Tibial nerve stimulation method and apparatus
By placing stimulation electrodes in the medial plantar nerve region of the foot and generating asymmetrical curve waveforms, the invasiveness and discomfort of traditional tibial nerve stimulation techniques are resolved, achieving a more efficient and comfortable nerve activation effect, which is suitable for the treatment of overactive bladder.

AI Technical Summary
Traditional tibial nerve stimulation techniques are highly invasive, carry a risk of pain, cause strong discomfort, have fixed waveform patterns, and are difficult to balance nerve activation efficiency with user comfort.
An asymmetric curve waveform stimulation method is adopted, with stimulation electrodes placed in the medial plantar nerve region of the foot to generate an asymmetric curve waveform, including rising and falling edges. The current changes are controlled by a first power function, a second power function, and an exponential decay function. Combined with the position settings of the cathode and anode, the temporal characteristics of the stimulation current are optimized.
It improves the selectivity and comfort of stimulation, expands the range of stimulation doses that users can tolerate, reduces discomfort, and enhances the applicability of the device for home and long-term use and user compliance.
