Abstract
A method to treat a patient having a pelvic floor dysfunction by establishing a neurostimulator having a processor and a signal generator to generate a stimulation signal. The processor is set to one or more parameters effective in the treating of the patient's pelvic dysfunction when the stimulation signal is applied to a saphenous nerve of the patient. The neurostimulator is configured to provide the stimulation signal to a stimulator in accordance with a stimulation protocol. At least one stimulator is positioned next to a portion of the saphenous nerve of at least one lower limb of a patient. The processor is operationally activated to provide the stimulation signal to the stimulator for treatment of the patient.
Claims21
A method for treating a patient having a pelvic floor dysfunction or disorder comprising:
- establishing at least a first neurostimulator having a processor and a signal generator for generating at least a first stimulation signal in accordance with a stimulation protocol;
- configuring said processor to set at least one of a plurality of stimulation parameters effective in treating at least one symptom of a pelvic floor dysfunction or disorder when said at least first stimulation signal is applied to a saphenous nerve of a patient;
- configuring said at least first neurostimulator to provide said at least first stimulation signal to at least a first stimulator in accordance with said stimulation protocol;
- positioning said at least first stimulator adjacent to a portion of a saphenous nerve of the patient for stimulating the saphenous nerve;
- operationally activating said processor coupled to said signal generator according to said stimulation protocol to provide said at least first stimulation signal;
- and,
- applying said at least first stimulation signal to said at least first stimulator, whereby the patient's pelvic floor dysfunction or disorder is treated.
