Selection of parameters for electrical stimulation
Summary
This patent describes methods for selecting optimal stimulation parameters in neurostimulation systems by analyzing relationships between different stimulation zones. The technique improves therapy efficacy and reduces power consumption in pelvic floor stimulation, deep brain stimulation, and peripheral nerve stimulation applications.
Why it matters
Optimized parameter selection is critical for maximizing therapeutic benefit while minimizing battery drain in implantable neurostimulators. This technology helps Medtronic's devices deliver more efficient therapy, extending device longevity and reducing the need for surgical battery replacements, which improves patient satisfaction and reduces healthcare costs.
