1. A method comprising:
- representing an anatomical region on a display;
representing a stimulation field on the anatomical region;
receiving, stimulation field input from a user via at least one of the display or a pointing device on the displayed representation of the anatomical region, wherein the input defines the stimulation field; and
generating electrical stimulation parameters based on the defined stimulation field and a location of at least one electrode within the patient, wherein the electrical stimulation parameters comprise an electrode combination of a complex electrode array geometry of an electrical stimulation lead, wherein the stimulation lead comprises a plurality of non-contiguous electrode segments located at different angular positions about a circumference of the lead.

Abstract
The disclosure describes a method and system that allows a user to configure electrical stimulation therapy by defining a stimulation field. After a stimulation lead is implanted in a patient, a clinician manipulates a stimulation field on the display to encompass desired anatomical regions of the patient. In this manner, the clinician determines which anatomical regions to stimulate, and the system generates the necessary stimulation parameters. In some cases, a lead icon representing the implanted lead is displayed to show the clinician where the lead is relative to anatomical regions of the patient.
