More Information
Summary:An example of a neurostimulation system may include a programming control circuit and a stimulation control circuit. The programming control circuit may be configured to program a stimulation device for delivering the neurostimulation according to a stimulation program specifying a present stimulation field set including stimulation field(s) each defined by a set of active electrodes selected from a plurality of electrodes. The stimulation control circuit may be configured to determine the stimulation program and may include field programming circuitry that may be configured to set the present stimulation field set to an initial stimulation field set specifying stimulation fields allowing for the delivery of the neurostimulation to produce an intended effect and to identify an optimal stimulation field set that satisfies one or more optimization criteria by removing stimulation field(s) from the initial stimulation field set.
