Patient received a new implant in december.First week was great for her, then felt shocking sensation.I down adjusted voltage but she was always able to feel this.We replaced the battery in january, she did fine with this for 3 months.Recently reported return of shocking sensation, all impedance and lead analysis are ok and within normal parameters.She reports the stimulation therapy improves her symptoms, and would like to keep the device.Dr.Friedman and i think maybe we need to replace the entire unit? prior to explanting for good.
