SEAMLESS INTEGRATION OF DIFFERENT PROGRAMMING MODES FOR A NEUROSTIMULATOR PROGRAMMING SYSTEM

摘要

A system and method for programming a neurostimulation device coupled to a plurality of electrodes implanted adjacent tissue of a patient are provided. A first electrode configuration corresponding to a first mode of programming the neurostimulation device is defined. A second programming mode of programming the neurostimulation device different from the first programming mode is selected. A second electrode configuration is defined based on the first electrode configuration in response to the selection of the second programming mode. The neurostimulation device is programmed using the second programming mode.

1. A method of operating a system that includes a plurality of electrodes and a neurostimulation device coupled to the plurality of electrodes, the method comprising:
actuating a programming selection control element on a user interface; selecting one of different programming modes for the neurostimulation device in response to the actuation of the programming selection control element; defining a first electrode configuration corresponding to the first programming mode; actuating the programming selection control element on the user interface again; selecting the second programming mode in response to the actuation of the programming selection control element again; defining a second electrode configuration based on the first electrode configuration in response to the selection of the second programming mode, the second electrode configuration corresponding to the second programming mode; generating a stimulation parameter set corresponding to the second electrode configuration; and conveying electrical energy from the neurostimulation device to the plurality of electrodes in accordance with the stimulation parameter set.
