Embodiment Construction

[0024] The present disclosure is based on methods, devices and systems for neural stimulation. In various instances, the present disclosure relates to devices, systems, and methods for modulating afferent neural signals sent to the brain (eg, from the bladder to the brain) to treat overactive bladder. Current technology for treating overactive bladder simply sends a constant electrical pulse to the patient in the hope that the patient responds well. In examples of the present disclosure, different electrical signals are sent to the patient at different times.

[0025] In various instances, a system may be employed that senses the pressure of the bladder and dictates the current being sent to the brain based on the bladder pressure and other parameters, such as increasing, decreasing, or Maintains the level of electrical current sent to the brain.

[0026] In healthy people, when the bladder is filled, low levels of afferent signals are sent to the brain and the strength of t...

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to methods, devices and systems for neuromodulation. The methods, devices and systems described herein are useful, for example, in the treatment of bladder conditions such as overactive bladder.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims the benefit of priority from US Provisional Application No. 62 / 059,548, filed October 3, 2014, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for neurostimulation therapy, and more particularly to systems and methods for overactive bladder therapy. Background technique [0004] Overactive bladder (OAB) is a problem with bladder storage function that results in a sudden urge to urinate. The urge can be difficult to stop, and an overactive bladder can lead to unintentional loss of urine (incontinence). Symptoms include: uncontrollable sudden urges to urinate, incontinence, frequent urination, and nocturia. First-line treatment for OAB includes dietary changes, weight control, bladder training and pelvic floor exercises, and medication. If first-line treatment is ineffective, then consider bladder injectio...
