Spatially selective nerve stimulation in high-frequency nerve conduction block and recruitment |
摘要 |
A method of providing therapy to a patient using at least one electrode is provided. The patient has a neural tissue region that is relatively close to the at least one electrode, and a neural tissue region that is relatively far from the at least one electrode. The method comprises conveying time-varying electrical energy from the electrode(s) into the relatively close and far neural tissue regions, wherein the electrical energy has a frequency and amplitude that blocks stimulation of the relatively close neural tissue region, while stimulating the relatively far neural tissue region. |

1. A method of providing therapy to a patient using at least one electrode, the patient having a neural tissue region that is relatively close to the at least one electrode, and a neural tissue region that is relatively far from the at least one electrode, the method comprising:
conveying time-varying electrical energy from the at least one electrode into the relatively close and far neural tissue regions, wherein the electrical energy has a frequency and amplitude that blocks stimulation of the relatively close neural tissue region, while stimulating the relatively far neural tissue region, wherein the relatively close neural tissue region results in a side-effect when stimulated, and the relatively far neural tissue region results in therapy when stimulated. |
