Oscillating field stimulation has been proved to be an effective method to induce the axonal regeneration after spinal cord injury. However, the primary batteries used in these stimulators provide limited energy, which restricts the operating life of the stimulator. This paper proposed a method of wireless recharging to prolong the time of treatment. Moreover, the size of the rechargeable battery is much smaller than the primary battery, and the dimension of the stimulator could be reduced to Φ34×12. Thus the previous big stimulator, especially the one used in human experiment, can be replaced by the wireless rechargeable implanted oscillating field stimulator. Packaging method was also described in this paper.
