    Abstract: A lead fixation device for securing a first portion of a lead relative to a hole formed through a skull includes a skull attachment member having an upper surface and a lower surface and a bore extending through and between the upper surface and the lower surface. The lead fixation device also includes a lead compression mechanism integral with the skull attachment member and aligned with the bore of the skull attachment member. The lead compression mechanism defines a passageway through the lead fixation device, which passageway is characterized by a diameter that is defined by the lead compression mechanism. The lead compression mechanism is configured to transition the diameter from a first size to a second size greater than the first size upon insertion of an implant tool through the passageway, and from the second size to the first size upon removal of the implant tool from the passageway.

    Abstract: An implanted neurostimulation system is configured to sense episodes of electrographic events and determine durations of episodes. Durations of electrographic events sensed by the implanted neurostimulation system are mapped with seizure probability biomarkers derived from records of the electrographic events to create a mapping function. A seizure probability biomarker that has a value desired for the operation of the implanted neurostimulation system is selected. The duration mapped to the selected seizure probability biomarker is identified and programmed into a control module of the implanted neurostimulation system as a programmed parameter that triggers the operation by the implanted neurostimulation system. The process may be repeated for other operations of the implanted neurostimulation system.

    Abstract: A lead fixation accessory configured to be positioned over a skull hole and to transition between an opened state and a closed state during a lead implant procedure protects against lead migration by providing a mechanism for securing the lead in place at the skull hole while a stylet is removed from the lead. The lead fixation accessory remains in place after the implant procedure to provide chronic lead stability. A lead stabilization tool configured to access and grip a lead through a slotted cannula during the lead implant procedure also protects against lead migration by providing a mechanism for securing the lead in place at a point where the lead exits the skull hole while the slotted cannula is removed from the skull hole and peeled away from the lead.
