Zusammenfassung:	Aspects of the present disclosure are directed toward apparatuses, systems, and methods for delivering therapy to an adrenal gland of a patient. The apparatuses, systems, and methods may include a lead body that attaches to a portion of the adrenal gland of the patient; and a plurality of electrodes arranged along the lead body. In addition, one or more of the plurality of electrodes may deliver stimulation energy to modulate catecholamine release from chromaffin cells within the adrenal gland.
