The fully implanted stimulator systems can be programmed using telemetry by your doctor’s programmer. Most of the newer devices will be issued with a patient programmer so that you will be able to not only turn it on and off but also make your own adjustments to the stimulation. The drug delivery systems will be adjusted if required by your doctor.
