    摘要: Systems, devices, and techniques for adjusting electrical stimulation based on a posture state of a patient are described. For example, a system may include sensing circuitry configured to sense an ECAP signal and processing circuitry configured to control delivery of the electrical stimulation to a patient according to a first value of a stimulation parameter and determine a characteristic value of the ECAP signal. The processing circuitry may also be configured to receive, from a sensor, a posture state signal representing a posture state of the patient, determine, based on the posture state signal, a gain value for the stimulation parameter, adjust, based on the characteristic value of the ECAP signal and the gain value, the first value of the stimulation parameter to a second value of the stimulation parameter, and control delivery of the electrical stimulation according to the second value of the stimulation parameter.

    摘要: Systems, devices, and techniques for adjusting electrical stimulation based on sensed ECAP signals. For example, processing circuitry is configured to control delivery of a first train of electrical stimulation pulses at a first frequency to a first target tissue and control delivery of a second train of electrical stimulation pulses at a second frequency to a second target tissue different from the first target tissue. The processing circuitry can also receive an ECAP signal elicited by a pulse of the second train of electrical stimulation pulses, adjust, based on the ECAP signal, a first value of a parameter that at least partially defines the first tram of electrical stimulation pulses to a second value, and, responsive to adjusting the first value of the parameter to the second value, control delivery of subsequent pulses of the first tram of electrical stimulation pulses according to the second value of the parameter.

    摘要: Devices, systems, and techniques for controlling electrical stimulation therapy are described. In one example, a system may be configured to deliver electrical stimulation therapy to a patient, the electrical stimulation therapy comprising a plurality of therapy pulses at a predetermined pulse frequency over a period of time and deliver, over the period of time, a plurality of control pulses interleaved with at least some therapy pulses of the plurality of therapy pulses. The system may also be configured to sense, after one or more control pulses and prior to an immediately subsequent therapy pulse of the plurality of therapy pulses, a respective evoked compound action potential (ECAP), adjust, based on at least one respective ECAP, one or more parameter values that at least partially defines the plurality of therapy pulses, and deliver the electrical stimulation therapy to the patient according to the adjusted one or more parameter values.

    摘要: Systems, devices, and techniques for adjusting electrical stimulation based on a posture state of a patient are described. For example, processing circuitry is configured to control delivery of a first informed stimulation pulse defined by at least a first value of an informed stimulation parameter, control delivery of a control stimulation pulse to a patient, the control stimulation pulse defined by at least a first value of a control stimulation parameter, determine a characteristic value of the ECAP signal elicited from the control stimulation pulse, receive, from a sensor, a posture state signal representing a posture state of the patient, and adjust, based on the characteristic value of the ECAP signal and the posture state signal, the first value of the informed stimulation parameter to a second value of the informed stimulation parameter.

    摘要: In one example, the disclosure describes a method comprising receiving, by processing circuitry, information indicative of one or more evoked compound action potential (ECAP) signals. The one or more ECAP signals are sensed by at least one electrode carried by a medical lead. The processing circuitry determining that at least one characteristic value of the one or more ECAP signals is outside of an expected range. Responsive to determining that the at least one characteristic value of the one or more ECAP signals is outside of the expected range, the processing circuitry performs a lead integrity test for the medical lead.
