Abstract
An exemplary electroacupuncture device may be implanted beneath a skin surface of a patient at a location corresponding to a joint affected by osteoarthritis and may perform methods for treating the osteoarthritis. In some implementations, the electroacupuncture device is powered by a primary battery located within the electroacupuncture device and having an internal impedance greater than 5 ohms and a capacity of less than 60 milliamp-hours (mAh).
