RAMPING PARAMETER VALUES FOR ELECTRICAL STIMULATION THERAPY
First Claim
1. A method for controlling electrical stimulation therapy, the method comprising:
- obtaining, by one or more processors, a stimulation parameter set that at least partially defines an electrical stimulation therapy;
selecting, by the one or more processors, an amplitude ramp schedule based on a signal frequency of the stimulation parameter set; and
increasing, by the one or more processors, an amplitude of the electrical stimulation therapy during a ramp period defined by the amplitude ramp schedule.

Abstract
Devices, systems, and techniques for ramping one or more parameter values of electrical stimulation are disclosed. An implantable medical device may increase or decrease a parameter value, e.g., amplitude or pulse width, over time to reach a target value of the parameter. In one example, a memory may be configured to store a plurality of amplitude ramp schedules. At least one processor may be configured to obtain a stimulation parameter set that at least partially defines an electrical stimulation therapy, select one of the plurality of amplitude ramp schedules based on a signal frequency of the stimulation parameter set, and increase an amplitude of the electrical stimulation therapy during a ramp period defined by the selected amplitude ramp schedule.
