Abstract

High frequency stimulation for treating sensory and/or motor deficits in patients with spinal cord injuries and/or peripheral polyneuropathy, and associated systems and methods. A representative method includes addressing the patient's somatosensory dysfunction and/or motor dysfunction, resulting from neuropathy and/or spinal cord injury, by directing an electrical therapy signal to the patient's spinal cord region, the therapy signal having a frequency in a frequency range from 1.5 kHz to 100 kHz.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
I/We claim: 
     
         1 . A method for treating a patient, comprising:
 addressing the patient's diabetic neuropathy by directing an electrical therapy signal to the patient's spinal cord region, wherein the therapy signal has a frequency in a frequency range from 1.5 kHz to 100 kHz, and wherein addressing the patient's diabetic neuropathy includes at least partially restoring sensory loss in the patient.
