Description[edit | edit source]

Action Mechanisms[edit | edit source]

Stimulation Paradigms[edit | edit source]

Tonic / Conventional Stimulation[edit | edit source]

Frequency: 35-80 Hz

Pulse width: 200-450 μs

Amplitude: 5-6 mA

Burst Stimulation[edit | edit source]

Low frequencies (40 Hz) with 5 closely spaced pulses (1 ms) at 500 Hz per burst, or 3 pulses at 100 Hz, followed by a repolarisation phase

High Frequency Stimulation[edit | edit source]

Frequency: 10 000 Hz

Pulse width: 30 ms

Low amplitude (approximately 2-3 A)
