First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of treating a patient with ischemia pain, comprising:
- providing a stimulator;
configuring one or more stimulation parameters to treat ischemia pain in a visceral organ;
programming said stimulator with said one or more stimulation parameters;
generating a stimulus configured to treat said ischemia pain with said stimulator in accordance with said one or more stimulation parameters; and
applying said stimulus with said stimulator to a stimulation site within said patient;
wherein said stimulation site comprises at least one or more of a vascular tissue of said visceral organ and a nerve innervating said vascular tissue of said visceral organ.

17. A system for treating a patient with ischemia pain, said system comprising:
-
a stimulator configured to generate at least one stimulus in accordance with one or more stimulation parameters adjusted to treat ischemia pain in a visceral organ; a programmable memory unit in communication with said stimulator and programmed to store said one or more stimulation parameters to at least partially define said stimulus such that said stimulus is configured to treat said ischemia pain; and means, operably connected to said stimulator, for applying said stimulus to a stimulation site within said patient; wherein said stimulation site comprises at least one or more of a vascular tissue of said visceral organ and a nerve innervating said vascular tissue of said visceral organ. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
