Patent number: 11730672Abstract: A method comprises generating, by an implantable stimulator, stimulation sessions at a duty cycle that is less than 0.05 and applying, by the implantable stimulator, the stimulation sessions to a patient. The duty cycle is a ratio of T3 to T4. Each stimulation session included in the stimulation sessions has a duration of T3 minutes and occurs at a rate of once every T4 minutes. The implantable stimulator is powered by a primary battery having an internal impedance greater than 5 ohms.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2020Date of Patent: August 22, 2023Assignee: Valencia Bioscience, Inc.Inventors: Jeffrey H. Greiner, David K. L. Peterson, Chuladatta Thenuwara, Stacy Greiner Chambliss
