Abstract

Some embodiments of the present invention provide stimulation systems and components for selective stimulation and/or neuromodulation of one or more dorsal root ganglia through implantation of an electrode on, in or around a dorsal root ganglia. Some other embodiments of the present invention provide methods for selective neurostimulation of one or more dorsal root ganglia as well as techniques for applying neurostimulation to the spinal cord. Still other embodiments of the present invention provide stimulation systems and components for selective stimulation and/or neuromodulation of one or more dorsal root ganglia through implantation of an electrode on, in or around a dorsal root ganglia in combination with a pharmacological agent.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method of stimulating a dorsal root ganglion of a patient, comprising:
 implanting at least one electrode in proximity to the dorsal root; and   activating the at least one electrode to selectively stimulate at least a portion of the dorsal root ganglion to create paresthesia in an area of the patient's body.
