titleOfInvention | TREATMENT OF OBESITY BY STIMULATION OF DIAPHRAGMATIC NERFS |
abstract | A method and apparatus for treating obese or other patients with compulsive overeating disorder includes unilaterally or bilaterally stimulating one or both of the left and right branches (19, 20) of a patient's vagus nerve directly or indirectly with an electricla pusle signal generated by an implantable neurostimulator (10) with at least one operatively coupled nerve electrode (17, 18) to apply the pulse signal to the selected nerve branch at a location below the patients diaphragm (22). The implantable neurostimulator (10) is programmable to enable physician programming of electrical and timing paramaters of the pulse signal, to induce weight loss of the patient. |
