Combination Therapy
Delivering the same or different stimulation waveforms at one or more target sites simultaneously and/
or sequentially. Combination Therapy may provide an additive therapeutic effect. WaveWriter Alpha
devices provide patients the most options for combination therapy.
Contact (or electrode)
A component of the Lead where current may flow from the IPG's circuitry to neural tissue.
Contour™ Programming Algorithm
An automated programming mode that uses a proprietary algorithm, 3D Stimulation mapping
technology, MICC, and threshold inputs to create a personalized broad target stimulation field shape
with a uniform electric field. The size of the stimulation target field can be defined by the user.
Cycling
A technique that specifies an ON and OFF duration of stimulation.
Dorsal Cerebrospinal Fluid (dCSF) Space
The thickness of CSF space (or distance) between the dorsal columns of the spinal cord and posterior
dural layer.
Dorsal Horn Modulation (DHM)
DHM mode uses a proprietary algorithm, MICC, and threshold inputs to create a field shape
characterized by an even distribution of current over the area of interest.
Electrical Stimulation
See Stimulation
Electrode
See Contact.
Electronic Trolling (E-Troll)
An automated programming mode that quickly sweeps the electrode array by moving the cathode in a
bipolar and tripolar fashion. E-Troll mode integrates information from the rostrocaudal positioning of the
Leads, the mediolateral positioning of the Leads, and approximations from published values for dCSF
thickness, according to the user-defined Lead placement.
Explant (or Explantation)
The removal of the implanted System from a patient.
Export
To save a report as an electronic file.
Field Shape
Anode/cathode configuration.
