Abstract
A neurostimulation system is shown and described. The neurostimulation system may include a stimulation device implantable into a patient, a lead operatively coupled with the stimulation device, a first power cell providing power to the stimulation device where the first power cell is charged by an externally applied AC (High HF) magnetic field.
Claims56
A neurostimulation system comprising:
- a stimulation device implantable into a patient;
- a lead operatively coupled with the stimulation device;
- a first power cell providing power to the stimulation device;
- and
- wherein the first power cell is charged by an externally applied AC (High HF) magnetic field.
A neurostimulation system comprising:
- a stimulator implantable in communication with a patient's nervous system, the stimulator configured to generate an electrical signal;
- and
- a clinical programmer operatively and wirelessly coupled with the stimulator, the clinical programmer controls the electrical signal of the stimulator by modifying at least one characteristic of the electrical signal.
A neurostimulation system comprising:
- an electrical stimulator;
- at least one lead, the leading having at least one electrode, wherein the lead is implantable within a patient;
- and
- a charger in communication with the electrical stimulator using an UHF telemetry wireless link.
A neurostimulation system comprising:
- an implantable electrical stimulator, the electrical stimulator configured to apply a first electrical signal;
- and
- a remote operatively coupled with the electrical stimulator, the remote configured to change the first electrical signal to a second electrical signal, wherein the second electrical signal has a cost-benefit relationship with the first electrical signal.
A neurostimulation system for treating a neurological condition, the neurostimulation system comprising:
- an implantable electrical stimulator configured to apply a first stimulus pattern;
- a power source coupled with the implantable electrical stimulator to providing power to the implantable electrical stimulator;
- and
- a programmer operatively coupled with the electrical stimulator, the programmer configured to modify the implantable electrical stimulator to apply a second stimulus pattern, wherein the second stimulus pattern has increased effectiveness at reducing the neurological condition while reducing an operating life of the power source.
An implantable neurostimulator comprising:
- a secondary cell configured to receive externally generated power to recharge the secondary cell;
- and
- a case housing the secondary cell, the housing configured to be placed in a recess in a cranium of a patient.
