Lead paddle

The present disclosure provides devices, systems, and methods for spinal cord stimulation. In some exemplary embodiments, a lead is provided. In one exemplary embodiment, the lead includes a paddle and an electrode array distributed in the paddle. The electrode array includes a first column of electrodes and a second column of electrodes. The first column of electrodes and the second column of electrodes are symmetric about the midline of the paddle. The first column of electrodes includes a first electrode, a second electrode, and a third electrode. The second column of electrodes includes a fourth electrode corresponding to the first electrode, a fifth electrode corresponding to the second electrode, and a sixth electrode corresponding to the third electrode. A vertical inter-electrode distance between the first electrode and the second electrode is larger than that between the second electrode and the third electrode.

Devices and systems for electrical stimulation and methods of use

The present invention relates to an electrode array for neuromodulation, comprising a first electrode section with more than two electrodes being arranged parallel and densely packed in the first electrode section, further comprising a second electrode section with more electrodes than in the first electrode section, the electrodes in the second electrode section being arranged symmetrically with respect to the longitudinal axis and transversal offset to each other. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a lead paddle and a neuromodulation system.

Electrode array, a lead paddle and a neuromodulation system

The present disclosure refers to systems for electrical neurostimulation of a spinal cord of a subject in need of nervous system function support. In one example, a system comprises a signal processing device configured to receive signals from the subject and operate signal-processing algorithms to elaborate stimulation parameter settings; one or more multi-electrode arrays suitable to cover a portion of the spinal cord of the subject; and an Implantable Pulse Generator (IPG) configured to receive the stimulation parameter settings from the signal processing device and simultaneously deliver independent current or voltage pulses to the one or more multiple electrode arrays, wherein the independent current or voltage pulses provide multipolar spatiotemporal stimulation of spinal circuits and/or dorsal roots. Such system advantageously enables effective control of nervous system functions in the subject by stimulating the spinal cord, such as the dorsal roots of the spinal cord, with spatiotemporal selectivity.
