Claim 12:
13. A method of stimulating a target nerve of a patient, comprising:
delivering threshold electrical stimulation to the patient via the at least one electrode to confirm excitability of at least one nerve;
determining whether application of stimulation for nerve regeneration therapy appropriate based on the threshold electrical stimulation; and
if determined to be appropriate, delivering regeneration electrical stimulation directly to the target nerve having a frequency via the at least one electrode, wherein delivering regeneration electrical stimulation to the patient at the frequency for a predetermined time period creates a regenerative effect to the target nerve;
wherein the confirmation of excitability validates that a regenerative effect to the target nerve is being accomplished when delivering regeneration electrical stimulation,
and wherein the lead is configured to be advanced to or near the target nerve percutaneously.
