Abstract: A method of performing brain surgery on a patient having a skull and brain tissue, that starts by creating an opening, having a rim, in the skull. The method uses an assembly for facilitating brain surgery that includes a curved frame, defining an inward dimension and an outward dimension; a plurality of spatula arm subassemblies, each including a spatula arm frame clamp, releasably attached to the frame, a spatula arm held and supported by the spatula arm frame clamp and a spatula extending from the inward end of the spatula arm of the spatula arm subassembly. The assembly is clamped to the rim and the spatula arms are positioned so that the spatulas engage the brain tissue in a manner that facilitates surgery.

Abstract: A neurostimulation system is shown and described. The neurostimulation system may include a stimulation device implantable into a patient, a lead operatively coupled with the stimulation device, a first power cell providing power to the stimulation device where the first power cell is charged by an externally applied AC (High HF) magnetic field.

Abstract: An assembly for facilitating brain surgery performed through an opening having a rim, created in the skull of a patient and having a curved frame, defining an inward dimension and an outward dimension. Also, at least one clamp arm subassembly is attached to the frame, and has a clamp arm frame clamp, releasably attached to the frame; a clamp arm having a longitudinal dimension, releasably held and supported by the clamp arm frame clamp, and adjustable relative to the frame clamp along the longitudinal dimension; and a skull clamp, supported by the arm, and adapted to clamp onto the rim. Further included is at least one spatula arm subassembly, which has a spatula arm frame clamp, releasably attached to the frame; a spatula arm held and supported by the spatula arm frame clamp; and a spatula extending from the inward end of the spatula arm of the spatula arm subassembly.

Abstract: The present technology provides a medical stimulation system having a clinical programmer configured to operate on a computational and memory device having a wireless communication device. The technology also provides a neurostimulator configured to wirelessly communicate with the clinical programmer. The neurostimulator also includes a pulse generator operatively coupled with an electrode by a lead. The pulse generator is configured to transmit an electrical signal comprising a repeating succession of non-regular pulse trains. Each pulse train includes a plurality of pulses having non-regular, non-random, differing inter-pulse intervals therebetween. The pulse trains repeat in succession to treat a neurological condition. Further, the pulse trains are initiated by instructions communicated by the clinical programmer.
