1. A method for programming an implantable patient treatment device, the patient treatment device including a power supply coupled to a waveform generator, the waveform generator being coupleable to an electrode device, the electrode device including a plurality of electrodes and being configured to be implanted into a patient, the method comprising:

  • programming the implantable treatment device with instructions that, when executed,receive an indication of an association between (a) a first area of a patient and a first electrode of the electrode device and (b) a second area of the patient and a second electrode of the electrode device;

    associate the first area with a first therapy range for a waveform parameter;

    associate the second area with a second therapy range for the waveform parameter, wherein the therapy ranges are ranges of the waveform parameter that provide therapeutic effect without inducing discomfort;

    change the waveform parameter applied to the first electrode; and

    automatically set the waveform parameter applied to the second electrode based on a mathematical relationship between the first therapy range and the second therapy range.
