System And Method For Mapping Arbitrary Electric Fields To Pre-Existing Lead Electrodes
US Patent:
2018009, Apr 5, 2018
Filed:
Dec 7, 2017
Appl. No.:
15/835288
Inventors:
- Valencia CA, US
Sridhar Kothandaraman - Valencia CA, US
Prakash Rao - Philadelphia PA, US

International Classification:
A61N 1/36
A61N 1/05
A61N 1/372
A61N 1/05
A61N 1/372
Abstract:
A system for a neurostimulator coupled to electrodes, and a method of providing therapy to a patient using the electrodes implanted within the patient. A target multipole relative to the electrodes is defined. The target multipole is emulated by defining an initial electrical current distribution for the electrodes, such that a first set of active electrodes respectively has electrical current values of a first polarity. Each of the electrical current values of the first polarity is compared to a first threshold value, and at least one of the electrodes in the first active electrode set is zeroed-out based on the comparison. The electrical current value of each of the zeroed-out electrode(s) is redistributed to remaining ones of the electrodes to define a new electrical current distribution for the electrodes. Electrical current is conveyed to the electrodes in accordance with the new electrical current distribution, thereby providing the therapy.
Method For Automation Of Therapy-Based Programming In A Tissue Stimulator User Interface
US Patent:
2017022, Aug 10, 2017
Filed:
Apr 26, 2017
Appl. No.:
15/497870
Inventors:
- Valencia CA, US
Prakash Rao - Philadelphia PA, US
Dennis Zottola - Ventura CA, US
Prakash Rao - Philadelphia PA, US
Dennis Zottola - Ventura CA, US
International Classification:
A61N 1/372
A61N 1/36
A61N 1/36
Abstract:
A method for programming a neurostimulator includes automatically performing a series of steps. One or more control elements may be actuated to select the series of steps from a plurality of series of steps stored in a memory of an external control device. One or more control elements may be actuated during the performance of the series of steps in order to cause one of the steps to pause, stop, restart, skip, or repeat. The series of steps may be a series of pre-programming steps, and the method may further include programming the neurostimulator after the series of pre-programming steps is performed. An external device for programming the neurostimulator includes control circuitry configured for automatically performing the series of steps, and a user interface including the one or more control elements configured for being actuated. The control device also includes the memory for storing the plurality of series of steps.
