I'm sure your doctor also knows all about patents and the fact that your recovery is already patented and probably payments due to someone. This one is totally appalling.

Abstract
Systems and methods for enhancing or affecting neural stimulation
efficiency and/or efficacy are disclosed. In one embodiment, a system
and/or method may apply electromagnetic stimulation
(eStim?) to a patient's
nervous system over a first time domain according to a first set of
stimulation parameters, and over a second time domain according to a
second set of stimulation parameters. The first and second time domains
may be sequential, simultaneous, or nested
(eStim with two pads being controlled?). Stimulation parameters may
vary in accordance with one or more types of duty cycle, amplitude, pulse
repetition frequency, pulse width, spatiotemporal, and/or polarity
variations. Stimulation may be applied at subthreshold, threshold, and/or
suprathreshold levels in one or more periodic, aperiodic (e.g., chaotic),
and/or pseudo-random manners.
In some embodiments stimulation may
comprise a burst pattern having an interburst frequency corresponding to
an intrinsic brainwave frequency, and regular and/or varying intraburst
stimulation parameters. Stimulation signals providing reduced power
consumption with at least adequate symptomatic relief may be applied
prior to moderate or significant power source depletion.
What the hell are they trying to say?
