Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for treating chronic pain occurring secondarily to subacromial impingement syndrome in a human body. A system is provided to deliver percutaneous electrical stimulation through at least one electrode to neurological motor points of the posterior and middle deltoid muscles to mediate such pain. One-time, continued and/or periodic dosing of treatment methods according to the present invention may result in a change to central nervous system maladaptive neuroplasticity.
Claims26
An electrical stimulation system comprising:
- an intramuscular lead;
- at least one electrode insertable into a patient, the at least one electrode operatively coupled with the intramuscular lead;
- an electrical stimulator operatively coupled with the intramuscular lead, wherein the electrical stimulator delivers electrical stimulation through the at least one electrode to produce a muscle contraction in a target area providing physiologic activation of muscle spindles and golgi tendon organs and afferent input to a central nervous system of the patient to treat pain.
An electrical stimulation system comprising:
- an intramuscular lead;
- an electrode insertable into subepidermal tissue of a patient, the electrode operatively coupled with the intramuscular lead;
- an electrical stimulator operatively coupled with the intramuscular lead, wherein the electrical stimulator delivers electrical stimulation through the electrode to produce a muscle contraction in a target area providing physiologic activation of muscle spindles and golgi tendon organs and afferent input to a central nervous system of the patient to treat pain.
An electrical stimulation system comprising:
- an intramuscular lead at least a portion of which is positionable into subepidermal tissue of a patient;
- an electrode extending from a distal end of the intramuscular lead, the electrode comprising an uninsulated portion of the intramuscular lead;
- an electrical stimulator operatively coupled with the intramuscular lead, wherein the electrical stimulator delivers electrical stimulation through the electrode to produce a muscle contraction in a target area providing physiologic activation of muscle spindles and golgi tendon organs to treat pain.
