Реферат: The present invention is generally directed to a lead anchor (100) for a neuromodulation comprising: a solid anchor block (5) having at least one opening (9) and a lumen (6), wherein said opening (9) is connected with said lumen (6) and has a longitudinal axis (L1), and wherein said lumen (6) is configured to receive a portion of the neuromodulation lead; an anchor body (4) at least partially covering said anchor block (5); and a fixing element (10) having a fastening portion (16) and a head portion (2). To achieve a lead anchor (100) which is more robust against axially acting forces, so that primarily a slippage of the lead or a slippage of the lead anchor (100) can be prevented, the fastening portion (16) is configured to be inserted along the axis (L1) into said opening (9) to fix the portion of the neuromodulation lead, wherein said head portion (2) comprises at least one first stop feature (18) having a dimension (D4) in a radial direction (R1) with respect to said axis (L1) which is greater than a diameter (D1) of said opening (9).
