First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- receiving input from a patient indicating an occurrence of a patient event related to a condition of the patient;
generating an event marker based on the input from the patient; and
adjusting therapy delivered by a medical device to the patient, wherein the medical device delivers therapy according to a therapy cycle comprising an on-cycle and an off-cycle, and adjusting therapy comprises;
determining whether the medical device is in the off-cycle or the on-cycle at a time the event marker is generated;
initiating the on-cycle if the medical device is in the off-cycle at the time the event marker is generated; and
restarting the on-cycle if the medical device is in the on-cycle at the time the event marker is generated.

Abstract
An indication that a patient event occurred may be used to evaluate the efficacy of at least one therapy program and/or adjust therapy delivery to the patient. In some examples, the patient event indication includes patient input that may be received via an event indication button of a programming device. In some examples, therapy delivery may be adjusted by adjusting at least one therapy parameter value, switching therapy programs or therapy program groups or restarting a therapy cycle of a medical device.

11. A system comprising:
-
a medical device that delivers therapy to a patient according to a therapy cycle comprising an on-cycle and an off-cycle; and a processor that receives input from a patient indicating an occurrence of a patient event, wherein the patient event is related to a condition of the patient, generates an event marker based on the input, determines whether the medical device is in the off-cycle or the on-cycle at a time the event marker is generated, initiates the on-cycle if the medical device is in the off-cycle at the time the event marker is generated, and restarts the on-cycle if the medical device is in the on-cycle at the time the event marker is generated. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A system comprising:
-
means for receiving input from a patient indicating an occurrence of a patient event related to a condition of the patient; means for generating an event marker based on the input from the patient; and means for adjusting therapy delivered by a medical device to the patient, wherein the medical device delivers therapy according to a therapy cycle comprising an on-cycle and an off-cycle, and the means for adjusting therapy comprises; means for determining whether the medical device is in the off-cycle or the on-cycle at a time the event marker is generated; means for initiating the on-cycle if the medical device is in the off-cycle at the time the event marker is generated; and means for restarting the on-cycle if the medical device is in the on-cycle at the time the event marker is generated. - View Dependent Claims (21)

22. A computer-readable medium comprising instructions that cause a programmable processor to:
-
receive input from a patient indicating an occurrence of a patient event related to a condition of the patient; generate an event marker based on the input from the patient; and adjust therapy delivered by a medical device to the patient, wherein the medical device delivers therapy according to a therapy cycle comprising an on-cycle and an off-cycle, and the instructions cause the programmable processor to; determine whether the medical device is in the off-cycle or the on-cycle at a time the event marker is generated; initiate the on-cycle if the medical device is in the off-cycle at the time the event marker is generated; and restart the on-cycle if the medical device is in the on-cycle at the time the event marker is generated.
