More Information
Summary:The present invention relates to an implantable electrical tissue stimulation system, comprising one or more electrical terminals configured for being coupled to one or more stimulation leads, output stimulation circuitry capable of outputting electrical stimulation energy as a temporal series of electrical pulses to the one or more electrical terminals in accordance with a set of stimulation parameters for a defined pulsed electrical waveform, wherein the stimulation parameters include electrode combinations to define electrodes that are anodes, cathodes or off, and electrical pulse parameters to define pulse amplitudes, pulse durations and pulse shapes defined by pulse shape types, wherein a single temporal series of electrical pulses includes a variety of pulse types, and control circuitry configured for modifying a pulse shape into a pulse shape type selected from a plurality of different pulse shape types.
