Abstract:
1. A method of treating a disorder in a patient using stimulation kit having a first tissue stimulation lead comprising a first elongated body, a first stimulation element, and a coupling mechanism longitudinally extending along at least a portion of the first elongated body, and a second tissue stimulation lead comprising a second elongated body, a second stimulation element, and a complementary coupling mechanism configured to slidably engage the first coupling mechanism, the method comprising: delivering the first stimulation lead into an epidural space of the patient's spine; and delivering the second stimulation lead into the epidural space by sliding the complementary coupling mechanism along the coupling mechanism, such that the proximal end of the first elongated body extends from the opening in the patient's back, and the second elongated body is entirely received within the patient's spine.
