Claim 2:
3. The kit-of-parts according to claim 2, wherein:
the electrode unit (6e) forming the tissue interaction unit (6) is suitable for coupling to a vagus nerve of the patient (51);
the user interface of the external processing unit (100) is configured for entering control pulse parameters of a control energy pulse (355c);
the external communication unit (102) is in communication with the external processing unit (100) and is configured for sending a signal to the electronic circuit (5e) instructing the implantable pulse generator (IPG) to emit signals representative of the control pulse parameters entered in the external processing unit (100), and received by the implantable communication photodetector (20Pi);, the kit-of-parts further comprising an external laryngeal controller (300) comprising:
a laryngeal electrode unit (360) comprising laryngeal electrodes (361) suitable for being coupled to a skin (50) of a neck of the patient at the level of a laryngeal region (Lx) and suitable for measuring a laryngeal electrical activity at the laryngeal region, and
an external energy transfer lead (304) comprising one or more optical fibres (304f) for transferring an optical signal from the laryngeal electrode unit to the external processing unit (100), the optical signal being representative of a laryngeal electrical activity measured by the laryngeal electrodes (361) at the laryngeal region; and, wherein the external processing unit (100) is configured for converting optical signals transferred by the external energy transfer lead into a visual (355), numerical, or acoustic (357) form indicative of the intensity of the optical signal.
