Delayed stimulation
changes: You do not feel
stimulation right away after
turning ON the
neurostimulator or you feel
stimulation after turning OFF
the neurostimulator.
Your clinician programmed SoftStart/Stop so
that stimulation starts and stops gradually:
Allow about 8 seconds for your
neurostimulator to turn ON and OFF.
You may feel a residual effect after the
neurostimulator is turned OFF.
Intermittent stimulation: Yo u
feel stimulation only some of
the time.
Your clinician may have programmed your
neurostimulator to turn ON and OFF at regular
intervals. However, if you are not receiving
adequate pain relief, contact your clinician.
