发明名称 NEUROMODULATION OF SUBCELLULAR STRUCTURES WITHIN THE DORSAL ROOT GANGLION
摘要 Devices, systems and methods are provided for the targeted treatment of abnormal sensory conditions. In such conditions, physical stimuli is transduced into neuronal impulses that are subsequently transmitted to the central nervous system for processing. Such transduction is achieved by primary sensory neurons in the dorsal root ganglions. Subcellular structures on primary sensory neurons can significantly modulate the function of these neurons, thereby affecting the transduction and reducing the abnormal sensory experiences. Thus, devices, systems and methods are provided for neuromodulating subcellular structures on primary sensory neurons of the dorsal root ganglions.

主权项 1. A method of neuromodulation comprising: positioning at least one electrode in proximity to a dorsal root ganglion; and energizing the at least one electrode so that an electric field is applied to the dorsal root ganglion in a manner which neuromodulates at least one subcellular structure on a primary sensory neuron within the dorsal root ganglion.
