External pulse generator device and associated methods for trial nerve stimulation

A neurostimulation system comprising:

• an implantable neurostimulation lead having one or more conductors extending from a proximal end of the implantable neurostimulation lead to one or more neurostimulation electrodes disposed at or near a distal end of the implantable neurostimulation lead;
• an external pulse generator electrically coupleable to the implantable neurostimulation lead, the external pulse generator being electrically coupled with the one or more neurostimulation electrodes when electrically coupled with the implantable neurostimulation lead, wherein the external pulse generator is configured to generate a plurality of electrical impulses for delivering a trial neurostimulation treatment to a patient through the one or more neurostimulation electrodes when implanted at a target location;
• wherein the external pulse generator includes a single button, the button being configured to turn on the external pulse generator for delivery of the trial neurostimulation treatment, and wherein a housing of the external pulse generator lacks manual stimulation adjustment controls disposed thereon;
• and
• an implantable pulse generator adapted to deliver a neurostimulation therapy through the one or more neurostimulation electrodes of the implantable neurostimulation lead based on the trial neurostimulation treatment, wherein the external pulse generator and the implantable pulse generator are configured to wirelessly couple with a patient remote, the patient remote being configured to control stimulation or monitor a battery status of the external pulse generator and the implantable pulse generator in a substantially same manner.
