Method Of Neurostimulation Of Distinct Neural Structures Using Single Paddle Lead To Treat Multiple Pain Locations And Multi-Column, Multi-Row Paddle Lead For Such Neurostimulation
US Patent:
7979131, Jul 12, 2011
Filed:
Jan 26, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/627699
Inventors:
Claudio A. Feler - Memphis TN, US
John H. Erickson - Plano TX, US
John H. Erickson - Plano TX, US
Assignee:
Advanced Neuromodulation Systems, Inc. - Plano TX
International Classification:
A61N 1/34
US Classification:
607 46, 607117
Abstract:
In some embodiments, a paddle lead is implanted within a patient such that the electrodes are positioned within the cervical or thoracic spinal levels. An electrode combination on a first row of electrodes can be determined that is effective for a first pain location with minimal effects on other regions of the body. The first pain location can be addressed by stimulating a first dorsal column fiber due to the relatively fine electrical field resolution achievable by the multiple columns. Then, another electrode combination on a second row of electrodes can be determined for a second pain location with minimal effects on other regions. The second pain location could be addressed by stimulating a second dorsal column fiber. After the determination of the appropriate electrodes for stimulation, the patient's IPG can be programmed to deliver pulses using the first and second rows according to the determined electrode combinations.

Epidural Nerve Root Stimulation
US Patent:
6002964, Dec 14, 1999
Filed:
Jul 15, 1998
Appl. No.:
9/116185
Inventors:
Claudio A. Feler - Memphis TN
Kenneth M. Alo - Bellaire TX
Kenneth M. Alo - Bellaire TX
International Classification:
A61N 100
US Classification:
607 46
Abstract:
A method of managing chronic pain produced by a variety of disorders or conditions which afflict the pelvic region and which is transmitted through the lumbosacral region of the human body. The method includes techniques for positioning one or more stimulation leads within or about the sacrum to enable electrical energy to be applied to spinal nervous tissue, including nerve roots, to inhibit the transmission of pain.
Apparatus And Method For Positioning Spinal Cord Stimulation Leads
US Patent:
6027456, Feb 22, 2000
Filed:

Assignee:
Advanced Neuromodulation Systems, Inc. - Allen TX
International Classification:
A61B 505
US Classification:
600554
Abstract:
An apparatus for assisting in the placement of a spinal cord stimulation lead with respect to the dorsal column of a patient. The apparatus detects evoked potentials which result from the controlled stimulation of spinal nerves and provides information to an operator to allow a stimulation lead to be positioned relative to a physiological midline and/or positioned along the dorsal column in a longitudinal direction.
