A computer implemented method and system is provided for managing neural stimulation therapy. The method comprises under control of one or more processors configured with program instructions. The method delivers a series of candidate stimulation waveforms having varied stimulation intensities to at least one electrode located proximate to nervous tissue of interest. A parameter defines the candidate stimulation waveforms is changed to vary the stimulation intensity. The method identifies a first candidate stimulation waveform that induces a paresthesia-abatement effect, while continuing to induce a select analgesic effect. The method further identifies a second candidate stimulation waveform that does not induce the select analgesic effect. The method sets a stimulation therapy based on the first and second candidate stimulation waveforms.

The present disclosure provides systems and methods for generating stimulation patterns. A computing device includes a processor, and a memory device communicatively coupled to the processor. The memory device includes instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to provide a plurality of inputs to a multi-objective modified binary particle swarm optimization (MOMBPSO) algorithm, and apply the MOMBPSO to a computational circuit model using the plurality of inputs to generate a plurality of candidate stimulation patterns, wherein the MOMBPSO is applied to the computational circuit model to optimize both i) therapy efficacy and ii) power utilization.

A system and method for modeling patient-specific spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is disclosed. The system and method acquire impedance and evoked compound action potential (ECAP) signals from a lead positioned proximate to a spinal cord (SC). The lead includes at least one electrode. The system and method determine a patient-specific anatomical model based on the impedance and ECAP signals, and transform a dorsal column (DC) map template based on a DC boundary of the patient-specific anatomical model. Further, the system and method map the transformed DC map template to the patient-specific anatomical model. The system and method may also include the algorithms to solve extracellular and intracellular domain electrical fields and propagation along neurons. The system and method may also include the user interfaces to collect patient responses and compare with the patient-specific anatomical model as well as using the patient-specific anatomical model for guiding SCS programming.

The present disclosure provides systems and methods for disrupting neuronal oscillations. A neurostimulation system includes a stimulation lead comprising at least one contact, and an implantable pulse generator (IPG) communicatively coupled to the stimulation lead and configured to cause stimulation to be applied to a patient using no more than two contacts of the stimulation lead by causing a first burst of stimulation to be delivered, and causing a second burst of stimulation to be delivered within a neuronal refractory period that follows the first burst of stimulation.

The present disclosure provides a spinal cord stimulation (SCS) system. The system includes at least one SCS lead including a lead body, at least one distal electrode located at a distal end of the lead body, the at least one distal electrode configured to apply electrical stimulation to a stimulation target of a patient, and a pain reduction assembly coupled to the lead body and configured to reduce post-operation pain at an incision site associated with implantation of the at least one SCS lead. The system further includes a pulse generator coupled to the at least one SCS lead and configured to control electrical stimulation delivered to the patient via the at least one SCS lead.
