  • Systems and methods for programming and operating deep brain stimulation arrays
    Patent number: 10561848
    Abstract: Systems, methods and apparatus for determining and/or programming stimulation settings for a pulse generator capable of steering current to a deep brain stimulation array are disclosed. Individual patient brain geometry and lead specific geometry data can be used to generate a maximum activation function curve. Optimization methods can be used to find stimulation settings that are as close as possible to achieving the value of the maximum activation function curve.
    Type: Grant
