IPG configured to deliver different pulse regimes to different leads for pudendal nerve stimulation

摘要

The present disclosure involves a method of generating different stimulation waveforms as a part of sacral nerve stimulation therapy. A first stimulation waveform having a first stimulation waveform characteristic is generated. The first stimulation waveform is delivered to a first body part of a patient at least in part via a first channel. A second stimulation waveform having a second stimulation waveform characteristic is generated. The second stimulation waveform characteristic is different from the first stimulation waveform characteristic. The second stimulation waveform is delivered to a second body part of the patient at least in part via a second channel that is separate and independent from the first channel. The first body part and second body part correspond to different organs or different types of nerves.

1. A method of generating different stimulation waveforms as a part of sacral nerve stimulation therapy, comprising:
providing a first clock via a first signal produced by a first crystal clock or via a first phase-locked-loop that is configured to convert a crystal clock signal into a first clock signal; providing a second clock via a second signal produced by a second crystal clock different from the first crystal clock or via a second phase-locked-loop that is configured to convert the crystal clock signal into a second clock signal, wherein the first clock and the second clock are separate but are provided within a same device housing; generating a first stimulation waveform as a first part of the sacral nerve stimulation therapy, the first stimulation waveform having a first stimulation waveform characteristic, wherein the first stimulation waveform is generated using the first clock; delivering, at least in part via a first channel, the first stimulation waveform to a first body part of a patient; generating a second stimulation waveform as a second part of the sacral nerve stimulation therapy, the second stimulation waveform having a second stimulation waveform characteristic different from the first stimulation waveform characteristic, wherein the second stimulation waveform is generated using the second clock; and delivering, at least in part via a second channel that is separate and independent from the first channel, the second stimulation waveform to a second body part of the patient, wherein the first body part and second body part correspond to different organs or different types of nerves.
