The present invention relates to controlling the electrical conditions of tissue, for example for use in suppressing artefact to enable improved measurement of a response to a stimulus, such as measurement of a compound action potential by using one or more electrodes implanted proximal to a neural pathway.
Neuromodulation is used to treat a variety of disorders including chronic pain, Parkinson's disease, and migraine. A neuromodulation system applies an electrical pulse to tissue in order to generate a therapeutic effect. When used to relieve chronic pain, the electrical pulse is applied to the dorsal column (DC) of the spinal cord or dorsal root ganglion (DRG). Such a system typically comprises an implanted electrical pulse generator, and a power source such as a battery that may be rechargeable by transcutaneous inductive transfer. An electrode array is connected to the pulse generator, and is positioned in the dorsal epidural space above the dorsal column. An electrical pulse applied to the dorsal column by an electrode causes the depolarisation of neurons, and generation of propagating action potentials. The fibres being stimulated in this way inhibit the transmission of pain from that segment in the spinal cord to the brain.
While the clinical effect of spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is well established, the precise mechanisms involved are poorly understood. The DC is the target of the electrical stimulation, as it contains the afferent Aβ fibres of interest. Aβ fibres mediate sensations of touch, vibration and pressure from the skin. The prevailing view is that SCS stimulates only a small number of Aβ fibres in the DC. The pain relief mechanisms of SCS are thought to include evoked antidromic activity of Aβ fibres having an inhibitory effect, and evoked orthodromic activity of Aβ fibres playing a role in pain suppression. It is also thought that SCS recruits Aβ nerve fibres primarily in the DC, with antidromic propagation of the evoked response from the DC into the dorsal horn thought to synapse to wide dynamic range neurons in an inhibitory manner.
Neuromodulation may also be used to stimulate efferent fibres, for example to induce motor functions. In general, the electrical stimulus generated in a neuromodulation system triggers a neural action potential which then has either an inhibitory or excitatory effect. Inhibitory effects can be used to modulate an undesired process such as the transmission of pain, or to cause a desired effect such as the contraction of a muscle.
The action potentials generated among a large number of fibres sum to form a compound action potential (CAP). The CAP is the sum of responses from a large number of single fibre action potentials. The CAP recorded is the result of a large number of different fibres depolarising. The propagation velocity is determined largely by the fibre diameter and for large myelinated fibres as found in the dorsal root entry zone (DREZ) and nearby dorsal column the velocity can be over 60 ms−1. The CAP generated from the firing of a group of similar fibres is measured as a positive peak potential P1, then a negative peak N1, followed by a second positive peak P2. This is caused by the region of activation passing the recording electrode as the action potentials propagate along the individual fibres.
To better understand the effects of neuromodulation and/or other neural stimuli, it is desirable to record a CAP resulting from the stimulus. However, this can be a difficult task as an observed CAP signal will typically have a maximum amplitude in the range of microvolts, whereas a stimulus applied to evoke the CAP is typically several volts. Electrode artefact usually results from the stimulus, and manifests as a decaying output of several millivolts throughout the time that the CAP occurs, presenting a significant obstacle to isolating the CAP of interest. Some neuromodulators use monophasic pulses and have capacitors to ensure there is no DC flow to the tissue. In such a design, current flows through the electrodes at all times, either stimulation current or equilibration current, hindering spinal cord potential (SCP) measurement attempts. The capacitor recovers charge at the highest rate immediately after the stimulus, undesirably causing greatest artefact at the same time that the evoked response occurs.
To resolve a 10 uV SCP with 1 uV resolution in the presence of an input 5V stimulus, for example, requires an amplifier with a dynamic range of 134 dB, which is impractical in implant systems. As the neural response can be contemporaneous with the stimulus and/or the stimulus artefact, CAP measurements present a difficult challenge of amplifier design. In practice, many non-ideal aspects of a circuit lead to artefact, and as these mostly have a decaying exponential appearance that can be of positive or negative polarity, their identification and elimination can be laborious.
