Abstract

The disclosure describes example devices, systems, and techniques for delivering electrical stimulation to a patient. In some examples, an IMD includes a housing having a main portion and projection extending from the main portion. The projection of the housing may carry an electrode. Stimulation circuitry may be disposed within the main portion of the housing where the stimulation circuitry may generate electrical stimulation deliverable via the electrode. Processing circuitry may be disposed within the main portion of the housing where the processing circuitry may control the stimulation circuitry to generate the electrical stimulation.
