  • Implantable Therapeutic Systems Including Neurostimulation Circuits, Devices, Systems and Methods
    Publication number: 20110288615
    Abstract: A neurostimulation array comprising a first implantable neurostimulator storing a first identification code in a non-volatile memory and responding to communications including said first identification code, a second implantable neurostimulator storing a second identification code in a non-volatile memory and responding to communications including said second identification code, and a polymer connector attached to said first implantable neurostimulator and said second implantable neurostimulator, thereby forming a neurostimulation array.

  • SHORT-PULSE NEURAL STIMULATION SYSTEMS, DEVICES AND METHODS
    Publication number: 20110106219
    Abstract: Methods, devices and systems for neural stimulation using a short-pulse stimulation are described. Using a waveform that generates a sufficiently large capacitive current density in the tissue surrounding a nerve allows neural stimulation at one hundredth the power of a charge injection stimulation. A capacitive discharge may be used to generate the short-pulse stimulation waveform. Short pulse stimulation may be used to generate parasthesia, particularly for treatment of chronic pain.