A number of approaches have been proposed for recording a CAP. King (U.S. Pat. No. 5,913,882) measures the spinal cord potential (SCP) using electrodes which are physically spaced apart from the stimulus site. To avoid amplifier saturation during the stimulus artefact period, recording starts at least 1-2.5 ms after the stimulus. At typical neural conduction velocities, this requires that the measurement electrodes be spaced around 10 cm or more away from the stimulus site, which is undesirable as the measurement then necessarily occurs in a different spinal segment and may be of reduced amplitude.
Nygard (U.S. Pat. No. 5,785,651) measures the evoked CAP upon an auditory nerve in the cochlea, and aims to deal with artefacts by a sequence which comprises: (1) equilibrating electrodes by short circuiting stimulus electrodes and a sense electrode to each other; (2) applying a stimulus via the stimulus electrodes, with the sense electrode being open circuited from both the stimulus electrodes and from the measurement circuitry; (3) a delay, in which the stimulus electrodes are switched to open circuit and the sense electrode remains open circuited; and (4) measuring, by switching the sense electrode into the measurement circuitry. Nygard also teaches a method of nulling the amplifier following the stimulus. This sets a bias point for the amplifier during the period following stimulus, when the electrode is not in equilibrium. As the bias point is reset each cycle, it is susceptible to noise. The Nygard measurement amplifier is a differentiator during the nulling phase which makes it susceptible to pickup from noise and input transients when a non-ideal amplifier with finite gain and bandwidth is used for implementation.
Daly (US Patent Application No. 2007/0225767) utilizes a biphasic stimulus plus a third phase “compensatory” stimulus which is refined via feedback to counter stimulus artefact. As for Nygard, Daly's focus is the cochlea. Daly's measurement sequence comprises (1) a quiescent phase where stimulus and sense electrodes are switched to Vdd; (2) applying the stimulus and then the compensatory phase, while the sense electrodes are open circuited from both the stimulus electrodes and from the measurement circuitry; (3) a load settling phase of about 1 μs in which the stimulus electrodes and sense electrodes are shorted to Vdd; and (4) measurement, with stimulus electrodes open circuited from Vdd and from the current source, and with sense electrodes switched to the measurement circuitry. However a 1 μs load settling period is too short for equilibration of electrodes which typically have a time constant of around 100 μs. Further, connecting the sense electrodes to Vdd pushes charge onto the sense electrodes, exacerbating the very problem the circuit is designed to address.
Evoked responses are less difficult to detect when they appear later in time than the artefact, or when the signal-to-noise ratio is sufficiently high. The artefact is often restricted to a time of 1-2 ms after the stimulus and so, provided the neural response is detected after this time window, data can be obtained. This is the case in surgical monitoring where there are large distances between the stimulating and recording electrodes so that the propagation time from the stimulus site to the recording electrodes exceeds 2 ms.
Because of the unique anatomy and tighter coupling in the cochlea, cochlear implants use small stimulation currents relative to the tens of mA sometimes required for SCS, and thus measured signals in cochlear systems present a relatively lower artefact. To characterize the responses from the dorsal columns, high stimulation currents and close proximity between electrodes are required. Moreover, when using closely spaced electrodes both for stimulus and for measurement the measurement process must overcome artefact directly, in contrast to existing “surgical monitoring” techniques involving measurement electrode(s) which are relatively distant from the stimulus electrode(s).

It is not to be taken as an admission that any or all of these matters form part of the prior art base or were common general knowledge in the field relevant to the present invention as it existed before the priority date of each claim of this application.
Throughout this specification the word “comprise”, or variations such as “comprises” or “comprising”, will be understood to imply the inclusion of a stated element, integer or step, or group of elements, integers or steps, but not the exclusion of any other element, integer or step, or group of elements, integers or steps.
In this specification, a statement that an element may be “at least one of” a list of options is to be understood that the element may be any one of the listed options, or may be any combination of two or more of the listed options.
