Abstract

This paper tries to help physicians involved in neuromodulation techniques in achieving better results. Patient selection, trial period as well as the neuromodulation technique selection itself are discussed. Initial stimulation parameters for spinal cord stimulation, motor cortex stimulation and peripheral nerve field stimulation are suggested in the text. Neuromodulation techniques must be used properly since its misusage may lead them to failure and to become less accepted into the medical community.
