Abstract: An example method includes delivering, via an electrical stimulation device, one or more electrical stimulation signals to a patient, sensing one or more stimulation-evoked signals that are evoked by stimulation of nerves or muscles of the patient due to the delivery of the one or more electrical stimulation signals, determining a quality of the one or more stimulation-evoked signals, and outputting, based on the quality of the one or more sensed stimulation-evoked signals being below a quality threshold, one or more instructions to improve the quality of one or more subsequent stimulation-evoked signals.

Abstract: A sacral lead system including a sacral lead configured to for insertion within a sacral foramen of a patient. The sacral lead supports one or more electrodes which may be configured as one or more stimulation electrodes and/or one or more sensing electrodes. The sacral lead is configured to deliver a stimulation signal to a patient using at least one stimulation electrode and sense an evoked signal produced in response to the stimulation signal using at least one sensing electrode. The sacral lead system may be configured to position the at least one stimulation electrode and/or the at least one sensing electrode within, dorsal, or ventral to the sacral foramen. The sacral lead system may include stimulation circuitry configured to generate the stimulation signal and sensing circuitry configured to receive a signal indicative of the evoked signal.

Abstract: A system may receive first information relating to a patient captured during a baseline period that is prior to the patient receiving stimulation. The system may receive second information relating to the patient captured during an initial therapy assignment. The second information may include testing data generated by delivering stimulation during an implant procedure. The system may determine initial stimulation program settings based on the first information, the second information and population-informed information. The population-informed information may be related to other patients. The system may cause, during a training period, delivery of therapy based on the initial stimulation program settings.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are configured delivering one or more sequences of different pulse trains to a patient. For example, a system includes processing circuitry configured to control stimulation circuitry to deliver a sequence of a plurality of trains of electrical stimulation pulses, wherein each train of the plurality of trains of electrical stimulation pulses comprises respective pulses at least partially defined by a unique parameter variation pattern of a plurality of parameter variation patterns, and control the stimulation circuitry to repeatedly deliver the sequence of the plurality of trains of electrical stimulation pulses.

Abstract: An example method includes delivering one or more electrical stimulation signals to a patient, sensing a composite stimulation-evoked signal comprising a composite of signals generated by one or more signal sources in response to the one or more electrical stimulation signals, and controlling delivery of electrical stimulation therapy to the patient based on the composite stimulation-evoked signal.
