The invention is directed to a recharging system and associated techniques
to recharge an implantable medical device (IMD). In particular, a
recharging system according to the invention comprises a headset having
an energy delivery module that delivers energy to a power source of an
IMD implanted on or within the cranium of a patient. The energy delivery
module may comprise a coil for inductive transfer of energy to the power
source. The headset may be configured for placement over the head of the
patient, and may further only partially cover the top of the head. The
energy delivery module may be adjustably coupled to the headset. In some
embodiments, the position of the energy delivery module may be adjusted
along three or four axes, including a rotational axis, allowing the coil
to be placed over an IMD located at any of a variety of locations on or
within the cranium.
