Spinal cord modulation for inducing paresthetic and anesthetic effects, and associated systems and methods
First Claim
1. A patient treatment system, comprising:
- an implantable pulse generator coupleable to an implantable signal delivery device and having a controller programmed with instructions for;
directing a first, non-paresthesia generating electrical signal to the implantable signal delivery device to create an anesthetic effect in a patient, the first electrical signal having a first set of first signal delivery parameters, including a frequency in a frequency range from 1.5 kHz to 100 kHz, and a pulse width in a pulse width range of 10 microseconds to 333 microseconds; and
directing a second electrical signal to the signal delivery device, the second electrical signal having a second set of second signal delivery parameters, including a frequency in a frequency range from 2 Hz to 1.2 kHz.

Abstract
Spinal cord modulation for inducing paresthetic and anesthetic effects, and associated systems and methods are disclosed. A representative method in accordance with an embodiment of the disclosure includes creating a therapeutic effect and a sensation in a patient by delivering to the patient first pulses having a first set of first signal delivery parameters and second pulses having a second set of second signal delivery parameters, wherein a first value of at least one first parameter of the first set is different than a second value of a corresponding second parameter of the second set, and wherein the first pulses, the second pulses or both the first and second pulses are delivered to the patient'"'"'s spinal cord.
