CONFIGURING STIMULATION THERAPY USING STIMULATION INTENSITY
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving a stimulation intensity value that corresponds to an equal intensity function;
determining a pulse width value and a pulse amplitude value based on the equal intensity function; and
controlling delivery of electrical stimulation pulses with the determined pulse width value and amplitude value to a patient.

Abstract
Techniques for configuring electrical stimulation therapy utilizing one or more stimulation intensity values are described. In one example, a method includes receiving a stimulation intensity value that corresponds to an equal intensity function; determining a pulse width value and a pulse amplitude value based on the equal intensity function; and controlling delivery of electrical stimulation pulses with the determined pulse width value and amplitude value to a patient. A stimulation intensity value may correspond to a plurality of paired pulse width and amplitude values having substantially the same intensity. For example, the plurality of paired pulse width and amplitude values may activate a substantially equal volume of tissue when a stimulation pulse with the paired values is delivered.
