  • Patent number: 10292610
    Abstract: Neuromodulation systems with nerve monitoring assemblies and associated devices, systems, and methods are disclosed herein. A neuromodulation system configured in accordance with some embodiments of the present technology can include, for example, a generator, a nerve monitoring assembly configured to detect electroneurogram (ENG) signals, and a neuromodulation catheter. The neuromodulation catheter can include an elongated shaft with a distal portion and a proximal portion. The distal portion of the shaft can include an array of electrodes configured to detect nerve activity from within a blood vessel of a human. The proximal portion of the shaft can include at least one connector that operably couples the electrodes to the generator and to the nerve monitoring assembly.

  • Patent number: 9931047
    Abstract: Neuromodulation catheters with nerve monitoring features for transmitting digital neural signals and associated systems and methods are disclosed herein. A neuromodulation catheter configured in accordance with some embodiments of the present technology can include, for example, a handle and an elongated shaft attached to the handle. The shaft can have a proximal portion and a distal portion configured to be moved within a lumen of a blood vessel of a human patient. The neuromodulation catheter can further include an array of contacts at the distal portion of the shaft and a digitizer at the handle or the shaft. The contacts can be configured to detect analog neural signals from within the blood vessel. The digitizer can be configured to receive the analog neural signals from the contacts, digitize the analog neural signals into digital neural signals, and transmit the digital neural signals to a read/write module external to the patient.
