There are three possible options. One of these,
Restore, is not a stimulation setting but is similar to
an “undo” feature. It returns a changed program
back to its original settings. The other two options
are stimulation settings that can affect the overall
feeling of the stimulation you receive:
• Pulse Width, or how long each stimulation pulse
lasts, and
• Rate, or how many times-per-second your
Stimulator sends a stimulation pulse.
Note: Restore is available to all patients. However, Pulse Width and/or Rate may not be available
to you. Their availability would have been discussed with you at your first programming
session.