According to a first aspect the present invention provides a method for controlling electrical conditions of tissue, the method comprising:
According to a second aspect the present invention provides a method for measuring a neural response to a stimulus, the method comprising:
According to a third aspect the present invention provides an implantable device for controlling electrical conditions of tissue, the device comprising:
In some embodiments the device of the third aspect may be further configured for measuring a neural response to a stimulus, and may further comprise: one or more nominal stimulus electrodes; one or more nominal sense electrodes; a stimulus source for providing a stimulus to be delivered from the one or more stimulus electrodes to neural tissue; measurement circuitry for amplifying a neural signal sensed at the one or more sense electrodes; and a control unit configured to apply an electrical stimulus to the neural tissue from the stimulus electrode and obtain a measurement of a neural response from the measurement electrode.
In some embodiments of the second and third aspects of the invention the feedback amplifier may be disconnected during application of a neural stimulus by disconnecting the feedback sense electrode from the feedback amplifier and/or by disconnecting an output of the feedback amplifier from the compensation electrode. Alternatively, during application of the neural stimulus, for example during the entire period of stimulation, the feedback amplifier may operate and be in connection with the feedback sense electrode and compensation electrode.
In preferred embodiments, the feedback sense electrode and the measurement electrode are located outside the dipole formed by the stimulus electrode and the compensating electrode. In such embodiments the operation of the feedback amplifier acts to spatially shield the measurement electrode from the stimulus field, noting that the voltage at points between the poles of a dipole is comparable to the voltage on the electrodes, whereas outside the dipole the voltage drops with the square of distance.
Preferred embodiments of the invention may thus reduce artefact by reducing interaction between the stimulus and the measurement recording via a measurement amplifier input capacitance.
Some embodiments of the invention may utilise a blanking circuit for blanking the measurement amplifier during and/or close in time to the application of a stimulus. However, alternative embodiments may utilise an unblanked measurement amplifier, which connects a measurement electrode to an analog-to-digital circuit, significantly reducing complexity in the measurement signal chain.
The desired electrical value may be zero voltage, i.e. electrical ground. The electrical ground may be referenced to a patient ground electrode distal from the array such as a device body electrode, or to a device ground. Driving the feedback signal to ground will thus act to counteract any non-zero stimulus artefact produced by application of the stimulus.
In alternative embodiments a non-zero voltage may in some circumstances be desired in the tissue and the feedback amplifier may thus be referenced to a non-zero electrical value in such embodiments.
The electrodes are preferably part of a single electrode array, and are physically substantially identical whereby any electrode of the array may serve as any one of the nominal electrodes at a given time. Alternatively the electrodes may be separately formed, and not in a single array, while being individually positioned proximal to the tissue of interest.
In preferred embodiments of the invention, the feedback sense electrode, compensation electrode, stimulus electrode and sense electrode are selected from an implanted electrode array. The electrode array may for example comprise a linear array of electrodes arranged in a single column along the array. Alternatively the electrode array may comprise a two dimensional array having two or more columns of electrodes arranged along the array. Preferably, each electrode of the electrode array is provided with an associated measurement amplifier, to avoid the need to switch the sense electrode(s) to a shared measurement amplifier, as such switching can add to measurement artefact. Providing a dedicated measurement amplifier for each sense electrode is further advantageous in permitting recordings to be obtained from multiple sense electrodes simultaneously.
In the first through third aspects of the invention, the measurement may be a single-ended measurement obtained by passing a signal from a single sense electrode to a single-ended amplifier. Alternatively, the measurement may be a differential measurement obtained by passing signals from two measurement electrodes to a differential amplifier. A single stimulus electrode may apply monopolar stimulus referenced to a distal reference point such as an implant case body, alternatively two stimulus electrodes may be used to apply bipolar stimuli, or three stimulus electrodes may be used to apply a tripolar stimulus for example using on stimulus electrode as a cathode and two stimulus electrodes as anodes, and vice versa. The stimulus may be monophasic, biphasic, or otherwise.
