Stimulation templates for programming a stimulation lead with complex electrode array geometry
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- presenting on a display at least one view of a representation of an implantable lead having a complex electrode array geometry;
receiving user input defining a stimulation field on the representation of the lead;
selecting at least one volumetric stimulation template from a memory based on the stimulation field; and
selecting an electrical stimulation parameter set associated with the selected volumetric stimulation template in the memory.

Abstract
The disclosure is directed to programming implantable stimulators to deliver stimulation energy via one or more implantable leads having complex electrode array geometries. A user interface of a programmer allows a user to define stimulation therapy by interacting with one or more representations of the lead that delivers the therapy. The disclosure also contemplates selecting stimulation parameters to satisfy a user defined stimulation field by selecting one or more volumetric stimulation templates that best fit the stimulation field. The user interface may display the stimulation templates in relation to different perspectives of a lead and the stimulation field. Use of stimulation templates may simplify the determination of stimulation parameters in response to any of a variety of types of user definition of a stimulation field.
