It was reported that the patient has been experiencing discomfort in throat with stimulation, dysphagia (not necessarily associated with stimulation), and pain on the roof of the mouth (not with stimulation) since the patient had the generator replaced.Patient's device was disabled due to these events a few months ago.Most events went away but the patient still experienced pain on the roof of the mouth.Patient did not experience these events prior to generator replacement.Patient had done well previously but is not seeing as much benefit with the auto stimulation as they would have liked.Patient would like to have the device explanted because of these events.No known explant surgery has not occurred to date.
