In SNM programming, titration curves show how symptom control changes as you adjust the stimulation amplitude. They help you find the smallest amount of stimulation that provides meaningful relief and the level at which additional increases stop adding benefit or start causing discomfort. By mapping this relationship, you identify the threshold where relief begins and the optimal setting where symptoms are controlled with acceptable comfort and without wasting battery life. This focused tuning ensures effective symptom management tailored to the patient. It isn’t about battery life calculations, MRI safety, or surgical planning.
