International Classification:

G06F 9/455
A61N 1/05

US Classification:

703 21, 607116

Abstract:

A system and method for displaying a volume of activation (VOA) may include a processor that displays via a display device a model of a portion of a patient anatomy that includes anatomical structures, displays via the display device and overlying the display of the model a VOA associated by the processor with a set of anatomical stimulation parameter settings, the display of the VOA, and graphically identifies interactions between the displayed VOA and a first subset of the anatomical structures associated with one or more stimulation benefits and a second subset of the anatomical structures associated with one or more stimulation side effects, where the graphical identifications differ depending on whether the interaction is with the first subset or the second subset.

International Classification:

A61N 1/36

Abstract:

Methods and systems for selecting electrical stimulation parameters for an electrical stimulation device implanted in a patient can use an iterative process for identifying electrodes for stimulation, as well as suitable stimulation parameters. The process begins with an initial set of electrode combinations to identify regions of the nerve or other tissue for stimulation. This leads to selection of other electrode combinations to test, followed by the selection of multiple electrode groups (which can include three or more electrodes) for stimulation.
