摘要: A method and external device for providing sub-perception stimulation to a patient via an implantable stimulator device is disclosed. Stimulation parameters for the patient are determined that provide sub-perception stimulation to address a symptom of the patient. A schedule is determined to provide scheduled boluses of stimulation, where each bolus comprises a duration during which stimulation is applied to the patient in accordance with the stimulation parameters, and where the scheduled boluses are separated by off times when no stimulation is provided to the patient. Preferably, the duration of each of the scheduled boluses is 3 minutes or longer, and the duration of each of the off times is 30 minutes or greater. Additional boluses can be provided on demand in addition to the scheduled boluses by selecting an option on the external device, although the provision of such additional boluses may be constrained by a lockout period.

摘要: An efficient nanoscale semiconducting optoelectronic system, containing a P/N acceptor donor organic hetrojunction which is optimized for neuronal stimulation—an organic electrolytic photocapacitor. The devices comprise a thin (80 nm) trilayer of metal and p-n semiconducting organic nanocrystals. When illuminated in physiological solution, these metal-semiconductor devices charge up, transducing light pulses into localized displacement currents that are strong enough to electrically stimulate neurons with safe light intensities.

摘要: An implantable medical device (IMO) includes one or more stimulation engines (SEs) and selectively connectable output switching circuitry for driving a plurality of output nodes associated with a respective plurality of electrodes of the IMO's lead system when implanted in a patient. The output switching circuitry may be configured to facilitate self-test mode (STM) functionality in the IMO (e.g., when it is in a hermetically sealed package) by using a dual mode switch in series with a stimulation engine selection switch with respect to each output node in the output switching circuitry under mode selection control.

摘要: Methods and systems for testing and treating spinal cord stimulation (SCS) patients are disclosed. Patients are eventually treated with sub-perception (paresthesia free) therapy. However, supra-perception stimulation is used during “sweet spot searching” during which active electrodes are selected for the patient. This allows sweet spot searching to occur much more quickly and without the need to wash in the various electrode combinations that are tried. After selecting electrodes using supra-perception therapy, therapy is titrated to sub-perception levels using the selected electrodes. Such sub-perception therapy has been investigated using pulses at or below 10 kHz, and it has been determined that a statistically significant correlation exists between pulse width (PW) and frequency (F) in this frequency range at which SCS patients experience significant reduction in symptoms such as back pain. Beneficially, sub-perception stimulation at such low frequencies significantly lowers power consumption in the patient's neurostimulator.

摘要: This disclosure provides an SCS system comprised of an adaptive IPG. The IPG selectively chooses certain burst pulse parameters according to a pattern of frequencies and amplitudes that are determined by a low power hardware circuit. Alternatively, the patterns of frequencies and amplitudes are dictated by a predetermined list of parameters from a table of limited length. The IPG also is capable of receiving and storing vital sign telemetry, and spinal cord position to train an adaptive neural network to produce paresthesia pulses. Training of the IPG takes place after closing. Retraining the neural network allows the system to adapt to habituation, lead migration, and physiological changes in the patient's condition to maintain efficacy of the system over time. Training the neural network is also accomplished outside the IPG by a separate processor, which serves to conserve battery power and facilitate frequent retraining.
