suggestions on how to transcribe 0 negative 3 positive
Subject: suggestions on how to transcribe 0 negative 3 positive

This is dictated in a neuro operative report on a patient with Parkinson disease.  The doctor is doing insertion of bilateral deep brain stimulators:


Macro stimulation using 0 negative 3 positive pulse width of 90, frequency 145 resulted in tingling of the left side at threshold of 2.5.


or would it be easier to understand like this?


Macro stimulation using 0-/3+ pulse width of 90, frequency 145 resulted in tingling on the left side at threshold of 2.5. 


I honestly don't really understand what I'm transcribing here, so maybe a comma should be after the 0-/3+.
