Pulse Generator System for Promoting Desynchronized Firing of Recruited Neural Populations

A system, comprising:

• a medical device comprising a plurality of electrodes configured to provide stimulation for a patient's tissue;
• and
• a machine-implementable algorithm, wherein the algorithm when executed is configured to
• (a) issue stimulation pulses pursuant to a stimulation program at at least two electrodes of the plurality of electrodes, and detect a first neural response to the stimulation pulses at at least one electrode of the plurality of electrodes;
• (b) determine a shape of the first neural response;
• (c) adjust the stimulation program to issue adjusted pulses at the at least two electrodes of the plurality of electrodes, and detect a second neural response to the adjusted pulses at the at least one electrode;
• (d) determine a shape of the second neural response;
• and
• (e) verify through a comparison of the first and second shapes that the second neural response is less synchronized than the first neural response.
