Abstract
A system for delivering electrical pulse stimulation to a subject includes a remote control device configured to at least intermittently transmit temporal pulse pattern programming and a stimulation device comprising a control interface, at least one electrode in electrical communication with the control interface, and an input device in at least intermittent communication with the remote control device to receive the temporal pulse pattern programming. The stimulation device is configured to deliver electrical pulse stimulation to a subject via the at least one electrode according to the temporal pulse pattern programming.
Claims24
A method of optimizing temporal pulse patterns for electrical pulse stimulation delivery to a subject, the method comprising:
- generating optimized temporal pulse patterns using a computational model of the pain circuit in the spinal cord by simulating delivery of pulse patterns to the computational model;
- and
- programming a stimulation device to deliver electrical pulse stimulation to the subject according to the optimized temporal pulse patterns.
A system configured to optimize temporal pulse patterns for electrical pulse stimulation delivery to a subject, the system including at least one processor configured for use to implement an algorithm comprising:
- generating optimized temporal pulse patterns using a computational model of the pain circuit in the spinal cord by simulating delivery of pulse patterns to the computational model;
- and
- programming a stimulation device to deliver electrical pulse stimulation to the subject according to the optimized temporal pulse patterns.
