1. A neurostimulation assembly comprising:

  • at least one electrode sized and configured for implantation in a targeted neural or muscular tissue region,a lead electrically coupled to the electrode and including a connection element adapted to electrically couple to a carrier, the carrier sized and configured to be carried by the patient,an electronics pod removably carried on-board the carrier, the electronics pod including circuitry configured to generate a stimulation pulse,a power source electrically coupled to the circuitry,a return electrode adapted to be electrically coupled to the carrier,instructions prescribing the release and replacement of the return electrode according to a preset schedule, andan electrode connection element carried on-board the carrier that is electrically coupled to the electronics pod, the electrode connection element being sized and configured to electrically engage at least a portion of the exposed region of the lead to electrically couple the electrode to the electronics pod to percutaneously apply the stimulation pulse to the tissue region.
