Neurostimulation testing with minimal discreet feedback

Abstract

A system may include a neurostimulator, a feedback receiver, and a processing system. The neurostimulator may use program(s) to deliver a neurostimulation therapy to treat a patient condition and provide therapy outcomes. The feedback receiver may receive user feedback about the neurostimulation therapy, the patient condition or the therapy outcomes. The feedback receiver may include sensor(s) to sense user taps on or near the feedback receiver, a swiping motion across at least some of the feedback receiver, and/or feedback receiver movement. The processing system may test stimulation parameter sets including configure the neurostimulator to deliver the electrical energy using each of the tested stimulation parameter sets and use the user feedback to evaluate the tested stimulation parameter sets. The feedback receiver enables the patient to discreetly provide user feedback in a timely manner for a monitoring/programming application.
