EP 54. Modeling the effects of current steering with directional leads

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) systems differ in designs and stimulation abilities. New developments in DBS are focusing on enabling directional stimulation capabilities that may possibly activate targets with greater specificity. We sought to use computational modeling to demonstrate that combining directional leads with Multiple Independent Current Control (MICC) may offer additional control over the shape of the Volume of Tissue Activated (VTA) using proposed lead designs from three different manufacturers.
