Patent ID: 8430805

Claim:
A method of performing magnetic induction therapy to treat overactive bladder in a patient, comprising: positioning a first portion of a patient's body relative to a housing such that a posterior tibial nerve within the first portion of the body is in proximity to at least one conductive coil disposed within or along the housing wherein the housing is positioned external to the patient; passing a current through the at least one coil to generate a magnetic field and delivering the magnetic field to the posterior tibial nerve such that the magnetic field stimulates the posterior tibial nerve; detecting electrical conduction through the posterior tibial nerve via at least one sensor positioned along a second portion of the body in proximity to the posterior tibial nerve; receiving a signal from the at least one sensor indicative of the detected electrical conduction; and whereby the detection is used in modulating the current via a controller in communication with the at least one conductive coil to provide an optimal dosage of therapy to treat overactive bladder.
