Abstract

A system (10) for neuromodulation and / or neurostimulation for treating a mammal, comprising at least:-at least one control unit (12) configured and arranged to provide stimulation data; -at least one stimulation unit (14) configured and arranged to provide stimulation pulses; -at least one real-time monitoring unit (18); -at least one signal processing unit (16); wherein the system (10) is configured and arranged for controlling blood pressure wherein the stimulation unit (14) is configured to contain a lead (20), and wherein the lead (20) is capable and configured to provide stimulation to the spinal cord at a site T9-L1.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of spinal nerve prosthesis, especially for the recovery of autonomic function. [0002] In particular, it refers to a system for spinal cord stimulation, more particularly for the restoration of autonomic function, especially blood pressure, in patients with spinal cord injury or other diseases (such as stroke, multiple sclerosis, autonomic failure, Neuropathy or cancer of nervous tissue that impairs the functioning of descending sympathetic pathways that normally contribute to the control of autonomic functions) in mammals. Background technique [0003] The spinal cord is part of the central nervous system (CNS). Spinal cord injury (SCI) causes motor and sensory deficits, but also autonomic disturbances. SCI results in the shutdown of some, most, or all of the descending sympathetic pathways that carry signals responsible for regulating arterial blood pressure, heart rate, and / or bowel and bladder function....
