Abstract: Systems of providing pain control include multi-lumen neuromodulation assemblies with one or more catheters, each having proximal end and a distal end. A single-catheter system with integrated multiple lumens may have a first lumen terminating near the distal end of the catheter and a separate second lumen terminating proximally at a point spaced from the distal end of the first lumen. A catheter-in-catheter design utilizes a second catheter extending through and beyond the distal end of a first catheter to provide a lumen terminating at a point distal from the distal end of the first catheter. The proximal end of at least one lumen includes a connector configured to electrically interconnect an electrode at the distal end of that lumen with a nerve stimulator, such as an electrical pulse generator. At least one of the lumens is also configured to receive liquid medications.

Abstract: A method is provided in one example embodiment and includes communicating initial digits associated with an original request for a call and receiving a message indicating an incomplete address for the original request. The method also includes responding to the message by appending additional digits to the original request to generate a new request. The additional digits are buffered before receiving the message indicating the incomplete address associated with the original request. In other embodiments, the original request is a session initiation protocol (SIP) INVITE message that includes a uniform resource identifier (URI), which reflects an address for reaching a destination user. The initial digits can be partially matched against a dial plan in order to trigger the message associated with the original request. The additional digits are configured to satisfy the message and to connect the call. The message associated with the original request can be a session initiation protocol (SIP) 484 message.
