DEVICE AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING SPINAL CORD STIMULATION EFFICACY
First Claim
1. A method for determining an efficacy of spinal cord stimulation (SCS) treatment in a subject with chronic pain, the method comprising:
- providing a first set of at least one stimulus to the subject;
obtaining first measurements of at least two physiological parameters in response to the first set of at least one stimulus;
providing SCS treatment to the subject;
providing a second set of at least one stimulus to the subject;
obtaining second measurements of the at least two physiological parameters in response to the second set of at least one stimulus and the SCS treatment; and
determining an efficacy of the SCS treatment by applying a classification algorithm on the first and second measurements of the at least two physiological parameters, obtained in response to the first and second set of at least one stimulus, respectively.

18. A method for calibrating spinal cord stimulation (SCS) treatment in a subject, the method comprising:
-
providing a SCS treatment being characterized by at least one SCS parameter; varying a value of one SCS parameters along a dynamic range thereof; obtaining measurements of at least two physiological parameters in response to varying the value of the one SCS parameter along the dynamic range thereof; determining an efficacy of the SCS treatment along the dynamic range of the varied SCS parameter by applying a classification algorithm to the at least two physiological parameters obtained in response to varying the one SCS parameter along the dynamic range thereof; and selecting the value of the one SCS parameter yielding the highest efficacy. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21)
