Display of region of activation in neurostimulation programming screen
First Claim
1. A system for use with a neurostimulator coupled to one or more electrodes implanted adjacent neural tissue of a patient, comprising:
- a user input device configured for allowing a user to select at least one nerve fiber diameter and to select a set of stimulation parameters;
processing circuitry configured for providing a grid of uniformly spaced nodes for the neural tissue and estimating a region of activation within the neural tissue of the patient based on the selected at least one nerve fiber diameter and the selected stimulation parameter set by determining activated nodes in the grid; and
a display device configured for displaying the estimated region of tissue activation and displaying a representation of the activated nodes.

Abstract
A system for use with a neurostimulator coupled to one or more electrodes implanted adjacent neural tissue of a patient. The system comprises a user input device configured for allowing a user to select different nerve fiber diameters and to select a set of stimulation parameters. The system further comprises processing circuitry configured estimating regions of activation within the neural tissue of the patient based on the selected nerve fiber diameters and the selected stimulation parameter set. The system further comprises a display device configured for displaying the estimated regions of tissue activation. The user input device may further be configured for allowing the user to select different tissue regions of therapy, in which case, the display device may display the different tissue region on a human body map, and different indicia associating the displayed tissue regions for therapy to displayed estimated regions of tissue activation.
