Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is a drug-free treatment for chronic neuropathic pain. Recent SCS technology can record evoked compound action potentials (ECAPs) in the spinal cord during therapy and utilize features of the sensed ECAP to optimize the SCS. The purpose of this work is to characterize the relevant parameters that govern the integrity and morphology of acquired ECAPs, and the implications for pain management clinicians and researchers working with ECAPs.
