SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CURRENT STEERING NEUROSTIMULATION
First Claim
1. A method for current steering a neurostimulation signal delivered by an implantable pulse generator (IPG) between a plurality of electrodes coupled to the IPG toward tissue of interest, the method comprising:
- programming the IPG to deliver at least a first pulse train to a first electrode and a second pulse train to a second electrode, wherein the first and second pulse trains are interleaved with one another such that the first and second pulse trains form an activation current density (ACD) distribution steered to overlay the tissue of interest.

Abstract
A system and method for current steering a neurostimulation signal is provided. The system and method provide a lead coupled to an implantable pulse generator (IPG). The lead may include a plurality of electrodes. The lead may be configured to be implanted at a target position proximate to tissue of interest. The system and method program the IPG to deliver at least a first pulse train to a first electrode and a second pulse train to a second electrode. The first and second pulse trains are interleaved with one another such that the first and second pulse trains form an activation current density distribution steered to overlay the tissue of interest.

15. A system for current steering a neurostimulation signal comprising:
-
a lead configured to be implanted at a target position proximate to or within a tissue of interest; a plurality of electrodes on a surface of the lead; and an implantable pulse generator (IPG) coupled to the lead, the IPG configured to deliver at least a first pulse train to a first electrode and a second pulse train to a second electrode, wherein the first and second pulse trains are interleaved with one another such that the first and second pulse trains form an activation current density (ACD) distribution steered to overlay the tissue of interest. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
