An apparatus, a system and methods for modulating and monitoring tissue have an elongate member with proximal and distal ends and a plurality of annular stimulating electrodes axially arranged along the elongate member. The stimulating electrodes are disposed near the distal end and are adapted to pass current into tissue. At least one of the annular stimulating electrodes has at least three independent stimulation points on the electrode. The apparatus also includes a plurality of recording electrodes that are adapted to measure local tissue potentials and a plurality of conductors are coupled with the recording and stimulating electrodes. An optional multiple contact connecting terminal may be coupled with the conductors and is disposed near the proximal end of the elongate member.

L'invention concerne un appareil, un système et des procédés de modulation et de surveillance de tissus. Le système présente un élément allongé possédant des extrémités proximale et distale, ainsi qu'une pluralité d'électrodes de stimulation annulaires axialement agencées le long de l'élément allongé. Les électrodes de stimulation sont disposées près de l'extrémité distale et sont conçues pour faire passer du courant dans les tissus. Au moins une des électrodes de stimulation annulaires présente au moins trois points de stimulation indépendants sur l'électrode. L'appareil comprend également une pluralité d'électrodes d'enregistrement qui sont conçues pour mesurer des potentiels de tissus locaux et une pluralité de conducteurs est couplée aux électrodes de stimulation et d'enregistrement. Une partie terminale de connexion de contacts multiples éventuelle peut être couplée aux conducteurs et est disposée près de l'extrémité proximale de l'élément allongé.
