If a patient is not responding to Burst, what action should be taken regarding the pre-defined parameters?

If a patient is not responding to Burst therapy, adjusting the pre-defined parameters is appropriate to better address the individual's specific needs. This reflects a fundamental principle in patient-centered care, where therapy should be tailored based on the patient's responses and overall condition.

Each patient may have unique responses to treatment modalities, and if the current settings are not effective, it is essential to reassess and modify those parameters to improve therapy outcomes. This could include adjusting factors such as intensity, frequency, or duration of the treatments.

Maintaining the parameters as they are could lead to continued ineffective treatment and patient frustration. Increasing or decreasing all parameters indiscriminately may not take into account the nuances of the patient’s response, which is why careful reevaluation and modification based on the patient's needs is the best approach. Ultimately, adapting the treatment plan will promote better patient engagement and potentially improve therapeutic effectiveness.
