Abstract:
1. A system comprising: a first therapy module comprising a housing and a signal generator enclosed within the housing, wherein the signal generator is configured to generate and deliver electrical stimulation to a first tissue site within a patient via a first electrode electrically connected to the signal generator; a second therapy module configured to deliver electrical stimulation to a second tissue site within the patient; a second, nontherapeutic electrode that is not used by the second therapy module for the delivery of the electrical stimulation by the second therapy module; and a clamping structure configured to electrically connect the second, nontherapeutic electrode to the housing of the first therapy module, wherein the clamping structure is configured to reduce a shunt-current introduced into the first therapy module via the first electrode, and wherein the shunt-current is generated by the delivery of electrical stimulation by the second therapy module.
