This recorded session from the 2025 NANS Annual Meeting explores strategies for optimizing patient satisfaction and enhancing the overall neuromodulation patient experience. Expert faculty discuss key considerations in patient education, therapy selection, programming optimization, and practice management, with a focus on improving communication, setting appropriate expectations, and supporting long-term therapeutic success.

The session also examines how patient perceptions of neuromodulation are shaped through social media and real-world experiences, while highlighting approaches to building a successful neuromodulation practice centered on safety, outcomes, and patient satisfaction. In addition to faculty presentations, the activity features oral abstract presentations showcasing emerging research related to ECAP biomarkers, spinal cord stimulation programming, and upper limb pain outcomes. Through this activity, learners will gain practical insights into enhancing patient engagement, optimizing neuromodulation therapies, and developing clinical infrastructures that support positive patient outcomes.
