| 摘要 |
In some examples, relatively low frequency (e.g., less than about 50 Hertz) electrical stimulation therapy is delivered to a target tissue site proximate to one or more of the T9, T10, T11, T12, L1, L2, or L3 (“T9-L3”) spinal nerves of a patient to manage a pelvic floor disorder, such as urinary retention, fecal retention, or both. The relatively low frequency electrical stimulation therapy is configured to excite the one or more of the T9-L3 spinal nerves, which may generate an activating response from the patient related to voiding and help promote voiding by the patient. For example, the low frequency electrical stimulation may be configured to help improve the patient's pelvic sensations, which may help the patient better control urination. |

1. A method comprising:
with a processor, controlling a stimulation generator to deliver electrical stimulation to one or more tissue sites proximate to one or more of a T9 spinal nerve, a T10 spinal nerve, a T11 spinal nerve, a T12 spinal nerve, a L1 spinal nerve, a L2 spinal nerve, or a L3 spinal nerve of a patient to generate an activating response related to voiding. |
