  • Patent number: 7254445
    Abstract: An electronic stimulation system is used to control pain over multiple regions of a patient's body. The system has one or more percutaneous leads, each having multiple electrodes, implanted within the patient's epidural space parallel to the axis of the spinal cord. The leads are connected to either a totally implanted system or a radio frequency system. The system is able to treat pain over different regions of a patient's body by “simultaneously” stimulating the patient with at least three different stimulation settings. “Simultaneous” stimulation involves sequentially stimulating the patient with the multiple stimulation settings such that the patient receives the cumulative effect of each stimulation setting, while not perceiving the transition from one stimulation setting to another.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7172452
    Abstract: A cable guide module comprises a body portion having at least one groove therein extending across the body portion, the groove having a first open end and a second open end. An attachment mechanism is provided on the body portion for releasably securing the body portion of a first cable guide module to the body portion of a second cable guide module such that the grooves of the first and second cable guide modules together define a channel.

  • Patent number: 5938690
    Abstract: A computer based system and methods for use with known neuromodulation systems to assist in the performance of pre-, intra- and post-operative procedures relating to the determination and optimization of a patient's therapeutic regimen. The system can use a computer database of information in connection with the pain map of an individual patient to aid the physician in making more accurate decisions regarding waveform and electrode configuration definition, as well as multi-electrode lead placement. The system can record and process patient responses to test stimulation patterns during the operation of placing the electrodes, so as to give the physician real-time information that can be used to effectively position the multi-electrode leads within the patient's body.
