It has been discovered that pain felt in a given region of the body can be treated, not by motor point stimulation of muscle in the local region where pain is felt, but by stimulating muscle close to a "nerve of passage" in a region that is supe-rior (i.e., cranial or upstream toward the spinal column) to the region where pain is felt. Spinal nerves such as the intercostal nerves or nerves passing through a nerve plexus, which comprise trunks that divide by divisions and/or cords into branches, comprise "nerves of passage."
Selon la présente invention, il a été découvert que la douleur ressentie dans une région donnée du corps peut être traitée, non pas par stimulation de point moteur d'un muscle dans la région locale où la douleur est ressentie, mais par stimulation musculaire à proximité d'un « nerf de passage » dans une région qui est supérieure (c'est-à-dire, crânienne ou en amont vers la colonne vertébrale) à la région où la douleur est ressentie. Des nerfs rachidiens tels que les nerfs intercostaux ou les nerfs traversant un plexus nerveux, qui comprennent des troncs qui se divisent par des divisions et/ou des cordons dans des branches, constituent des « nerfs de passage ».
