SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR RECORDING EVOKED RESPONSES FROM NEUROSTIMULATION

摘要

Systems and methods for closed loop spinal cord stimulation are provided. The systems and methods position a first electrode proximate to a dorsal column. The first electrode is electrically coupled to an implantable pulse generator (IPG). The systems and methods further program the IPG to deliver excitation pulses to the first electrode based on a stimulation level. The excitation pulses are emitted from the first electrode. The systems and methods further position a second electrode proximate to a dorsal root. The second electrode is electrically coupled to the IPG. The systems and methods further measure at the second electrode a first evoked potential waveforms resulting from the excitation pulses.

1. A method for closed loop spinal cord stimulation, the method comprising:
positioning a first electrode proximate to a dorsal column, wherein the first electrode is electrically coupled to an implantable pulse generator (IPG); programming the IPG to deliver excitation pulses to the first electrode based on a stimulation level, wherein the excitation pulses are emitted from the first electrode; positioning a second electrode proximate to a dorsal root (DR), wherein the second electrode is electrically coupled to the IPG; and measuring, at the second electrode, a first evoked potential waveform resulting from the excitation pulses.
