Abstract

A system may include an electrode arrangement configured for implantation in an epidural space, a neural modulation generator configured to use electrodes in the electrode arrangement to generate modulation fields, at least one storage and a controller operably connected to the neural modulation generator. The storage(s) may be configured to store supra-perception threshold dorsal root modulation field parameter data and therapeutic modulation field parameter data, where the therapeutic modulation field parameter data may be different than the supra-perception threshold dorsal root modulation field parameter data. The system may be configured to deliver a placement modulation field from the electrode arrangement in the epidural space to the dorsal roots using the supra-perception threshold dorsal root modulation field parameter data, and deliver a therapeutic modulation field from the electrode arrangement placed in the desired position within the epidural space to a therapeutic neural target using the therapeutic modulation field parameter data.

Description

technical field [0001] This application claims the benefit of priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 62 / 113,654, filed February 9, 2015, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0002] This document relates generally to medical devices, and more particularly to systems, devices, and methods for delivering neuromodulation. Background technique [0003] Neuromodulation has been proposed as a treatment for many conditions. Often, neuromodulation and neurostimulation are used interchangeably to describe excitatory stimulation leading to action potentials as well as inhibition and other effects. Examples of neuromodulation include spinal cord stimulation (SCS), deep brain stimulation (DBS), peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS), and functional electrical stimulation (FES). By way of example and not limitation, SCS has been used to manage chronic pain syndromes. [0004] Some neural targets can be complex structur...
