Abstract
A device used for neurostimulation includes a plurality of electrodes. In order to improve therapeutic efficacy when using a group of N electrodes equal to or larger than 3, the device is configured to deliver a number of N+1 electrical phases during one cycle via the electrodes such that during N electrical phases of the cycle each electrode of the group delivers alternating a therapeutic electric phase and a number of N−1 charge balancing electric phases. One electrode of the group delivers its specific therapeutic electric phase and the other electrodes of the group deliver a charge balancing phase having an opposite polarity of the therapeutic electric phase delivered, and such that during an additional electrical phase each electrode of the plurality of electrodes delivers an electrical phase with an amplitude that establishes charge neutrality for residual charge on each respective electrode based on phases of the N other electrical.
