Table 2 Summary of the outcome measures and stimulation parameters for active research participants. Caption: An overview of the implant date, outcome measures, and stimulation pulse amplitude used for the subjects focused on in this study. The stimulation frequency was 12.5 Hz for Subject 01, 20–100 Hz Subject 11, and 20 Hz for the remaining participants. Pulse width was varied between 1 and 255 μs
