Fitting algorithm to determine best stimulation parameter from a patient model in a spinal cord stimulation system

A method for determining stimulation for a patient having a stimulator device, the method comprising:

• receiving at an external system a model indicative of a range or volume of preferred stimulation parameters, wherein the model comprises information indicative of a plurality of coordinates, wherein each coordinate comprises a frequency, a pulse width, and an amplitude within the range or volume of the preferred stimulation parameters;
• receiving at the external system fitting information for the patient, wherein the fitting information comprises mapping information indicative of the effectiveness of stimulation used during a fitting procedure;
• determining at the external system one or more sets of stimulation parameters for the patient using the pieces of fitting information, wherein the one or more sets of stimulation parameters are selected from the range or volume of preferred stimulation parameters;
• and
• programming the stimulator device with at least one of the one or more sets of stimulation parameters.
