Abstract
A neurostimulation system configured for providing neurostimulation therapy to a patient. A user customizes a pulse pattern on a pulse-by-pulse basis. Electrical stimulation energy is delivered to at least one electrode in accordance with the customized pulse pattern.
Claims20
A system for programming a neurostimulator to deliver neurostimulation using a plurality of electrodes, the system comprising:
- processing circuitry configured to:
- generate data for programming the neurostimulator to control the delivery of the neurostimulation according to a pulse pattern including a plurality of pulses each to be delivered through a combination of electrodes selected from the plurality of electrodes;
- and
- customize the combination of electrodes on a pulse-by-pulse basis in response to a user input;
- and
- a user interface including:
- a user input device configured to receive the user input;
- and
- a display screen configured to display the combination of electrodes.
A method for delivering neurostimulation using a neurostimulator and a plurality of electrodes, the method comprising:
- controlling the delivery of the neurostimulation from the neurostimulator according to a pulse pattern including a plurality of pulses each to be delivered using a combination of electrodes selected from the plurality of electrodes;
- presenting the combination of electrodes on a display screen;
- receiving a user input using a user interface;
- and
- customizing the combination of electrodes on a pulse-by-pulse basis in response to the received user input using a processor.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including instructions, which when executed by a system, cause the system to perform a method for delivering neurostimulation using a neurostimulator and a plurality of electrodes, the method comprising:
- controlling the delivery of the neurostimulation from the neurostimulator according to a pulse pattern including a plurality of pulses each to be delivered using a combination of electrodes selected from the plurality of electrodes;
- presenting the combination of electrodes;
- receiving a user input;
- and
- customizing the combination of electrodes on a pulse-by-pulse basis in response to the received user input.
