Methods and systems for neurostimulation are provided. In one example, a neurostimulation system may include a stimulation module, the stimulation module providing a first stimulation block and a second stimulation block. The neurostimulation system may further include a stimulation interference estimation module for providing an interference model for estimating a spatial interference between the first stimulation block and the second stimulation block. In some examples, the stimulation interference estimation module may reconfigure one or more of the first and the second stimulation blocks to reduce temporal overlap of the stimulation blocks.

A system and method for treating pain without paresthesia by spinal cord stimulation.

A system and method for selecting leadwire stimulation parameters includes a processor iteratively performing, for each of a plurality of values for a particular stimulation parameter, each value corresponding to a respective current field: (a) shifting the current field longitudinally and/or rotationally to a respective plurality of locations about the leadwire; and (b) for each of the respective plurality of locations, obtaining clinical effect information regarding a respective stimulation of the patient tissue produced by the respective current field at the respective location; and displaying a graph plotting the clinical effect information against values for the particular stimulation parameter and locations about the leadwire, and/or based on the obtained clinical effect information, identifying an optimal combination of a selected value for the particular stimulation parameter and selected location about the leadwire at which to perform a stimulation using the selected value.

A trigger arrangement for an infusion device is disclosed, the trigger arrangement being configured to trigger a bolus injection of the infusion device and including: a body having an outside surface, a haptic structure arranged on the outside surface or integrated into the outside surface, wherein the haptic structure includes a first end section and a second end section and wherein the haptic structure includes a haptic track extending from the first end section to the second end section, a touch sensitive sensor arrangement extending along the haptic track and configured to detect a sliding motion of an object along the haptic track.

An implantable medical device (IMD) is described capable of determining whether a patient is susceptible to freezing of gait events during ambulatory movement without the patient demonstrating an episode of freezing of gait. In one example, the IMD senses, via one or more electrodes, a bioelectrical signal of a brain of the patient while the patient performs movement associated with freezing of gait. The IMD determines, based on the bioelectrical signal, whether the patient is susceptible to freezing of gait while the patient is not experiencing an episode of freezing of gait. Further, upon detecting the movement associated with freezing of gait, the IMD delivers electrical stimulation therapy to the patient configured to suppress freezing of gait.

A method of treating tinnitus comprising measuring a patient's hearing, determining the patient's hearing loss and the patient's tinnitus frequency using the measurements of the patient's hearing, programming a clinical controller with the measurements of the patient's hearing, selecting a plurality of therapeutic tones, where the therapeutic tones are selected to be at least a half-octave above or below of the patient's tinnitus frequency, setting an appropriate volume for each of the plurality of tones, repetitively playing each of the plurality of therapeutic tones, and pairing a vagus nerve stimulation pulse train with each playing of a therapeutic tone, thereby reducing the patient's perception of tinnitus.

An example of a system may include a processor; and a memory device comprising instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the processor to access at least one of: patient input, clinician input, or automatic input; use the patient input, clinician input, or automatic input in a search method, the search method designed to evaluate a plurality of candidate neuromodulation parameter sets to identify an optimal neuromodulation parameter set; and program a neuromodulator using the optimal neuromodulation parameter set to stimulate a patient.

Methods and/or devices to determine patient respiration information are disclosed which comprise sensing acceleration.

A sensory supplement medical device, including a stimulation device configured to implement a first functionality of the sensory supplement medical device corresponding to the providing of sensory supplement to a recipient to evoke a sensory percept, wherein the sensory supplement medical device is configured to implement a secondary functionality different from the first functionality, and the sensory supplement medical device is configured to migrate the second functionality to a device remote from the sensory supplement medical device.

A method for selective activation of central thalamus fibers in a subject is disclosed. The method involves providing one or more electrodes each with one or more contacts. The one or more electrodes are positioned in the subject’s central thalamus fibers. An electrical stimulus is applied to the positioned one or more electrodes to selectively activate the central thalamus fibers of the subject. The positioning and applying are carried out to maximize central lateral nucleus and medial dorsal tegmental tract fiber pathway activation in the subject and to minimize central median parafascicularis fiber pathway activation in the subject. Methods, devices, and computer readable media for surgical planning involving selective activation of central thalamus fibers in a subject are also disclosed.
