Treatment of a pelvic condition through indirect electrical stimulation

摘要

Embodiments of the invention are generally directed to a method of treating a pelvic condition of a patient through the indirect stimulation of a pelvic neuromuscular structure of the patient. In one embodiment of the method, an electrical stimulation signal is applied (138) to a first neuromuscular structure (134) of the patient. The electrical stimulation signal is communicated (144) through a neural pathway (140) to a second pelvic neuromuscular structure (142) of the patient. The second neuromuscular structure is stimulated (146) in response to the electrical stimulation signal communicated through the neural pathway. The pelvic condition is treated (148) in response to the stimulation of the second pelvic neuromuscular structure.
