Abstract: In order to treat hypertension, an implantable receiving device is connected to implantable leads, which are adapted to deliver electrical energy to the carotid body or bodies of the patient. The receiving device is arranged to receive electrical energy from an external generator. The device thus enables the delivery of electrical currents, which modify the function of neural tissue, particularly where repeated treatments are needed or where positioning of a percutaneous needle is difficult.
Abstract: An apparatus for producing analgesia in a patient through electrical signals applied through electrodes to a patient's body, and methods of treating patients using the apparatus.
