NEUROSTIMULATION SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A neurostimulation system, comprising:
- a lead, wherein at least a portion of the lead is wrappable at least partially about a dorsal root ganglion so that an electrode on the lead is positioned to selectively stimulate the dorsal root ganglion;
a signal generator coupled to the electrode; and
a controller to control the output of the signal generator.

Abstract
Some embodiments of the present invention provide neurostimulation systems and components for selective stimulation and/or neuromodulation of one or more dorsal root ganglia through implantation of an electrode on, in or around a dorsal root ganglia. Some other embodiments of the present invention provide neurostimulation systems adapted for selective neurostimulation of one or more nerve root ganglia as well as techniques for applying neurostimulation to the spinal cord. Still other embodiments of the present invention provide stimulation systems and components for selective stimulation and/or neuromodulation of one or more dorsal root ganglia through implantation of an electrode on, in or around a dorsal root ganglia in combination with a pharmacological agent.
