Method and apparatus for very-high frequency neurostimulation

A method for delivering neurostimulation to one or more regions of tissue in a patient, the method comprising:

• delivering the neurostimulation from a stimulation output circuit from a stimulation device;
• sensing a measure of tissue heating caused by the delivery of the neurostimulation using one or more sensors;
• determining a temperature parameter representing a temperature or a temperature change using the received measure of tissue heating;
• adjusting the stimulation parameters using the temperature parameter;
• and
• adjusting the stimulation parameters to limit a dosage based on an operational capability of the implantable neurostimulator and a safety limit related to tissue heating, the dosage including an amount of at least one of an electrical energy or electrical charge injected in to the tissue by the delivery of the neurostimulation over a specified duration.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including instructions, which when executed by a system, cause the system to perform a method for delivering neurostimulation to one or more regions of tissue in a patient, the method comprising:

• delivering the neurostimulation from a stimulation output circuit;
• receiving a measure of tissue heating caused by the delivery of the neurostimulation, the measure of tissue heating sensed using one or more sensors;
• determining a temperature parameter representing a temperature or a temperature change using the received measure of tissue heating;
• adjusting the stimulation parameters using the temperature parameter;
• and
• adjusting the stimulation parameters to limit a dosage based on an operational capability of the implantable neurostimulator and a safety limit related to tissue heating, the dosage including an amount of at least one of an electrical energy or electrical charge injected in to the tissue by the delivery of the neurostimulation over a specified duration.
