Monitoring nerve activity
Systems and methods provide interface to a patient's autonomic nerves via an interior lumen wall of a blood vessel. Systems can include a probe having at least one electrode for receiving electrical signals from the interior of the lumen wall. The system can include processing components for extracting the signals from noise within the patient's body. Systems can include stimulation electrodes for providing stimulation and eliciting action potentials within the patient and destructive processes for destroying nervous function. The effect of nerve destruction on the propagation of action potentials can be effectively used as a feedback mechanism for determining the amount of nervous function destruction in the patient.
Surgical monitoring system and related methods for spinal pedicle screw alignment
The present invention relates to a system and methods generally aimed at monitoring the angular orientation between two locations within a fluoroscopic image and especially for monitoring the angular orientation between two locations within a fluoroscopic image and a predetermined target angle.
Feedback control of neuromodulation
An automated method of controlling neural stimulation. A neural stimulus is applied to a neural pathway in order to give rise to an evoked action potential on the neural pathway, and the stimulus is defined by at least one stimulus parameter. A neural compound action potential response evoked by the stimulus is measured. From the measured evoked response a feedback variable such as observed ECAP voltage (V) is derived. A feedback loop is completed by using the feedback variable to control the at least one stimulus parameter value for a future stimulus. The method adaptively compensates for changes in a gain of the feedback loop caused by electrode movement relative to the neural pathway. A compensating transfer function is applied to the feedback variable, the compensating transfer function being configured to compensate for both (i) a distance-dependent transfer function of stimulation, and (ii) a distance dependent transfer function of measurement which is distinct from (i).
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR GENERATING A NEUROPATHOLOGIC NOURISHMENT PROGRAM

Methods and apparatus for electrically inducing a peripheral nerve blockade
Methods and devices are disclosed for inducing analgesia in a localized region of tissue. Inducing analgesia may be performed by identifying a nerve associated with the localized region, determining a resonant frequency for target neuronal cell membranes of the nerve, and generating a peripheral nerve blockade using the determined resonant frequency. The resonant frequency may be a frequency at which impedance of the nerve approaches a maximum.
