First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for delivering electrical stimulation therapy to a medical patient, the method comprising:
- determining, in a processor, a parameter indicative of head position of the patient; and
controlling delivery of electrical stimulation by an electrical stimulation device to the patient based on the determined parameter.

Abstract
Techniques and systems for determining a head position of a patient and controlling delivery of electrical stimulation to a target stimulation site based on the determined head position are described. In some examples, movement of the head of the patient may result in movement of a lead, through which the electrical stimulation may be delivered, relative to the target stimulation site. Thus, controlling delivery of the electrical stimulation based on the head position may improve the efficiency and efficacy of the electrical stimulation therapy.
