Abstract: Example systems for positioning an implantable electrode may include a stimulation circuitry, a sensing circuitry, and processing circuitry. The stimulation circuitry may generate electrical stimulation deliverable to a patient. The sensing circuitry may sense electromyographic (EMG) responses. The processing circuitry may control the stimulation circuitry to deliver the electrical stimulation at a plurality of different stimulation metric levels at each of a plurality of different positions. The processing circuitry may sense, via the sensing circuitry, electromyographic (EMG) responses to the electrical stimulation. The processing circuitry may score one or more of the different positions for chronic implantation of at least one implantable electrode. The scoring may be based on a stimulation metric level greater than a predetermined metric threshold sufficient to evoke at least some of the sensed EMG responses, and a level of the at least some of the sensed EMG responses.

Abstract: An implantation system for positioning and aligning an elongate medical device in three-dimensional space. The system may include: a frame member; and first, second, and third legs each having an adjustable length. Each of the first, second, and third legs includes: a first end having a socket segment, wherein the socket segments of each of the first, second, and third legs together define a socket; and a second end connected to the frame member. A spherical member is adapted to be received within the socket such that the spherical member may rotate about a center of rotation defined by the socket, the spherical member having an inner surface defining a bore passing through the spherical member.

Abstract: In some examples, the disclosure describes devices, systems, and techniques for treating pain and/or pelvic floor dysfunction of a patient. For example, a method for treating pelvic floor dysfunction in a patient may include delivering, via a medical device, a therapy to one or more nerve fibers, wherein the therapy is configured to at least temporarily deactivate the one or more nerve fibers; and determining that the one or more nerve fibers was at least temporarily deactivated by delivering the therapy.

Abstract: In some examples, a system includes one or more ultrasound transducers, one or more temperature sensors, a user interface, and one or more processors. The one or more processors are configured to control the one or more ultrasound transducers to deliver ultrasound to a target point of tissue of a patient to heat the target point of tissue, control the one or more temperature sensors to sense a temperature of other tissue of the patient proximate to the target point of tissue a plurality of times over a period of time after the target point of tissue has been heated, and present, via the user interface, information indicating flow of heat from the target point of tissue to the other tissue over the period of time based on the sensed temperatures to facilitate characterization of at least one of anatomy or function of the tissue.
