Abstract:
1. A method for treating a neurological disorder in a patient, the method comprising the steps of: implanting a device in the body of the patient; implanting a plurality of electrodes in the body of the patient, wherein each of the plurality of electrodes is coupled to the device; detecting, by at least one of a plurality of detection channels, a neurological event of interest in a monitored electrographic signal of a patient, the plurality of detection channels including at least one triggering detection channel that is configured to derive signal timing for delivering a selected therapy when a parameter is detected, the parameter being associated with the triggering detection channel and corresponding to an electrographic measurement, a characteristic of the neurological event of interest being represented by the electrographic measurement; analyzing the parameter measured by the implantable device; selecting a therapy from a plurality of therapies based at least in part on the parameter; determining a timing of the therapy based at least in part on the parameter; and applying the selected therapy to the patient in synchronization with the neurological event of interest based at least in part on the parameter.
