  • Publication number: 20190151658
    Abstract: An electrical pulse stimulation system includes a pulse generator, a first lead electrically connected to the pulse generator, and a second lead electrically connected to the pulse generator. The pulse generator is configured to deliver a left sacral nerve electrical pulse stimulation signal to the first lead and deliver a right sacral nerve electrical pulse stimulation signal to the second lead. The pulse generator is further configured to determine and adjust a stimulation quantity proportion of the left sacral nerve electrical pulse stimulation signal and the right sacral nerve electrical pulse stimulation signal according to a sacral nerve data of a patient.

  • Patent number: 9993647
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to an electrical stimulation therapy method. The method includes applying a variable frequency stimulation pulse to target nerve tissue of the patient suffering from dysfunction of a nerve circuit in the brain selected from the group consisting of motor circuit, associative circuit and limbic circuit, wherein the variable frequency stimulation pulse comprises at least two kinds of electrical stimulation pulse trains at different frequencies; and each of the at least two kinds of alternate electrical stimulation pulse trains in each of the plurality of pulse train periods has a duration in a range from about 0.1 seconds to about 60 minutes. The target nerve tissue is a part of the nerve circuit. The different frequencies of the electrical stimulation pulse trains are in a range from about 10 Hz to about 250 Hz.
