Claim:
1. An implantable neurological stimulation lead assembly having at least one elongate lead connected to a neurological stimulator control for delivering electrical impulses to subcutaneous tissue for treatment; a lead coupler including at least one lead retainer collar, for each at least one lead, said at least one lead retainer collar respectively receiving and retaining said at least one lead with an elastic constraint whereby said at least one lead retainer collar is moveable relative to said at least one lead to different relative positions therealong for retention under said elastic constraint; said neurological stimulator control including a feedback control for controlling the energy put out to said lead assembly with a sensed electrical force around said lead assembly as a feedback signal; said lead coupler including a feedback sensor for sensing said electrical forces around said lead assembly and transmitting the sensed forces to said feedback control for regulating the electrical impulses delivered by said lead assembly whereby said feedback sensor may be positioned and retained relative to said lead assembly by changing the position of said lead coupler relative to said lead assembly under said elastic constraint.
