Mechanisms of Closed-loop SCS: 

5 Years of Patient Data

Overview

Join Drs. Eric J. Grigsby, John Parker, and Lawrence Poree for a conversation on closed-loop spinal cord stimulation (SCS). 

• What are evoked compound action potentials (ECAPs)? 
• How are they used to create a closed-loop neuromodulation system? 
• What can continuous monitoring the neural responses tell us about the presence and influence of pharmacological agents?
