    摘要: Stimulation treatments for various medical disorders, such as neurological disorders, comprise novel systems, strategies, and methods for providing TMS, electrical, magnetic, optical and other stimulation modalities. Some stimulation methods comprise varying the stimulation parameters to improve the therapeutic efficacy of stimulation, and decrease risk of habituation and side-effects such as interference with normal brain, sensory, motor, and cognitive processes. The creation, and subsequent variation, of stimulation parameters can use sensed data in order to match, adjust, or avoid matching characteristics of the stimulation therapy relative to certain endogenous brain activities. Novel methods are described for choosing, creating and subsequently stimulating with partial signals which summate to produce therapeutic vector fields having unique temporal patterns and low- or high-frequency spectral content. Improvements for the treatment of pain are disclosed.

    摘要: A microlead, of an overall diameter less than 0.5 mm, includes a plurality of at least eight conductor wires individually insulated and twisted together. Each conductor wire includes an electrically conductive core microcable and an insulation layer surrounding the core microcable and having at least one exposed area to form a detection/stimulation electrode of the microlead. The microlead further includes a central support structure shaped as a surface of revolution, which may be free of conductor wires and of central lumen. The conductor wires are configured in one or more layers of twisted peripheral conductor wires carried by the central support structure and circumferentially distributed thereon.
