Presentation
No motor or sensory responses are
observed during test stimulation
The patient does not report any
sensation of stimulation or symptom
relief
Resolution
•
If there are no blue bars in the stimulation bar when
stimulation is on, there is an issue with the connection.
•
Check the impedance using the CP.
•
Confirm the device cables are connected correctly. Replace
the cables if impedance is bad when the cables are correctly
connected.
•
If stimulation appears to be on, adjust the needle or
lead and stimulation amplitude until a motor or sensory
response is observed.
Check the lead impedance on the Patient Device screen.
•
If there is an impedance issue with the active electrode(s),
reprogram the device to only use electrodes with
acceptable impedance.
If there is still an issue, confirm that the CP is
•
communicating with the correct Stimulator. Try
disconnecting and reconnecting the CP to the Stimulator.
