SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR LEAD PLACEMENT BY EVOKED POTENTIAL - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18624644 titled 'SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR LEAD PLACEMENT BY EVOKED POTENTIAL
The document discusses a computer-implemented method of operating a neurostimulation device to deliver electrical neurostimulation when connected to an implantable stimulation lead. The method includes delivering neurostimulation to a subject that produces evoked potential signals, sensing the evoked potential signals resulting from the neurostimulation, detecting changes in the sensed evoked potential signals in response to a change in at least one of the number of repeated presentations of the neurostimulation or a change in a parameter of the first neurostimulation, and producing an indication of proximity of the stimulation lead to a preferred lead location according to the detected changes in the evoked potential signals.
- Delivering electrical neurostimulation through an implantable stimulation lead
- Sensing evoked potential signals produced by the neurostimulation
