Abstract
A neuromodulation system and method includes delivering first electrical modulation energy to a patient through a timing channel at a relatively high energy level (e.g., at a frequency in the range of 2 KHz-50 KHz) during a first time period in accordance with a stored modulation energy delivery schedule, delivering second electrical modulation energy to the patient through the same timing channel at a relatively low energy level (e.g., at a frequency in the range of 2 Hz to 1500 Hz) during a second time period in accordance with the stored modulation energy delivery schedule.
Claims21
A neuromodulation system, comprising:
- a plurality of electrical terminals configured for being coupled to a respective plurality of electrodes;
- modulation output circuitry configured for being placed either in a high-energy consumption mode in which first electrical modulation energy is delivered through a timing channel to a first set of the electrodes at a relatively high energy level during a first time period or a low-energy consumption mode in which second electrical modulation energy is delivered through the same timing channel to a second set of the electrodes at a relatively low energy level during a second time period;
- memory configured for storing a modulation energy delivery schedule;
- and
- control circuitry configured for transitioning the modulation output circuitry between the high-energy consumption mode and the low-energy consumption mode in accordance with the modulation energy delivery schedule.
