Patent attributes
Devices, systems and methods are provided for stimulating a target tissue, particularly a dorsal root ganglion. The devices and systems have one or more electrodes, wherein the electrodes are positionable in disperse locations within the specific target area. In some embodiments, the position of at least some of the electrodes is adjustable and optionally independently positionable. Some or all of the electrodes may be used to stimulate the desired tissue, such as to stimulate a specific portion of the target area. Or, the one or more electrodes that fall near the target tissue may be used to stimulate the tissue while the other electrodes are not used. When stimulating the dorsal root ganglion, sensory pain signals are blocked providing relief to the patient.
