Therapeutic window determination
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- determining, by a processor, an efficacy threshold value of at least one electrical stimulation parameter based on a first volume of tissue activation expected to result from delivery of electrical stimulation by at least one electrode to a patient; and
determining, by the processor, an adverse-effects threshold value of the at least one stimulation parameter based on a second volume of tissue activation expected to result from delivery of electrical stimulation by the at least one electrode to the patient.

Abstract
A therapeutic window for at least one electrode of a medical system may be determined based on a volume of tissue expected to be activated (“VTA”) by electrical stimulation delivered by the at least one electrode. In some examples, a processor determines the therapeutic window for a particular electrode by at least determining an efficacy threshold based on the VTA expected to result from the delivery of electrical stimulation according to a set of electrical stimulation parameter values including the stimulation parameter at the efficacy threshold, and determining an adverse-effects threshold based on the VTA expected to result from the delivery of electrical stimulation according to a set of electrical stimulation parameter values including the stimulation parameter at the adverse-effects threshold.
