Point-and-click programming for deep brain stimulation using real-time monopolar review trendlines

A method for facilitating a selection of electrical stimulation parameters, the method comprising:

• displaying a plurality of two-dimensional graphs arranged at different longitudinal levels along an axis corresponding to an axis of a leadwire, each of the two-dimensional graphs corresponds to stimulation at the corresponding longitudinal level;
• receiving a user selection of a point on one of the two-dimensional graphs, wherein the point corresponds to a first value of a particular stimulation parameter and a first location on the leadwire;
• and
• initiating a signal to program an implantable pulse generator with the first value of the particular stimulation parameter and a selection of one or more electrodes on the leadwire corresponding to the first location on the leadwire to produce a stimulation.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing instructions to perform a method for facilitating a selection of electrical stimulation parameters for stimulating patient tissue, the method comprising:

• displaying, on a display, a plurality of two-dimensional graphs arranged at different longitudinal levels along an axis corresponding to an axis of a leadwire, each of the two-dimensional graphs corresponds to stimulation at the corresponding longitudinal level;
• receiving a user selection of a point on one of the two-dimensional graphs, wherein the point corresponds to a first value of a particular stimulation parameter and a first location on the leadwire;
• and
• initiating a signal to program an implantable pulse generator with the first value of the particular stimulation parameter and a selection of one or more electrodes on the leadwire corresponding to the first location on the leadwire to produce a stimulation.
