1. A trial neurostimulation system adapted for delivering neurostimulation to a patient, the trial neurostimulation system comprising:
a trial stimulator unit for generating stimulation pulses to a targeted tissue in a patient through at least one neurostimulation lead, wherein the trial stimulator unit comprises at least one receiving connection port, wherein the receiving connection port is adapted to receive at least one lead adapter;
at least one lead adapter comprising a receiving portion, a sliding portion and a connection port, wherein the receiving portion comprises a receiving channel to receive a proximal end portion of a neurostimulation lead, wherein a plurality of electrical contacts at the receiving channel are configured to couple with corresponding electrode contacts at the proximal end portion of the neurostimulation lead, wherein the sliding portion is configured to couple to at least a part of the receiving portion by sliding the sliding portion along a movement axis that is substantially the same as an axis of the receiving channel, wherein the sliding portion comprises a retention strip configured to face the receiving channel and exert pressure on the proximal end portion of the neurostimulation lead to assist retention of the coupling between the corresponding electrode contacts at the proximal end portion of the neurostimulation lead and the plurality of electrical contacts at the receiving channel, wherein the connection port is adapted to electrically connect the electrical contacts with at least one receiving connection port; and
a case adapted to releasably contain at least a portion of the trial stimulator unit and the at least one lead adapter.
