A programmable neurostimulator is described herein. The neurostimulator comprises an internal part located in a patient's body and including an implant, at least one electrode, and a communication link; and an external part, connected to the implant by the communication link, the external part including a user interface. Wherein the user interface enables programming stimulation algorithms in the implant through the communication link so that, when activated, the implant generates electrical stimulation pulses by means of the at least one electrode located at sites of stimulation of the body.

La présente invention concerne un neurostimulateur programmable. Il est constitué d'un module interne logé dans l'anatomie du patient, et d'un module externe. Le module interne comprend un implant, au moins une électrode et une liaison de communication. Le module externe, qui est connecté à l'implant par la liaison de communication, comporte une interface utilisateur. En l'occurrence, l'interface utilisateur permet la programmation d'algorithmes de simulation dans l'implant via la liaison de communication de façon que, lorsqu'il est activé, l'implant génère des impulsions de stimulation électrique au moyen de l'électrode considérée, située aux sites de stimulation de l'anatomie.
