Intraoperative Stimulation Testing

Note: The following steps are for procedural reference only. For detailed stimulation testing procedures
and guidelines refer to the appropriate programming manual for your SCS system as listed in the
Reference Guide.
1. After linking the Clinician Programmer to the Trial Stimulator, check impedances to verify that
components are properly connected. Lead impedance is measured and displayed for each of the
IPG's contacts. Impedances, indicated by an x or an orange circle in your Programming Software, are
considered to be resultant from open or unconnected wires. Refer to your Programming Manual for
additional information.
2. Using test stimulation, enlist patient feedback to verify lead placement and pain coverage.
Note: If lead repositioning is necessary, turn stimulation off before proceeding.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 if the lead has been repositioned.
4. When the desired stimulation is achieved:
a) Turn the Trial Stimulator off.
b) Unlock each OR cable connector and disconnect from the lead(s).
5. Record the lead position by capturing a fluoroscopic image to be sure the leads have not moved.
Retest if necessary.
6. Proceed to "Anchoring the Lead."
Note: Before receiving a permanent SCS system, it is recommended that patients undergo a trial
procedure so that they can experience stimulation to evaluate if SCS is effective at treating their
chronic pain.
