Abstract
A neuromodulation system and method of providing therapy to a patient. A plurality of individual electrical pulse trains is generated at a respective plurality of individual pulse rates. The plurality of individual electrical pulse trains are concurrently respectively from a plurality of electrodes to a common electrode via tissue of the patient, thereby creating a combined electrical pulse train having an average pulse rate equal to or greater than 1 KHz.
Claims20
A neuromodulation system, comprising:
- a plurality of electrical terminals configured for being coupled to a respective plurality of electrodes;
- modulation output circuitry configured for respectively generating a plurality of individual electrical pulse trains at a plurality of pulse rates;
- a switching network coupled between the plurality of electrical terminals and the modulation output circuitry;
- and
- control circuitry configured for operating the switching network to concurrently convey the plurality of electrical pulse trains respectively from a plurality of electrical terminals to a common electrical terminal, thereby creating a combined electrical pulse train having an average pulse rate equal to or greater than 1 KHz.
