Abstract
Systems and methods for controlling and optimizing closed-loop neuromodulation therapies are provided. The system may include a pulse generator configured to generate an electrical signal that may be transmitted to a plurality of a electrodes. The plurality of electrodes may include at least one stimulating electrode and at least one recording electrode. The at least one stimulating electrode may be configured to stimulate an anatomical element based on the electrical signal and the at least one recording electrode configured to record a physiological response.
Claims20
A system for controlling a therapeutic procedure comprising:
- a pulse generator configured to generate an electrical signal;
- a lead in communication with the pulse generator and configured to transmit the electrical signal to a plurality of electrodes;
- and
- the plurality of electrodes in communication with the lead and configured to be implanted near a stimulation target, the plurality of electrodes comprising at least one stimulating electrode and at least one recording electrode, the at least one stimulating electrode configured to stimulate an anatomical element based on the electrical signal and the at least one recording electrode configured to record a physiological response,
- wherein the at least one pair of recording electrodes is substantially perpendicular to the at least one pair of stimulating electrodes.
A system for controlling a therapeutic procedure comprising:
- a pulse generator configured to generate an electrical signal;
- a first lead in communication with the pulse generator and configured to transmit the electrical signal to at least one electrode;
- at least one stimulating electrode positioned on the first lead and configured to stimulate an anatomical element based on the electrical signal, the at least one stimulating electrode to be implanted at a first positioned near the anatomical element;
- a second lead;
- and
- at least one recording electrode positioned on the second lead and configured to record a physiological response to the stimulation, the at least one recording electrode to be implanted at a second positioned near the at least one stimulating electrode.
The system of 12, wherein the at least one recording electrode is disposed on a pump catheter.
The system of 11, wherein the at least one stimulating electrode comprises a pair of stimulating electrodes, each stimulating electrode of the at least one stimulating electrode is spaced apart from each other at a first distance and the at least one pair of stimulating electrodes are positioned at a second distance from the at least one recording electrode.
A lead for stimulation a target comprising:
- a plurality of electrodes positioned on the lead and configured to be implanted near an anatomical element, the plurality of electrodes comprising at least one stimulating electrode and at least one recording electrode, the at least one stimulating electrode configured to stimulate a stimulating target and the at least one recording electrode configured to record a physiological response resulting from the stimulation,
- wherein the at least one recording electrode is perpendicular to the at least one stimulating electrode,
- wherein a first recording electrode of the at least one stimulating electrode is proximal to the at least one stimulating electrode and a second recording electrode of the at least one stimulating electrode is distal to the at least one stimulating electrode, and
- wherein the at least one stimulating electrode comprises a pair of stimulating electrodes, each stimulating electrodes of the at least one pair of stimulating electrodes is spaced apart from each other at a first distance and the at least one pair of stimulating electrodes are positioned at a second distance from the first recording electrode and at a third distance from the second recording electrode.
