Abstract: Devices, systems, and techniques include determining spatial relationships between electrodes implanted within a patient. In one example, a medical device delivers, via a first electrode, an electrical stimulus and senses, for each other electrode, a respective electrical signal indicative of the electrical stimulus. The medical device determines, for each other electrode, a respective value for each respective electrical signal. The medical device determines, based on the respective values for each respective electrical signal and values of tissue conductivity of tissues of the patient interposed between the first electrode and the other electrodes, spatial relationships between the first electrode and each other electrode of the plurality of electrodes.

Abstract: Examples of implantable medical leads or implantable medical systems with implantable medical leads to be anchored to a sacrum are disclosed. The implantable medical leads include a lead body having a distal portion. A fixation mechanism is coupled to the distal portion. An electrode array is mechanically coupled to the fixation mechanism. In one example, the electrode array is directly coupled to the fixation mechanism. The electrode array is electrically coupled to the lead body and configured to generate a stimulation field. The fixation mechanism is configured to anchor the implantable medical lead to a sacrum and effect the stimulation field in a foramen of the sacrum.

Abstract: The disclosure describes example devices, systems, and techniques for delivering electrical stimulation to a patient. In some examples, an IMD includes a housing having a main portion and projection extending from the main portion. The projection of the housing may carry an electrode. Stimulation circuitry may be disposed within the main portion of the housing where the stimulation circuitry may generate electrical stimulation deliverable via the electrode. Processing circuitry may be disposed within the main portion of the housing where the processing circuitry may control the stimulation circuitry to generate the electrical stimulation.
