Systems and methods for neurostimulation electrode configurations based on neural localization

摘要

Methods and systems for obtaining and analyzing electromyography responses of electrodes of an implanted neurostimulation lead for use neurostimulation programming are provided herein. System setups for neural localization and/or programming include a clinician programmer coupleable with a temporary or permanent lead implantable in a patient and at least one pair of EMG sensing electrodes minimally invasively positioned on a skin surface or within the patient. The clinician programmer is configured to determine a plurality of recommended electrode configurations based on thresholds and EMG responses of the plurality of electrodes and rank the electrode configuration according to pre-determined criteria. The clinician programmer further includes graphical user interface on which the plurality of recommended electrode configurations are displayed for modification and/or selection by a clinician in programming an IPG or EPG coupled with the lead to apply a neurostimulation treatment according to the selected electrode configuration.
