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: 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: Closed loop control of electrical stimulation therapy by measuring a neuromuscular response to determine that the electrical stimulation therapy is adequately stimulating the target nerve. In some examples, a system using the techniques of this disclosure may measure a reflex response, e.g., using electromyography (EMG), which measures muscle response or electrical activity in response to a nerve’s stimulation of the muscle. In some examples, the techniques of this disclosure may measure an H-reflex, such as an evoked motor response that occurs caused by a first afferent stimulation, through a signal synapse, and an efferent alpha-motor neuron excitation.
