Differences among implanted pulse generator waveforms cause variations in the neural response to deep brain stimulation

Abstract: Objective-Two different Medtronic implantable pulse generator (IPG) models are currently used in clinical applications of deep brain stimulation (DBS): Soletra and Kinetra. The goal of this study was to evaluate and compare the stimulation waveforms produced by each IPG model. Methods-We recorded waveforms from a broad range of stimulation parameter settings in each IPG model, and compared them to idealized waveforms that adhered to the parameters specified in the programming device. We then used a previously … Show more

“…Before implementing the settings into the model, the electric potential settings were normalized from 4 to 3.5 V, and from 2 to 1.7 V according to the voltage threshold correction factors for the Medtronic Kinetra neurostimulation system (Medtronic, Inc. USA) [29] . The distribution of the electric potential in the vicinity of the electrodes was calculated using the equation for steady currents [30] .…”

“…Changes in tissue properties may also alter threshold stimulation amplitudes for axons and the amplitude of the LFP, however this would remain a numerical scaling since the volume conductor is assumed to be piecewise homogeneous. Further errors in the axonal activation common to all networks could be caused by non-idealities in the stimulation waveform, which have not been considered here [57]. Finally synaptic changes due to DBS have been hypothesized by closed-loop modeling studies [58], but were neglected in this study and may have implications for controller tuning if the effective coupling strength were to change.…”
