  • Publication number: 20060161219
    Abstract: An electrical stimulation system is provided for electrically stimulating nerve tissue in multiple locations in a person's brain to treat multiple conditions in the person's body. The system includes first electrodes and second electrodes adapted to be implanted within a person's skull. The first electrodes are adapted to be positioned proximate first nerve tissue in the brain associated with a first condition in the person's body for delivering electrical stimulation pulses to the first nerve tissue to treat the first condition. The second electrodes are adapted to be positioned proximate second nerve tissue in the brain associated with a second condition in the person's body for delivering electrical stimulation pulses to the second nerve tissue to treat the second condition.

  • Publication number: 20060069415
    Abstract: According to one aspect, an electrical stimulation system provides modified neuroplasticity effects in a person's nerve tissue. The system includes an electrical stimulation lead adapted for implantation into the person's body for electrical stimulation of target nerve tissue. The stimulation lead includes one or more electrodes adapted to be positioned proximate the target nerve tissue and to deliver electrical stimulation pulses to the target nerve tissue. The system also includes a stimulation source connectable to the stimulation lead and operable to generate the electrical stimulation pulses for transmission to the one or more electrodes of the stimulation lead to cause the one or more electrodes to deliver the electrical stimulation pulses to the target nerve tissue to modify neuroplasticity effects in the target nerve tissue.

  • Publication number: 20060030899
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a system for stimulating peripheral nerves in a painful upper chest region of a person's body is provided. The system includes stimulation electrodes adapted to be implanted in tissue proximate a network of peripheral nerve fibers located in and innervating the painful upper chest region and to deliver electrical stimulation pulses to the network of peripheral nerve fibers located in and innervating the painful upper chest region. The system also includes a stimulation source adapted for implantation into the person's body and operable to generate electrical stimulation pulses for transmission to the electrodes for delivery to the network of peripheral nerve fibers located in and innervating the painful upper chest region to relieve pain in the painful upper chest region. The stimulation pulses are specifically tailored to relieve pain in the painful upper chest region.

  • Publication number: 20050113882
    Abstract: According to one aspect, an electrical stimulation system provides reduced neuroplasticity effects in a person's nerve tissue. The system includes an electrical stimulation lead adapted for implantation into the person's body for electrical stimulation of target nerve tissue. The lead includes a number of electrodes adapted to be positioned near the target nerve tissue and to deliver electrical stimulation energy to the target nerve tissue. The system also includes a stimulation source connectable to the lead and operable to generate signals for transmission to the electrodes of the lead to cause the electrodes to deliver electrical stimulation energy to the target nerve tissue to reduce neuroplasticity effects.
