Abstract:
A neurostimulation system having an external or an implantable pulse generator programmed to innervate a specific nerve or group of nerves in a patient through an electrode as a mode of treatment, having a patient remote that wirelessly communicates with the pulse generator to increase stimulation, decrease stimulation, and provide indications to a patient regarding the status of the neurostimulation system. The patient remote can allow for adjustment of stimulation power within a clinically effective range and for turning on and turning off the pulse generator. The patient remote and neurostimulation system can also store a stimulation level when the pulse generator is turned off and automatically restore the pulse generator to the stored stimulation level when the pulse generator is turned on.

Claim (Index 1):
A patient remote configured to wirelessly control a nerve-stimulating pulse generator coupled to an implantable lead, the patient remote comprising:\n a portable housing dimensioned to fit within a single hand of an operator; circuitry at least partially disposed within the housing; an activation switch disposed within a recessed area of the portable housing and coupled to the circuitry so as to reconfigure the patient remote between an awake mode and an asleep mode; a stimulation-increase switch disposed on an exterior surface of the portable housing and coupled to the circuitry so as to wirelessly increase a stimulation level of the pulse generator; and a stimulation-decrease switch disposed on the exterior surface of the portable housing and coupled to the circuitry so as to wirelessly decrease a stimulation level of the pulse generator; wherein the circuitry is configured such that wherein when the patient remote is in the asleep mode, the stimulation-increase switch and the stimulation-decrease switch are inactivated, wherein when the patient remote is in the awake mode, the circuity of the patient remote is configured to wirelessly communicate with the pulse generator, and the stimulation level is incrementally adjustable by actuation of the stimulation-increase switch or the stimulation-decrease switch by a predetermined percentage of a maximum stimulation level, a nominal stimulation level, or a current stimulation level.
