1. A system comprising:
- a patch member having an adhesive disposed on a first side and a patch mounting structure disposed on a second side, opposite the first side, and an electrically conductive return electrode material disposed between the first side and the second side;
an electrical stimulation device comprising;
a housing having oppositely disposed, substantially planar top and bottom surfaces, wherein the top surface is imperforate;
a device mounting structure on the bottom surface physically mated with the patch mounting structure;
electrical stimulation generation circuitry disposed at least partially within the housing;
one or more of a rechargeable battery, an inductive charging circuit adapted to receive an inductive charging signal, and a wireless communication module adapted to receive wireless communications to select or a stimulation pattern to be generated by the electrical stimulation circuitry;
an electrode electrically coupled to the electrical stimulation generation circuitry.

3. A method of treating bodily pain of an animal comprising the steps of:
-
providing a patch member having an adhesive disposed on a first side and a patch mounting structure disposed on a second side, opposite the first side, and an electrically conductive return electrode material disposed between the first side and the second side; providing an electrical stimulation device comprising; a housing having oppositely disposed, substantially planar top and bottom surfaces, wherein the top surface is imperforate; a device mounting structure on the bottom surface configured to physically mate with the patch mounting structure; electrical stimulation generation circuitry disposed at least partially within the housing; one or more of a rechargeable battery, an inductive charging circuit adapted to receive an inductive charging signal, and a wireless communication module adapted to receive wireless communications to select a stimulation pattern to be generated by the electrical stimulation circuitry; coupling the electrical stimulation device to the mounting structure; adhering the patch member to a skin surface of the animal; implanting an electrode in subcutaneous bodily tissue of the animal; electrically coupling the electrode to the electrical stimulation generation circuitry; generating electrical stimulation using the electrical stimulation generation circuitry; delivering the electrical stimulation to the bodily tissue; observing whether the electrical stimulation at least partially relieved the bodily pain. - View Dependent Claims (4, 5, 6)
