During sleep, bathing or for comfort, turn off the Trial Stimulator, remove it from the
pocket, and disconnect the leads (see "Disconnecting the Trial Stimulator" for information
on disconnecting the leads).
The position and stability of your leads is a vitally important part of the trial experience.
Remember that, when they were placed along your spine, the leads were specifically
located to provide pain coverage. You want the leads to stay in place! So, to prevent them
from moving:
• Do not lift objects of more than 5 pounds.
• Do not engage in rigorous physical activity such as twisting, bending, or
climbing.
• Do not raise your arms above your head.
• Do not pull or jiggle the leads.
Again, call your doctor if you have any questions about an activity that you are not sure is
appropriate for you during the trial.
