ReStore: A wireless peripheral nerve stimulation system.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The growing use of neuromodulation techniques to treat neurological disorders has motivated efforts to improve on the safety and reliability of implantable nerve stimulators.

New method

The present study describes the ReStore system, a miniature, implantable wireless nerve stimulator system that has no battery or leads and is constructed using commercial components and processes. The implant can be programmed wirelessly to deliver charge-balanced, biphasic current pulses of varying amplitudes, pulse widths, frequencies, and train durations. Here, we describe bench and in vivo testing to evaluate the operational performance and efficacy of nerve recruitment. Additionally, we also provide results from a large-animal chronic active stimulation study assessing the lon
