The Remote Control
39
Programs
A stimulation program may provide paresthesia to cover a single pain area, or up to four
areas, depending on how the program was set up by your clinician. Your Remote Control
can store up to four programs—numbered 1 through 4—for you to select and activate at any
time. Often, the programs will have certain differences in the settings to allow you to vary
your stimulation in several ways. You may have been encouraged to try using specific
programs for different circumstances, or different body positions, or different times in your
daily routine. Programs and their flexibility give you and your healthcare professional a way
to continually “fine tune” your therapy.
