Abstract:
Systems and methods for spinal cord electrode placement and spinal cord stimulation their use for treatment of conditions such as obesity are disclosed. In one example approach, during placement of a spinal cord stimulating electrode in a target region of the brain of a patient, a temperature of brown adipose tissue may be monitored, e.g., via a supraclavicular temperature sensor implanted in the patient, and used to identify an optimal location of electrode stimulation which causes an increase in BAT temperature. Additionally, BAT temperature measurements may be used to provide regulated closed-loop control to increase efficiency of spinal cord stimulation while reducing energy consumption of the pulse generator. Further, core temperature measurements may be obtained from the electrode in the spinal cord and used to adjust spinal cord stimulation.

Claim (Index 17):
The method of  claim 16 , wherein the operational parameters comprise an activation configuration of electrode contacts.
