摘要： A neurostimulation system comprises an implantable neurostimulation lead, an implantable neurostimulator configured for delivering stimulation energy to the lead, an indicator configured for outputting a user-discernible alert signal indicating that the lead has migrated from a baseline position, memory configured for storing a threshold value, and a processor configured for determining a magnitude at which the lead has migrated from the baseline position, comparing the determined magnitude to the threshold value, and prompting the indicator to output the alert signal based on the comparison. A method of alerting a user to the migration of a neurostimulation lead implanted within the user comprises determining a magnitude at which an implanted neurostimulation lead has migrated from a baseline position, comparing the determined magnitude to a threshold value, and outputting a user-discernible alert signal indicating that the implanted lead has migrated based on the comparison.
