A programming algorithm is disclosed to efficiently select stimulation parameters for a patient having a Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) implant. The algorithm preferably first determines an optimal longitudinal position (Lopt) and amplitude (Iopt1) for stimulation along the lead. This occurs by the algorithm efficiently suggested various values for L and I at which stimulation can be tried on the patient and scored. Once Lopt is determined, the algorithm can also determine an optimal rotational angle (θopt) and amplitude (Iopt2) for stimulation around the lead at the optimized longitudinal position Lopt. This also occurs by the algorithm efficiently suggesting various values for θ and I at which stimulation can be tried on the patient and scored. Despite suggesting next L,I or θ,I values to test, the algorithm allows flexibility to allow a user to test any desired stimulation parameters beyond those suggested.