Embodiments of the invention may prove beneficial in obtaining a CAP measurement which has lower dynamic range and simpler morphology as compared to systems more susceptible to artefact. Such embodiments of the present invention may thus reduce the dynamic range requirements of implanted amplifiers, and may avoid or reduce the complexity of signal processing systems for feature extraction, simplifying and miniaturizing an implanted integrated circuit. Such embodiments may thus be particularly applicable for an automated implanted evoked response feedback system for stimulus control.
According to another aspect the present invention provides a computer program product comprising computer program code means to make an implanted processor execute a procedure for controlling electrical conditions of neural tissue, the computer program product comprising computer program code means for carrying out the method of the first or second aspect.
According to a further aspect the present invention provides a computer readable storage medium, excluding signals, loaded with computer program code means to make an implanted processor execute a procedure for controlling electrical conditions of neural tissue, the computer readable storage medium loaded with computer program code means for carrying out the method of the first or second aspect.
The present invention recognises that when considering spinal cord stimulation, obtaining information about the activity within the spinal segment where stimulation is occurring is highly desirable. Observing the activity and extent of propagation both above (rostrally of) and below (caudally of) the level of stimulation is also highly desirable. The present invention recognises that in order to record the evoked activity within the same spinal segment as the stimulus requires an evoked potential recording system which is capable of recording an SCP within approximately 3 cm of its source, i.e. within approximately 0.3 ms of the stimulus, and further recognises that in order to record the evoked activity using the same electrode array as applied the stimulus requires an evoked potential recording system which is capable of recording an SCP within approximately 7 cm of its source, i.e. within approximately 0.7 ms of the stimulus.
In some embodiments the method of the present invention may be applied to measurement of other bioelectrical signals, such as muscle potentials. The method of the present invention may be applicable to any measurement of any voltage within tissue during or after stimulation, and where the stimulation may obscure the voltage being measured. Such situations include the measurement of evoked spinal cord potentials, potentials evoked local to an electrode during deep brain stimulation (DBS), the measurement of EEGs during deep brain stimulation (where the source of the potential is distant from the stimulating electrodes), the measurement of signals in the heart (ECGs) by a pacemaker, the measurement of voltages in stimulated muscles (EMGs), and the measurement of EMGs triggered by the stimulation of distant and controlling nervous tissue.
An example of the invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
The stimulus 202 induces a voltage on adjacent electrodes, referred to as stimulus crosstalk 204. Where the stimuli 202 are SCP stimuli they typically induce a voltage 204 in the range of about 1-5 V on a SCP sense electrode.
The stimulus 202 also induces electrode artefact. The mechanism of artefact production can be considered as follows. The stimulus crosstalk can be modelled as a voltage, with an equivalent output impedance. In a human spinal cord, this impedance is typically around 500 ohms per electrode, but will be larger or smaller in different applications. This resistance has little effect in the circuit, but is included for completeness. The stimulus crosstalk drives the measurement amplifiers through the electrode/tissue interface. This interface is shown in
The electrode artefact is the response of the electrode/tissue interface, when driven by the stimulus crosstalk and loaded by the capacitance and resistance at the amplifier input. It can be observed, either with a circuit simulator or in a laboratory. It can also be observed that the sign of the artefact is opposite for capacitive and resistive loading. Electrical artefact usually also arises from the behaviour of the amplifier circuitry in response to these particular circumstances.
It is possible to reduce artefact by reducing the loading on the electrode, however in practical situations there are limits to how low this capacitance can be made. Increasing the electrode surface area also decreases artefact but again in practical situations there will be limits to the electrode size. Artefact can also be reduced by adding resistance or capacitance to the amplifier input relying on the opposite sign of the artefact produced by these terms. However, this only works to a limited extent, and changing the size of the electrode changes the size of the required compensation components which makes it difficult to make a general purpose amplifier that can be connected to a range of electrodes. One can also reduce artefact by reducing the size of the stimulus crosstalk, and this is the aim of the virtual ground circuit embodiment of this invention shown in
Referring again to
In practical implementation a measurement amplifier used to measure the evoked response does not have infinite bandwidth, and will normally have infinite impulse response filter poles, and so the stimulus crosstalk 204 will produce an output 208 during the evoked response 206, this output being referred to as electrical artefact.
