Telemetrically Controllable System for Treatment of Nervous Sytem Injury

A nerve cell injury treatment system comprising:

• a biocompatible container;
• a wireless data module within the biocompatible container, the wireless data module comprising at least at least one transceiver, the wireless data module operable to transmit and receive data;
• a stimulator module within the biocompatible container and electrically connected to the wireless data module, the stimulator module configured to reverse the polarity of a DC stimulus each time a predetermined period of time elapses;
• an external module located outside the biocompatible container, the external module comprising data acquisition circuitry and data transmission circuitry, wherein the external module and the wireless data module are communicatively coupled via radio frequency communication, and wherein the external module in response to the data transmitted by the wireless data module is operable to generate and transmit configuration information to the wireless data module, the configuration information comprising parameters for controlling the stimulator module;
• a first group of electrodes, each electrode of the first group of electrodes comprising a distal end and a proximal end and an electrically conductive material between the distal end and the proximal end, each proximal end being located within the biocompatible container and electrically connected to the stimulator module, and each distal end located outside the biocompatible container, each electrode of the first group of electrodes being responsive to the DC stimulus;
• and
• a second group of electrodes, each electrode of the second group of electrodes comprising a distal end and a proximal end and an electrically conductive material between the distal end and the proximal end, each proximal end being located within the biocompatible container and electrically connected to the stimulator module, and each distal end located outside the biocompatible container, each electrode of the first group of electrodes being responsive to the DC stimulus;
• wherein one group of electrodes acts as a cathode of the DC stimulus, and the other group of electrodes acts as an anode of the DC stimulus, and wherein each time the polarity of the DC stimulus is reversed the first electrode group which comprised the cathode before the polarity reversal comprises the anode after the polarity reversal and the first electrode group which comprised the anode before the polarity reversal comprises the cathode after the polarity reversal.
