More Information
Summary:A method is disclosed for programming a patient's stimulator device using an external device. The method provides a Graphical User Interface (GUI) on the external device that allows the patient to select from a plurality of displayed stimulation modes to program stimulation provided by one or more electrodes of the stimulator device. The external device stores a model derived for the patient, which model comprises information indicative of a plurality of frequency/pulse width/amplitude coordinates predicted to provide optimal stimulation for the patient. Each stimulation mode corresponds with a subset of coordinates defined in accordance with the plurality of coordinates in the model. Selection of one of the stimulation modes limits programming the stimulator device with coordinates that are within the corresponding subset of coordinates.
