Abstract

A system for inserting an electrode into a patient's body to a site where neural stimulation is to occur includes a percutaneously insertable probe (18) of an electrically conductive material. An introducer (36) is mountable over the probe to be percutaneously insertable, in use, into the patient's body. The introducer includes a dilator (38). An electrode assembly (10) is inserted through the introducer, in use, and terminates at its distal end in an electrode (48). The electrode is locatable, after determination of an appropriate location at the site to be stimulated, at that appropriate location.
