Abstract:
Systems and methods screen and/or treat disorders of the body using neurostimulation. A trial system implants a temporary or permanent percutaneous lead and couples the lead to an external pulse generator. The external pulse generator supplies a prescribed stimulation regime through the lead to a targeted tissue region. If an improvement in the treated disorder is achieved, use of the trial system may be continued, or an implantable system may be implanted.
