Abstract
This is a neurostimulator that is configured to treat epilepsy and other neurological disorders using certain stimulation strategies, particularly changing various pulse parameters, during the imposition of a burst of those pulses. The invention includes the processes embodying those stimulation strategies.
Claims6
A method for treating an abnormal neurological condition comprising:
- applying at least one electrical burst to brain tissue, the at least one electrical burst comprising a multiplicity of pulses, wherein the application of the at least one electrical burst is synchronized to detected electrical activity of the brain tissue.
The method of claim 2 wherein the detected electrical activity is an epileptiform electrical activity.
A method for treating an abnormal neurological condition comprising:
- determining an interval of an electrical signal in brain tissue;
- and
- applying to the brain tissue at least one electrical burst, wherein the at least one electrical burst comprises a multiplicity of pulses, and wherein the pulses have at least one pulse parameter related to the interval of the electrical signal in the brain tissue.
