Example inventions treat restless legs syndrome (“RLS”). Examples affix a patch externally on a dermis of a user adjacent to a targeted nerve of the user, the patch including a flexible substrate, a processor directly coupled to the substrate, and electrodes directly coupled to the substrate. Examples detect the occurrence of RLS and in response to the detecting, activate the patch, the activating including generating an electrical stimuli via the electrodes that is directed to the targeted nerve.
Claim CLM-00001. 1. A method of treating restless legs syndrome (RLS), the method comprising:
affixing a patch externally on a dermis of a user adjacent to a targeted nerve of the user, the patch comprising a flexible substrate, a processor directly coupled to the substrate, and electrodes directly coupled to the substrate; detecting an occurrence of RLS; and in response to the detecting, activating the patch, the activating comprising generating electrical stimuli via the electrodes that is directed to the targeted nerve.
Claim CLM-00012. 12. A restless legs syndrome (RLS) treatment system comprising:
a patch adapted to be externally coupled on a dermis of a user adjacent to a targeted nerve of the user, the patch comprising a flexible substrate, a processor directly coupled to the substrate, and electrodes directly coupled to the substrate; an RLS detector adapted to detect an occurrence of RLS; and the processor adapted to activate the patch, the activating comprising generating electrical stimuli via the electrodes that is directed to the targeted nerve.
