Abstract
In some embodiments, systems and methods can include a wearable device with an electrically conductive skin interface that excites the underlying nerves from a transcutaneous surface stimulator. The device may be sized for a range of user sizes with stimulation electrodes positioned to target the appropriate nerves, such as the saphenous and/or tibial nerves. The stimulation could include burst stimulation, and involve receiving an input relating to autonomic nervous system activity of the patient, and modifying at least one brain or spinal cord autonomic feedback loop relating to bladder function based on the input to balance parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous system activity of the patient.
