External stimulator for adjunct (add-on) treatment for neurological, neuropsychiatric, and urological disorders
DCFirst Claim
1. An external pulse generator for neuromodulation treatment of at least one of neurologic, neuropsychiatric, and urological disorders comprising:
- a) a power source, primary coil, and circuitry to provide electrical signals; and
b) at least two pre-determined programs to control the electrical signals generated by said pulse generator whereby neuromodulation treatment is provided.

Abstract
An external stimulator adapted to be inductively coupled with an implanted lead-receiver is designed to deliver neuromodulation therapy for disorders including depression, migraine, partial complex epilepsy, generalized epilepsy, involuntary movement disorders, dementia, obsessive compulsive disorders, urinary incontinence, neurogenic/psychogenic pain and bladder control. The external stimulator containing limited number of predetermined programs packaged into the stimulator, giving the patient or caretaker a way to adjust the therapy within confined limits, or turn the device off. The pre-packaged programs contain unique combination of pulse amplitude, pulse width, frequency of stimulation, and on-off time. The programs are capable of being modified with a programming station connected to the pulse generator with a RS232-C serial connection.
