8:00 AM - 5:00 PM Thursday, January 13

Morning session: Engineering principles related to DBS and SCS in clinical practice: Introduction to basic principles (CME)

Upon completion of this educational activity, participants should be able to:

Discuss the biophysics of neural stimulation.
Indicate how lead design and placement and waveform parameters affect the neural response to extracellular stimulation.
Describe safety and regulatory issues related to electrode design and waveform parameters.
Outline the engineering principles relevant to SCS and DBS.
Explain the physiologic effects and corresponding mechanisms of action of standard and emerging forms of SCS and DBS.
