Selectivity of Lateral Epidural Spinal Cord Stimulation with Varying Electrode Diameters and Stimulation Configurations

Gilgal Justice Ansah, Matteo Del Brocco, Sauradeep Bhowmick, Manuel A Duran, Chaitanya Gopinath, Maria Jantz, Scott F. Lempka, Lee E. Fisher

This study evaluates how electrode size and stimulation configurations affect nerve selectivity in spinal cord stimulation, finding that 500 µm electrodes provide the best selectivity.

Functional Somatotopy of Lumbar Dorsal Rootlets and its Role in Selective Recruitment via Lateral Spinal Cord Stimulation

Matteo Del Brocco, Gilgal Justice Ansah, Manuel Durán, Sauradeep Bhowmick, Chaitanya Gopinath, Maria Jantz, Rohit Bose, Scott F. Lempka, Lee E. Fisher

This study shows that lateral spinal cord stimulation (LSCS) selectivity is limited by the coarse organization of lumbar dorsal rootlets, not electrode design, and suggests improving electrode placement may enhance percept localization.
