Patent number: 9474903Abstract: A system and method include a processor that, based on at least a subset of stored data of clinical effects of one or more stimulations of anatomical tissue performed using electrodes of an implanted leadwire, generates and outputs at least one graphical marking representing the at least the subset of the stored data. Each of the at least one graphical marking represents a respective portion of the at least the subset of the stored data and is output in association with a respective set of values for each of at least two parameters by which one or more the stimulations were performed. The markings are plotted in a graph defined by axes corresponding to values of respective stimulation parameters. Alternative, the markings are arranged in a column of a tabular report. The markings are two-toned to provide respective information for both therapeutic and adverse side effects.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2014Date of Patent: October 25, 2016Assignee: Boston Scientific Neuromodulation CorporationInventors: Dean Chen, Brian James Hoffer, Sridhar Kothandaraman, David Ari Lubensky, Mun Pook Lui, Michael A.
