Transverse tripolar spinal cord stimulation: Theoretical performance of a dual channel system

Transverse Tripolar Stimulation for Selective Fns

.4bstruct Various anode-cathode configurations in a nerve cujf were modeled in ordcr to optimize its spatial selectivity characterktics for FNS. Apart from usual configurations (nronopole, bipole, longitudinal tripole, “steering” anode), a transverse t r ipoh configuration (cenfral cathode) was examined The model predicrions were verified bey mute animal experiments. It is concluded that a tran...

Efficacy of transverse tripolar spinal cord stimulator for the relief of chronic low back pain from failed back surgery.

BACKGROUND Failed back surgery syndrome is a common clinical entity for which spinal cord stimulation has been found to be an effective mode of analgesia, but with variable success rates. OBJECTIVE To determine if focal stimulation of the dorsal columns with a transverse tripolar lead might achieve deeper penetration of the electrical stimulus into the spinal cord and therefore provide greate...
