摘要：
A convertible implantable stimulator that provides electrical stimulation therapy during an extended trial stimulation period (or permanently, if desired) in a fully implanted solution is disclosed. The convertible implantable stimulator preferably does not include an internal power supply and is therefore continuously powered by an external charger, such as a powering patch, in a first mode of operation. If the convertible implantable stimulator is determined to be effective and a patient desires more traditional stimulation therapy, a separate power supply module can subsequently be implanted and connected to the convertible implantable stimulator to provide power to the stimulator in a second mode of operation.
