Causes and actions
Your doctor may have
programmed SoftStart/Stop
which gradually starts and
stops your therapy.
Your doctor can advise you as
to how long it takes to feel the
effects of the therapy. This time
can be different from patient to
patient. It also depends upon
your medical condition.
In general, allow about 8
seconds for your
neurostimulator to turn on
and off.
You may also notice a residual
effect after the neurostimulator
is turned off.
Your doctor may have
programmed your therapy to
turn on and off at regular
intervals.
However, if you are not
receiving adequate symptom
relief, contact your doctor.
