Multiple tunable central cathodes on a paddle for increased medial-lateral and rostral-caudal flexibility via current steering

A neurostimulation paddle lead, method of neurostimulation, and neurostimulation system are provided. The neurostimulation paddle lead carries a plurality of electrodes comprising at least four columns of electrodes having a spacing between two inner electrode columns less than a spacing between the inner electrode columns and adjacent outer electrode columns. The inner electrode columns may also be longitudinally offset from the outer electrode columns. The methods and neurostimulation systems steer current between the electrodes to modify a medial-lateral electrical field created adjacent spinal cord tissue.

Electronic stimulation system and device thereof for dorsal root ganglion

An electronic stimulation device for electrically stimulating at least one dorsal root ganglion with relative low pain sensations without generating relative much sensations of paresthesia comprises at least one electronic stimulation unit. The electronic stimulation unit includes at least one first electrode and at least one second electrode, and it delivers a high-frequency electrical stimulation signal to impel the first electrode and the second electrode to generate an electric field. The range of the electric field covers the dorsal root ganglion, and the electric field strength ranges from 100 V/m to 1000 V/m.

Method and apparatus for transdermal stimulation over the palmar and plantar surfaces
09630004 · 2017-04-25 · ·

Various methods and devices for providing transdermal electrical stimulation therapy to a patient are provided. In certain variations, a method may include positioning a stimulator electrode over a glabrous skin surface overlying a target nerve of a subject. Electrical stimulation may be delivered through or across the glabrous skin surface to the target nerve to stimulate the target nerve, while remaining safe and tolerable to the patient. Electrical stimulation may be delivered at frequencies that may be painful or intolerable when applied over non-glabrous surfaces of the body. Various applicators or devices for providing transdermal electrical stimulation therapy are also provided.
