## Abstract

In some examples, the disclosure relates to system, devices, and techniques for delivering dorsal column stimulation. One or more locations for dorsal column stimulation may be identified based on sensed signals evoked by delivery of stimulation to a dorsal root and/or peripheral nerve of a patient. In some examples, an IMD may deliver dorsal column stimulation in combination with dorsal root stimulation to a patient to treat a patient condition.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method comprising:
delivering electrical stimulation to at least one of a peripheral nerve and a dorsal root of a patient; and
sensing a signal evoked by the electrical stimulation at one or more locations on a dorsal column of the patient.
