Abstract
A medical device stores a set of stimulation profiles, wherein each stimulation profile of the set of stimulation profiles is associated with a set of values for stimulation parameters; selects from the set of stimulation profiles, one or more active stimulation profiles; produces, by a stimulation generator, multiple electrical pulses based on the one or more active stimulation profiles; and separately controls parameter values of respective individual pulses of the multiple pulses.
Claims20
A medical device comprising:
- a stimulation generator configured to generate electrical stimulation pulses;
- a memory;
- and
- processing circuitry operably coupled to the memory, wherein the processing circuitry is configured to control the stimulation generator to produce multiple pulses, wherein the processing circuitry is configured to separately control parameter values of respective individual pulses of the multiple pulses.
