http://professional.medtronic.com/


that is one of the links that is up top of this forum under helpful web sites.... there is a whole lot of info you should look threw if you have time wave. I have a neuro stimulator NOT a deep brain motor cortex stim! do not want you to get them mixed up mine is way less evasive

I have T.N. and Anesthesia dolorosa . my lower right never snapped when I was in auto accident I have plates and screws on each side to hold lower jaw together. I had two options after the meds..the many meds failed to help..first I could have a pump implanted in back of skull or try neuro stim.... thats a no brainier..since meds did not work why have a pump screwed into my skull??? went with the stimulator ...works great. plus you can try it before they implant ..so you know if it will help or not .
I hope this helps you.
low pain wishes.
