Patent number: 11452871Abstract: This document discusses, among other things, brain stimulation models, systems, devices, and methods, such as for deep brain stimulation (DBS) or other electrical stimulation. In an example, volumetric imaging data representing an anatomical volume of a brain of a patient can be obtained and transformed to brain atlas data. A patient-specific brain atlas can be created using the inverse of the transformation to map the brain atlas data onto the volumetric imaging data and a volume of influence can be calculated using the patient-specific brain atlas. In certain examples, the volume of influence can include a predicted volume of tissue affected by an electrical stimulation delivered by an electrode at a corresponding at least one candidate electrode target location.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2019Date of Patent: September 27, 2022Assignee: CLEVELAND CLINIC FOUNDATIONInventors: Cameron C. McIntyre, Christopher R. Butson, John D. Hall, Jaimie M. Henderson

Publication number: 20170185730Abstract: Example apparatus and methods concern a clinical decision support system for the selection of candidates. A clinical decision support system includes a candidate data logic that receives electronic data that identifies candidate data, including symptom and non-symptom data, for a candidate. The clinical decision support system also includes a scoring logic that generates a score for the candidate based, at least in part, on a set of rules being applied to the candidate data. The set of rules is based on patient data of a set of patients. The clinical decision support system further includes an identification logic that identifies a personalized treatment for the candidate based, at least in part, on the score.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 29, 2016Publication date: June 29, 2017Inventors: Cameron C.

Patent number: 9653002Abstract: A cognitive and/or motor skill testing system and method may include a processor that records respective time information for each of multiple positions of a display device that are traced during administration of a test, that determines speed and/or velocity values based on the recorded time information, and that outputs test result information based on the determined values. The test result information may be based on a comparison between a graphed curve of such values to an ideal curve. The positions may correspond to a path between displayed targets whose size and/or distance therebetween depend on past test performance. The system and/or method may output a change expected with a change to therapy parameters for a patient, where the expected change is determined based on changes which occurred in other patients having similar test results and therapy parameters as those of the patient.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2010Date of Patent: May 16, 2017Assignee: The Cleveland Clinic FoundationInventors: Jay L.

Patent number: RE45718Abstract: Systems and methods for blocking nerve impulses use an implanted electrode located on or around a nerve. A specific waveform is used that causes the nerve membrane to become incapable of transmitting an action potential. The membrane is only affected underneath the electrode, and the effect is immediately and completely reversible. The waveform has a low amplitude and can be charge balanced, with a high likelihood of being safe to the nerve for chronic conditions. It is possible to selectively block larger (motor) nerve fibers within a mixed nerve, while allowing sensory information to travel through unaffected nerve fibers.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2010Date of Patent: October 6, 2015Assignee: BOSTON SCIENTIFIC CORPORATIONInventors: Kevin L.
