SNM Settings at Initial (First) Programming Following IPG Implantation (Year 2017—European Expert Group)
| Programming data | 90 patients |
|---|---|
| Electrode configuration | |
| Monopolar N (%) | 11 (12) |
| Anode [+] adjacent to cathode [−] N (%) | 46 (51) |
| Anode [+] most distant from cathode [−] N (%) | 25 (28) |
| Longer (extended) cathode* N (%) | 4 (4) |
| Other settings | |
| Mean amplitude in V (± SD) | 0.95 (± 0.5) |
| Mean pulse frequency/rate (Hz) | 14.6 |
| Mean pulse width (μs) | 215 |
| Cycling mode N (%) | 6/90 (7) |
A longer cathode can be obtained on selecting two adjacent electrodes as cathode [−].
IPG, implanted pulse generator; SD, standard deviation.
