some patients have described as
uncomfortable stimulation (a jolting or
shocking sensation). You should reduce your
amplitude to the lowest setting and turn OFF
your neurostimulator before engaging in
activities that could become unsafe for you
or others if you received an unexpected jolt
or shock (eg, driving, operating power tools).
Discuss these activities with your doctor.
Individualization of treatment
Patient management – Best results are
achieved when you are fully informed about
the therapy risks and benefits, surgical
procedure, follow-up requirements, and self-
care responsibilities. Maximum benefits from
the neurostimulation system require long-
term postsurgical management.
Patient selection – The neurostimulation
system should not be implanted if:
• your symptoms are not of physiological
origin.
