System and method for closed-loop neural stimulation
First Claim
1. A device, comprising:
- a port adapted to connect a lead;
a pulse generator connected to the port and adapted to provide a neural stimulation signal to the lead;
a signal processing module connected to the port and adapted to receive and process a nerve traffic signal from the lead into a signal indicative of the nerve traffic; and
a controller connected to the pulse generator and the signal processing module, the controller being adapted to implement a stimulation protocol to provide the neural stimulation signal with desired neural stimulation parameters based on the signal indicative of the nerve traffic.
