Abstract
Devices and methods for providing neurostimulation to a patient, particularly in trial systems assessing suitability of a permanently implanted neurostimulation. Such trial systems can utilize a trial neurostimulation lead that includes a coiled conductor coupled to a proximal contact connector that is coupled with an external pulse generator. The trial neurostimulation lead can be a coiled conductor of a closed wound configuration that can be stretched to form an open coil portion or gaps between adjacent coils to provide more resistance to migration or regression of the lead.
