System for providing stimulation pattern to modulate neural activity
First Claim
1. A system for use with an electrode, comprising:
- an implantable device configured to use the electrode to modulate neural activity, the implantable device comprising controller circuitry, memory, a transceiver, and a generator configured to generate electrical stimulation to modulate the neural activity;
the controller circuitry and the transceiver configured to cooperate to receive, from another device, data corresponding to a user-programmable stimulation pattern and store the data in the memory, wherein the user-programmable pattern includes a programmable pattern of bursts with multiple burst durations and multiple burst interval sequences, and the bursts include pulses with a user-programmable wave morphology, the programmable pattern of bursts with multiple burst durations and multiple burst interval sequences being different from a simple burst pattern of repeated bursts with one burst duration and burst interval; and
the controller circuitry operably connected to the memory and the generator to use the data stored in the memory to control generation of the electrical stimulation to provide the user-programmable stimulation pattern that includes the pulses with the user-programmable wave morphology and that includes the multiple burst durations and the multiple burst interval sequences.

Abstract
A system embodiment comprises an implantable device including controller circuitry, memory, a transceiver, and a generator configured to generate electrical stimulation to modulate the neural activity. The controller circuitry and the transceiver configured to cooperate to receive, from another device, data corresponding to a user-programmable stimulation pattern and store the data in the memory. The user-programmable pattern includes a programmable pattern of bursts with multiple burst durations and multiple burst interval sequences, and the bursts include pulses with a user-programmable wave morphology. The controller circuitry is operably connected to the memory and the generator to use the data stored in the memory to control generation of the electrical stimulation to provide the user-programmable stimulation pattern that includes the pulses with the user-programmable wave morphology and that includes the multiple burst durations and the multiple burst interval sequences.
