Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A system including a processor configured to be coupled to an electrical lead that is configured to sense electrical activity in a patient, a memory coupled to the processor, the memory containing computer readable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to detect a pain signature in the sensed electrical activity, determine a treatment protocol in response to the detected pain signature, and cause the treatment protocol to be delivered to the patient via the electrical lead.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A system configured to treat peripheral pain, the system comprising: a processor configured to be coupled to an electrical lead operably coupled to an electrode configured to sense electrical activity in a patient, the processor configured to: detect a pain signature associated with peripheral nerve damage in the sensed electrical activity; determine a treatment protocol in response to the detected pain signature; and cause the treatment protocol to be…
