STIMULATION PATTERNS FOR THERAPY - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240050742 titled 'STIMULATION PATTERNS FOR THERAPY
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes methods, systems, and devices for delivering sequences of different pulse trains to a patient. Specifically, it discusses a system that controls stimulation circuitry to deliver a sequence of multiple trains of electrical stimulation pulses. Each train of pulses is defined by a unique parameter variation pattern, and the system repeatedly delivers the sequence of trains.
- The system delivers multiple sequences of electrical stimulation pulses to a patient.
- Each sequence consists of multiple trains of pulses.
- Each train of pulses has a unique parameter variation pattern.
- The system controls the stimulation circuitry to repeatedly deliver the sequence of trains.
Potential Applications:
- Medical treatments involving electrical stimulation, such as pain management or muscle rehabilitation.
- Neurological therapies, such as deep brain stimulation for Parkinson's disease or epilepsy treatment.
Problems Solved:
- Provides a more targeted and customizable approach to electrical stimulation therapy.
- Allows for precise control over the parameters of the stimulation pulses.
- Enables the delivery of complex stimulation patterns to better address specific medical conditions.
Benefits:
- Improved efficacy of electrical stimulation therapy.
- Enhanced patient comfort and reduced side effects.
- Increased flexibility in designing treatment protocols.
- Potential for personalized treatment plans based on individual patient needs.
Original Abstract Submitted
methods, systems, and devices are configured delivering one or more sequences of different pulse trains to a patient. for example, a system includes processing circuitry configured to control stimulation circuitry to deliver a sequence of a plurality of trains of electrical stimulation pulses, wherein each train of the plurality of trains of electrical stimulation pulses comprises respective pulses at least partially defined by a unique parameter variation pattern of a plurality of parameter variation patterns, and control the stimulation circuitry to repeatedly deliver the sequence of the plurality of trains of electrical stimulation pulses.
