of the hub corresponds to a discrete contact or electrical channel of the implantable electrical device.
