1.
Increase stimulation amplitude until the subject says, "STOP"
(deactivate the hand switch)
2. Activate hand switch again and record the EIC for 5 sec on the Kincom
Simultaneously record the phase charge from the digital display of the
VMS II stimulator
3. Repeat the 5 sec of EIC 10 times (10 bouts) with 30 sec rest between
bouts
4. On each Odd bout (3, 5, 7, 9) ask the subject if she/he can tolerate
more stimulation. If "YES" increase amplitude until the subject
says "STOP"
5. During bout 10 record EIC and Phase charge
6. At the end of each session ask the subject to report what prevented
her/his from taking more stimulation (pins/needles, muscle cramps, other
noxious sensation)
7. Repeat sessions on every other day for a total of six sessions over
two weeks
