1. A method for modulating excitable tissue in a patient comprising:

  • implanting a neural stimulator within the body of the patient such that one or more electrodes of the neural stimulator are positioned at a target site adjacent to or near excitable tissue;

    generating an input signal with a controller module located outside of, and spaced away from, the patient'"'"'s body;

    transmitting the input signal to the neural stimulator through electrical radiative coupling;

    converting the input signal to electrical pulses within the neural stimulator; and

    applying the electrical pulses to the excitable tissue sufficient to modulate said excitable tissue.
