The present technology is directed generally to spinal cord modulation and associated systems and methods for treating pain and other patient conditions. In particular, the present technology includes modified high frequency neuromodulation signals and administration patterns.

A gastric electric stimulation (GES) system is disclosed which includes a processing system, and at least one of a left vagus nerve sensor (L/R Sensors) and a right vagus nerve sensor coupled to the processing system, the processing system is configured to receive a model which statistically correlates sensed compound nerve action potential (CNAP) parameters measured from at least one of left and right vagus nerves of subjects within a population to feedback surveys of the subjects corresponding to a plurality of gastric symptoms and symptom parameters, receive one or more gastric symptoms of a subject outside of the population (Subject.sub.out), determine CNAP parameters that correspond to the gastric symptoms with least severity (CNAP.sub.min), measure CNAP activity of the Subject.sub.out from the L/R sensors while modifying GES parameters for the Subject.sub.out, select the GES parameters that corresponds to the CNAP.sub.min (GES.sub.out), and output the GES.sub.out.

Techniques for placing implantable electrodes to treat sleep apnea, and associated devices, systems, and methods are disclosed herein. A representative method includes percutaneously implanting one or more signal delivery devices, each at or near a respective target signal delivery location in a patient. Each signal delivery device can include one or more electrodes, and individual ones of the electrodes can be positioned to produce a net positive protrusive motor response of the patient's tongue. The representative method further includes providing power to one or more of the electrodes from a wearable power source to cause the electrode(s) to deliver an electrical signal to the respective target signal delivery location(s) to produce the net positive protrusive motor response.

The present disclosure is directed to a system and method for selectively and reversibly modulating targeted neural and non-neural tissue of a nervous system for the treatment of pain. An electrical stimulation is delivered to the treatment site that selectively and reversibly modulates the targeted neural- and non-neural tissue of the nervous structure, inhibiting the perception of pain while preserving other sensory and motor function, and proprioception.

In an embodiment herein, an aortopulmonary stimulation method is provided including positioning at least one aortic electrode in or near the aorta, and using the at least one aortic electrode, to deliver stimulation to the aorta to decrease aortic after load.

An example medical device includes a plurality of electrodes, therapy delivery circuitry, and processing circuitry configured to control the therapy delivery circuitry to deliver electrical stimulation to an intercostal nerve of a patient via at least two of the plurality of electrodes, wherein the electrical stimulation is delivered with stimulation parameters configured to suppress ventricular tachyarrhythmia of the patient, wherein the stimulation parameters comprise a stimulation frequency less than or equal to 40 hertz (Hz).

A system may include a stimulator, sensing circuitry and a controller. The stimulator may be operably connected to at least one stimulation electrode, and configured to deliver an electrical waveform for an electrical therapy using the at least one stimulation electrode. The sensing circuitry may be operably connected to at least one sensing electrode, and configured to sense electrical potentials that are evoked by the electrical waveform to provide sensed evoked signals. The controller may be operably connected to the stimulator and the sensing circuitry. The controller may be configured to automatically define a sampling window, sample the sensed evoked potentials during the sampling window to provide sampled values, detect at least one feature from the sampled values, and automatically provide feedback for closed-loop control of the electrical therapy based on the at least one feature.

A neuromodulation system including at least one input module for inputting a planned neuromodulation event or a series of neuromodulation events and at least one analyzing module for analyzing a neuromodulation event or a series of neuromodulation events. The analyzing module and the input module may be connected such that the input module is configured to forward the planned neuromodulation event or a series of neuromodulation events to the analyzing module and the analyzing module is configured to analyze the planned neuromodulation event or a series of neuromodulation events regarding one or more possible neuromodulation conflict(s).

The present disclosure relates to methods, devices, and systems used for the treatment of and/or promoting recovery from various neurological disorders and conditions, including epilepsy and other seizure disorders and movement and other related disorders, as well as for the treatment of mood, anxiety, post traumatic stress disorder, and cognitive and behavioral disorders (collectively, neuropsychiatric disorders) via stimulation of the superficial elements of the trigeminal nerve.

Modulation of neural activity in the superior laryngeal nerve (SLN) or cervical sympathetic trunk (CST) is effective in treating diseases and conditions mediated by thyroid and parathyroid hormones, in particular diseases associated with calcitonin secretion (e.g. osteoporosis) or diseases associated with thyroxine secretion (e.g. hypothyroid syndrome).
