摘要
An exemplary electroacupuncture device includes a central electrode of a first polarity centrally located on a surface of a housing of the electroacupuncture device and an annular electrode of a second polarity that is spaced apart from the central electrode. The electroacupuncture device is implanted beneath a skin surface of a patient at an acupoint corresponding to a tibial nerve and performs methods for treating overactive bladder in the patient. One exemplary method performed by the electroacupuncture device includes generating stimulation sessions each including a series of stimulation pulses and having a duty cycle less than 0.05, wherein the duty cycle is a ratio of a duration of each stimulation session to a rate at which each stimulation session occurs. The exemplary method also includes applying the stimulation sessions to the tibial nerve by way of the central electrode and the annular electrode in accordance with the duty cycle.
