1. A device for modulating a nerve of a patient by applying electrical stimulation to the nerve of the patient, the device comprising:
a stimulation module comprising an electrode, and configured to apply a signal to the nerve of the patient; and
a controller configured to control the signal to be applied by the stimulation module to the nerve of the patient,
wherein the controller is further configured to:
control the signal to include a direct current (DC) waveform period, a pulse bursts period and an idle period between the DC waveform period and the pulse bursts period, which are arranged alternately and are not overlapped,
control the DC waveform period to include a DC waveform, and
control the DC waveform not to be output in the idle period.
