摘要:
An electrical stimulation system includes an implantable control module for implantation in a patients body and having an antenna and a processor coupled to the antenna. The control module provides electrical stimulation signals to an electrical stimulation lead coupled to the implantable control module for stimulation of patient tissue. The system also includes an external programming unit to communicate with the processor of the implantable control module using the antenna and to provide or update stimulation parameters for production of the electrical stimulation signals. The system may also include a patient interface unit to communicate with the external programming unit, the control module, or both. The patient interface unit is configured and arranged to permit a patient to alter one or more of the stimulation parameters within pre-set limits. Alternatively or additionally, the system may also include a database to receive stimulation data from the external programming unit.
