The control module includes a predetermined comparison database, and the comparison database has multiple set modes, wherein the multiple set modes respectively have multiple interruption signals and multiple recovery signals.

In an illustrative embodiment, methods and systems for attenuating effect(s) associated with reduction or cessation of substance use by an individual include providing a neurostimulation delivery system including a neurostimulation device having a first portion including at first electrode configured to electrically stimulate branch(s) of the auriculotemporal nerve, and a second portion including a second electrode configured to electrically stimulate auricular branch(es) of the vagus nerve, and a pulse generator including circuitry configured to deliver therapeutic stimulation pulses to the first and second electrodes. Methods and systems include positioning the neurostimulation device for administration of the neurostimulation treatment, whereby the first electrode is disposed on, over or adjacent to branch(s) of the auriculotemporal nerve, and the second electrode is disposed on, over or adjacent to auricular branch(es) of the vagus nerve, and administering the neurostimulation treatment.

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.

A three-dimensional acupoint mapping method executable by a computing device is disclosed. The present invention comprises the steps of: retrieving a standard template having a 3D data of human organ and a standard position of an acupoint; transforming coordinate system of the standard template as a 3D image of a patient including coordinates of the patient's organ corresponding to the human organ of the standard template is input; retrieving coordinates of the standard position of the acupoint from the transformed coordinate system of the standard template; and calculating a patient's acupoint's coordinates by mapping the retrieved coordinates of the standard position of the acupoint to the 3D image of a patient.

Skin stimulus arrangements are described for creating a stimulus in the skin in the vicinity of a treatment or wound site to alleviate the perception of pain. First and second textured surfaces are provided for making contact with the skin, with the surfaces being moved to create a stimulus which alleviates the perception of pain. The movement may be linear, rotary or a combination of both, and just a single textured surface may be provided.
