Uncomfortable stimulation:
You are too uncomfortable
with the current stimulation
to think about how to
change it.
The selected group or stimulation settings are
not suitable for your current activity or posture.
1. Turn the neurostimulator OFF.
2. Change one or more of the following:
• Reduce the amplitude and pulse width for
each program in the active group.
• Reduce the rate for the active group.
• Change the group if the active group is
not one that is recommended by your
clinician for your current activity or
posture; or adjust the amplitude, pulse
width, and rate to values that provide
adequate pain relief.
3. Turn the neurostimulator ON.
