Key result
A personal computer interface for standard commercial radiofrequency-coupled neurological stimulators was developed to permit direct patient interaction and expedite postoperative parameter adjustment.
A personal computer interface was developed to allow patient interaction and expedite the adjustment of parameters for implantable neurological stimulators.
May expedite postoperative programming of multichannel neurostimulators; leaves open whether patient-directed adjustments improve clinical outcomes.
Programmable implantable neurological stimulation systems with multiple electrodes have many advantages in clinical use, but time-consuming postoperative adjustment of stimulation parameters is a distinct disadvantage. A personal computer interface to standard commercial radiofrequency-coupled devices has been developed, permitting direct patient interaction to expedite this process. In addition, the system permits simulated multichannel operation and implementation of various modulation schemes.
