Title:
SELECTIVE STIMULATION SYSTEMS AND SIGNAL PARAMETERS FOR MEDICAL CONDITIONS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2010/062622
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Devices, systems and methods are provided for targeted treatment of a variety of conditions, particularly conditions that are associated with or influenced by the nervous system, such as pain. Targeted treatment of such conditions is provided with minimal deleterious side effects, such as undesired motor responses or undesired stimulation of unaffected body regions. This is achieved by directly neuromodulating a target anatomy associated with the condition while minimizing or excluding undesired neuromodulation of other anatomies.
