A lead implanted in a body to apply electrical stimulation to body organs includes an electrode wire having one end provided as an insertion portion to be inserted into a body and another end provided as an interface portion for connection with an external device; a first electrode in the insertion portion to transmit electrical stimulation to body organs; a second electrode on the interface portion to receive electrical stimulation applied from outside; a signal line that interconnects the first electrode and second electrode to transmit electrical stimulation received by the second electrode to the first electrode; and a ring member that covers the first electrode and has an opening for exposing the first electrode in a portion of a circumferential direction, and is mounted to be movable in a longitudinal or circumferential direction with respect to the electrode wire by an external force to adjust an exposure position of the first electrode.

An implantable lead having adjustable electrode locations and a system for controlling the same. The implantable lead may include a plurality of first electrodes exposed and formed at an upper part of a main body at given intervals, a plurality of second electrodes coupled to a stepped lower part of the main body and configured to deliver a stimulus signal to a core area into which the lead is inserted, and a plurality of signal lines embedded in the main body and configured to connect the first electrodes and the second electrodes in a one-to-one manner. In this case, a slot for coupling and up and down movement of the second electrodes may be formed in the lower part. As the second electrodes are individually moved along the slot by an external force acting on the signal lines, locations of the second electrodes in the lower part may be adjusted.
