AI Technical Summary
Existing electrical stimulation therapies face challenges in maintaining effective therapeutic benefit while minimizing patient discomfort due to electrode movement relative to target tissues, leading to transient overstimulation or reduced efficacy.
A medical device adjusts stimulation parameters based on evoked compound action potentials (ECAPs) to account for electrode migration, using control policies that respond to changes in ECAP characteristics, incorporating control and informed pulses to detect and adapt therapy delivery.
The solution effectively reduces the likelihood of patient discomfort and maintains therapeutic efficacy by dynamically adjusting stimulation parameters in response to electrode movement, ensuring consistent treatment outcomes.
