Description
本出願は、2016年1月29日に出願された“Methods and Systems for Frequency Adjustment to Optimize Charging of Implantable Neurostimulator”と題する米国仮出願番号第62/289,073号に基づく優先権の利益を主張しており、その全体は、本明細書によって参考として本明細書中に援用される。
本発明は、神経刺激処置システムおよび関連デバイス、ならびにそのような処置システムの処置、埋込、および構成の方法に関する。
埋込可能神経刺激システムを用いた処置は、近年、ますます一般的になっている。そのようなシステムは、いくつかの状態を処置する際に有望性を示しているが、処置の有効性は、患者間で著しく変動し得る。いくつかの要因は、患者が経験する非常に異なる転帰につながり得、処置の実行可能性は、埋込の前に判定することが困難であり得る。例えば、刺激システムは、多くの場合、1つまたはそれを上回る標的神経構造を処置するために、電極のアレイを利用する。電極は、多くの場合、多電極導線上にともに搭載され、導線は、標的神経構造への電極の電気結合をもたらすことを意図している位置において患者の組織に埋め込まれ、典型的には、結合の少なくとも一部は、中間組織を介して提供される。他のアプローチもまた、例えば、標的神経構造を覆う皮膚に取り付けられる、標的神経の周囲でカフに埋め込まれる、もしくは同等物である、1つまたはそれを上回る電極とともに、採用されてもよい。それにもかかわらず、医師は、典型的には、電極に印加される電気刺激を変動させることによって、適切な処置プロトコルの確立を模索する。
本開示の一側面は、1つまたはそれを上回る電気パルスを患者の身体内の標的領域に送達するための埋込可能神経刺激装置と結合するための充電器に関する。充電器は、電気エネルギーを貯蔵するための電源と、複数の自然(固有)周波数を有するように構成され得る、共振回路と、電源および共振回路に結合される、ドライバであって、共振回路を給電し得る、ドライバと、共振回路に結合され、共振回路の自然周波数を制御するためのプロセッサとを含む。いくつかの実施形態では、プロセッサは、埋込可能神経刺激装置と関連付けられた記憶されたデータに従って、共振回路の自然周波数を制御することができる。
本発明は、神経刺激処置システムおよび関連デバイス、ならびにそのような処置システムの処置、埋込/留置、および構成の方法に関する。1つの特定の実施形態では、本発明は、過活動膀胱(「OAB」)を処置し、膀胱関連機能不全の症状を緩和するように構成される、仙骨神経刺激処置システムに関する。しかしながら、本発明はまた、当業者によって理解されるであろうように、排便機能不全等の任意の種々の神経調節用途、運動または情動障害等の疼痛もしくは他の適応症の処置にも利用され得ることが理解され得る。
I.神経刺激適応症
II.仙骨神経調節
A.仙骨神経調節システムの埋込
B.EMGとともに神経刺激導線を位置付ける
C.例示的実施形態
