5.	Infections 01/01/2017 - "Infection and Erosion Rates in Trials of a Cranially Implanted Neurostimulator Do Not Increase with Subsequent Neurostimulator Placements." 07/01/2015 - "Injectable neurostimulators are currently applied in clinical trials to minimize the side effects such as discomfort, risk of infection, and post-surgery trauma, which can be pronounced with conventional, bulky implantable neurostimulators. " 08/01/2021 - "However, hardware issues including lead migration, skin erosion, infection, so-called pocket pain at the site of the implanted neurostimulator are reported. " 03/01/2019 - "The involvement of liquid crystals in multichannel implanted neurostimulators, hearing and ENT infections, and cancer." 12/01/2022 - "Spinal cord stimulator (SCS) is approved to treat various pain conditions and is commonly seen in the chronic pain patient population. Due to the nature of the device and its location, infections associated with SCS have a particularly high morbidity. According to post-market data and medical device reports, 87% of patients receiving SCS implants were given perioperative antibiotics as the implantable neurostimulator or receiver pocket serve as the most common sites of infection.
