Management of neurostimulation therapy using parameter sets

A computer-readable medium comprising instructions that cause a processor to:

• store a plurality of parameter sets within a memory of an implantable medical device, each of the parameter sets including a plurality of programs, and each of the programs including a different set of values for a common group of neurostimulation therapy parameters;
• control delivery of neurostimulation therapy to a patient via the implantable medical device according to one of the parameter sets
• receive a single request for a global adjustment to one of the neurostimulation therapy parameters for one of the parameter sets via an external programmer;
• apply the adjustment to the value of the neurostimulation therapy parameter for each of the programs in the one of the parameter sets in response to the single global adjustment request.

A method comprising:

• displaying a list of parameter sets stored in a memory of an implantable medical device to a patient;
• providing a selection made from the list by the patient to the implantable medical device for delivery of neurostimulation therapy by the implantable medical device according to the selected parameter set, wherein each of the parameter sets stored in the memory of the implantable medical device includes a plurality of programs, and each of the programs includes a different set of values for a common group of neurostimulation therapy parameters;
• receiving a single request for a global adjustment to one of the neurostimulation therapy parameters for the selected parameter set from the patient;
• and
• applying the adjustment to the value of the neurostimulation therapy parameter for each of the programs in the selected parameter set in response to the single global adjustment request from the patient.

A system comprising:

• an implantable medical device comprising:
• a processor, and
• a memory that stores a plurality of parameter sets, each of the parameter sets including a plurality of programs, and each of the programs including a different set of values for a common group of neurostimulation therapy parameters;
• and
• a programming device comprising:
• a display that provides information to a patient;
• and
• a processor that displays a list of the parameter sets stored in the memory of the implantable medical device via the display, provides a selection made from the list by the patient to the implantable medical device for delivery of neurostimulation therapy by the implantable medical device according to the selected parameter set, receives a single request for a global adjustment to one of the neurostimulation therapy parameters for the selected parameter set from the patient, and provides the single request for the global adjustment to the implantable medical device.
• wherein the processor of the implantable medical device applies the adjustment to the value of the neurostimulation therapy parameter for each of the programs in the selected parameter set in response to the single global adjustment request.
