Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling neurostimulation based on patient past usage pattern of stimulation therapy are disclose. An exemplary electrostimulation system comprises an electrostimulator to provide a bolus stimulation therapy (BST) to a neural target. The BST comprises stimulation boluses each comprising stimulation pulses during a first duration, any two consecutive boluses being separated by a stimulation-free second duration. A controller circuit can receive information about BST setting and past BST usage in the patient, analyze a BST usage pattern of the patient based on the received information, and determine or adjust a future BST schedule based at least on the BST usage pattern. The electrostimulator can deliver BST to the neural target in accordance with the BST setting and the determined or adjusted future BST schedule.

Abstract: A convertible implantable stimulator that provides electrical stimulation therapy during an extended trial stimulation period (or permanently, if desired) in a fully implanted solution is disclosed. The convertible implantable stimulator preferably does not include an internal power supply and is therefore continuously powered by an external charger, such as a powering patch, in a first mode of operation. If the convertible implantable stimulator is determined to be effective and a patient desires more traditional stimulation therapy, a separate power supply module can subsequently be implanted and connected to the convertible implantable stimulator to provide power to the stimulator in a second mode of operation.
