Glossary

Diathermy - A medical treatment applied to

the outside of the body that delivers

energy into the body. Three types of

energy that can be used are shortwave,

microwave, and ultrasound. Depending on

the power level used, diathermy devices

may or may not produce heat within the

body. This treatment is typically used to

relieve pain, stiffness and muscle spasms,

reduce joint contractures, reduce swelling

and pain after surgery, and promote

wound healing.

Electrode - A metal piece near the tip of the

lead. Electrodes deliver electrical pulses to

the area where your pain signals will be

blocked.

Electromagnetic interference (EMI) - A

strong field of energy near electrical or

magnetic devices that could prevent the

neurostimulator from functioning properly.

EOS (End of service) - The neurostimulator

has reached the scheduled end of service

and no longer delivers the electrical pulses

that block pain signals.

ERI (Elective replacement indicator) - The

neurostimulator is nearing scheduled end

of service.

Group - Combined programs that provide

stimulation to one or more pain sites. Each

group may be defined for a different

activity, symptom, or time of day.

Indication - The purpose of the

neurostimulation system and the medical

condition for which it may be implanted.

Neurostimulation system - The implanted

and external components of the stimulation

system that delivers electrical pulses to

block pain signals as they move to the

brain.

Glossary

Neurostimulator - The power source of a

neurostimulation system. It contains the

battery and electronics that control the

stimulation you feel. An external

neurostimulator is carried outside the

body. During test stimulation, it is used to

determine whether or not stimulation is

effective. An implanted neurostimulator is

placed inside the body. If stimulation is

effective during test stimulation, the

neurostimulator is implanted.

OOR (Out of regulation) - The

neurostimulator battery is unable to

produce the levels of energy required for

the current stimulation settings.

Overdischarge - The neurostimulator battery

continues to lose charge even after you

see a low battery screen. Eventually, the

battery loses enough charge to

permanently affect the neurostimulator. If

this occurs, the battery is overdischarged.

Parameter - One of three stimulation settings

that adjust the electrical pulse: amplitude,

pulse width, and rate.

POR (Power on reset) - The neurostimulator

battery has caused the electronic circuitry

in the neurostimulator to be reset.

Precaution - See Caution.

Program - Stimulation directed to a specific

pain site.

Recharger - The component of the

neurostimulation system that is used to

recharge your neurostimulator battery.

SoftStart/Stop - This feature, programmed

by your clinician, starts and stops

stimulation gradually by slowly increasing

or decreasing to the programmed

amplitude or OFF.

Spinal cord - This is your body's information

center. Nerve signals from the entire body

travel to your spinal cord, and then to your

brain.

Stimulation - The delivery of electrical

pulses to the area where pain signals are

blocked as they move to the brain.

Stimulation blocks some pain signals from

reaching the brain.

Stimulation settings - Refers to all the

features assembled to define the

stimulation you feel. The clinician

programs all stimulation. You can adjust

some stimulation settings within clinician-

defined limits.

Test stimulation - The period of time when

an external neurostimulator is used to

determine if stimulation blocks the pain

signals effectively.

Therapy - Treatment of a disease or

condition. When neurostimulation therapy

is prescribed, a neurostimulation system is

used to deliver stimulation to one or more

pain sites.
