Abstract

Systems and methods are disclosed to stimulate tissue to treat medical conditions involving tissues such as the bone, spine, stomach, nerves, brain and the cochlea The disclosed invention uses electrical stimulation of the tissue, where vibrational (or acoustic) energy from a source (10) is received by an implanted device (20) and converted to electrical energy and the converted electrical energy is used by implanted electrodes (220) to stimulate the pre-determined tissue sites The vibrational energy is generated by a controller- transmitter (160), which could be either implanted or located externally The vibrational energy is received by a receiver-stimulator (200), which could be located at or close to the stimulation site.
