Abstract:
1. A neurostimulation system, comprising: a plurality of electrical terminals configured for being respectively coupled to a plurality of electrodes; analog output circuitry configured for delivering electrical pulses to the electrical terminals; and control circuitry configured for controlling the analog output circuitry to deliver a plurality of first electrical pulses to a first set of the electrical terminals, the first electrical pulses having a first polarity, to deliver at least a second electrical pulse having a second polarity opposite to the first polarity to a second set of the electrical terminals during the deliverance of each of the first electrical pulses, wherein the at least a second electrical pulse is configured for therapeutically stimulating tissue of the patient, and to deliver at least a third electrical pulse having the second polarity to a third set of the electrical terminals during the deliverance of each of the first electrical pulses, wherein the at least a second electrical pulse and the at least a third electrical pulse are temporarily offset from each other.
