Information was received from a patient (pt) who was implanted with an implantable neurostimulator (ins).Pt d they will charge fully one day and walk around and it doesn't help a great deal so pt doesn't notice when it's on or off.Patient will go to charge the next day and it hasn't gone down at all.Patient said they were told never to press the top button which is the stimulation on/off button, but pt will press the top button and the stimulation has been off so pt will set it back on and pt can kind of tell that it's working that day, but that happens every once in a while.Patient service specialist asked if patient has tried any other programs and patient said they haven't yet.Pt d they had abdominal wall pain from neuromas and during trial seemed to help at that time so went ahead and put the system in.Pt stated they had a bunch of programs and has not found the perfect program.Pt d they will have to try that yet.The patient was redirected to their healthcare provider to further address the issue.Pt did not have the name of the rep from the past they worked with who did some adjustments.Pt thinks it was done before summer 2023.Pt states hasn't dealt with reps since may 2023.Agent sent email to the reps.
