Abstract

Implantable neurostimulators are the tools used by clinicians to execute the various and diverse neuromodulation therapies. Just as it is important for the engineers developing these stimulators to understand the diseases, disorders, and injuries the devices will treat, it is also important for the clinicians using them to understand how these devices operate, the tradeoffs involved in their design, and the capabilities and limitations of the technology. Not only does this mutual understanding allow for proper neurostimulator design on the part of the engineer and optimal prescription and programming by the physician, but it also promotes a dialogue that results in further improvements and breakthroughs in technology and therapy.
