Abstract:
Methods and devices for improving pelvic floor dysfunction in a patient suffering therefrom by electrically modulating neural tissue in a minimally invasive fashion using an electrical micro stimulator are provided.

Claim (Index 18):
A system comprising:\n a stimulation device configured for insertion along a surgical pathway to a target medical device implant site adjacent to a target nerve, the stimulation device programmed to deliver stimulation signals to the target nerve; a sensing device configured to detect evoked electrical signals in response to the delivered stimulation signals; a computing device associated with the stimulation and sensing device comprising:\n a non-transitory memory storing instructions; and \n a processor to access the non-transitory memory and execute the instructions to:\n send a plurality of stimulation signals each having an amplitude to the stimulation device for application to the target nerve; and \n receive an evoked electrical signal from the sensing device in response to application of the plurality of stimulation signals; \n \n and\n an output device associated with the computing device configured to provide an output indicating when an evoked electrical signal is elicited by stimulation of the target nerve at the lowest amplitude of one of the plurality of stimulation signals.
