APPARATUS FOR TRANSCUTANEOUS ELECTRICAL STIMULATION OF THE TIBIAL NERVE |
摘要 |
An electro-acupuncture device for controlling over active bladder is described. The device includes a housing, circuitry for generating electro-acupuncture stimulus disposed within the housing, and at least one strap for securing the housing to the ankle. The device also includes a pair of D-shaped electrodes received within the bottom outer surface of the housing. The housing of the device is flexible with a low profile and is shaped so that it is conformal to a person's ankle. When the device is strapped to a patient's ankle, the electrodes contact the ankle and provide electric stimulation to the tibial nerve within the ankle. |

1. A nerve stimulation device for applying electrical stimulation to a nerve, the nerve stimulation device comprising:
a) a housing having a curved bottom outer surface adapted for application to an exterior surface of a human body, wherein the housing is configured to be conformal to the exterior surface of the body; b) at least two electrodes received through respective apertures of the bottom outer surface of the housing wherein the electrodes extend outwardly a given depth from the bottom outer surface of the housing; and c) a pulse generating circuit enclosed within the housing operably connected to the electrodes to provide an electrical pulse to the nerve positioned within the body through the electrodes. |