Electrical artefact can be in the hundreds of millivolts as compared to a SCP of interest in the tens of microvolts. Electrical artefact can however be somewhat reduced by suitable choice of a high-pass filter pole frequency.
The measurement amplifier output 210 will therefore contain the sum of these various contributions 202-208. Separating the evoked response of interest (206) from the artefacts 204 and 208 is a significant technical challenge. For example, to resolve a 10 μV SCP with 1 μV resolution, and have at the input a 5V stimulus, requires an amplifier with a dynamic range of 134 dB. As the response can overlap the stimulus this represents a difficult challenge of amplifier design.
As shown in
An equivalent circuit of
The voltage caused by the current stimulus travels at the speed of light in the tissue medium, whereas an evoked action potential in the neural tissue travels at around 60 m/s. When the feedback sense electrode is subject to (or senses) the evoked response it will cancel the stimulus crosstalk in the tissue, but due to the larger propagation delay, the voltages produced by the evoked response at different electrodes (such as the measurement electrodes) will differ, and can be recorded. It will simply be the voltage that would otherwise by recorded as the difference between the measurement electrode and the feedback sense electrode. Alternatively, the sense electrode can be placed elsewhere in the tissue further from the stimulus electrode(s), and substantially no cancellation of the evoked response will then occur, although the electrode will be subject to other electrical signals in the body from muscles, and other nerve bundles. This might be the situation when the sense electrode is on the body of an implant, with the stimulating electrodes on a lead.
The circuit of
In principle, the virtual ground circuit of the embodiment of
Referring to
As shown in
The FETs Q902 and Q903 in
In a first mode of operation in accordance with some embodiments of the invention, at the end of stimulation the stimulation electrodes are both disconnected. The bath (or subject) is floating at this point, as there is no connection between the bath and the circuit ground. Since the amplifiers are all differential, taking the difference between the reference electrode and the other epidural electrodes will compensate for any change in voltage. This mode of operation reflects the logic that other choices of which electrode to ground seem likely to worsen artefact: connecting a stimulation electrode will cause the bath potential to change as the electrode voltage settles; connecting an epidural electrode to GND might put a transient on it which would be seen on all the channels.
In a second mode of operation of other embodiments of the invention, the VG circuit remains active after the stimulation, which makes the bioelectrical situation quite different. The voltage on the compensation electrode will change as the electrode potentials settle, but the VG loop will compensate for this so it will not affect the bath potential. At the same time, the VG circuit can hold the bath at a fixed voltage—GND. The VG circuit will attempt to keep the epidural space at a static voltage, namely GND.
In another embodiment, the present invention is implemented in an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC). The primary difference that is encountered in an ASIC implementation is that whereas most PCB amplifiers and components are intended for split supply operation, most ASIC designs, especially one intended for implantable operation, will operate from a single supply. Also, in an ASIC, the desire to produce a low-cost design is increased, as an ASIC implementation would be preferable for commercial exploitation.
The switched connections directly to VDDH and GND allow stimulation modes that do not use the virtual ground amplifier. In the design of
Thus a problem in an ASIC implementation is to provide the virtual ground amplifier with sufficient current capability to balance the current source; this takes considerable silicon area which incurs cost. Noting that both positive and negative current sources are available in the ASIC, the present embodiment thus uses the circuit of
It will be appreciated by persons skilled in the art that numerous variations and/or modifications may be made to the invention as shown in the specific embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention as broadly described. For example while application of the method to neural stimulation is described, it is to be appreciated that the techniques described in this patent apply in other situations involving measurement of a voltage within tissue during or after stimulation.
The present embodiments are, therefore, to be considered in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive.
