The present invention provides a gastric electrical stimulation apparatus
having (1) a pulse generator located outside of the body, (2) an external
coil connecting to the pulse generator, (3) an internal coil which is
implanted in the body and receives electricity from the external coil by
transcutaneous energy transmission, (4) a waveform rectifier circuit
connecting to the internal coil, and (5) electrodes which are positioned
in contact with the gastric wall and are connecting to the waveform
rectifier circuit. This gastric electrical stimulation apparatus imposes
a less burden on users and is capable of providing long pulse
stimulation.
