Abstract: A system for providing electrical stimulation to a patient includes a processor configured to: provide a time-ordered arrangement of multiple stimulation instances, where each of the stimulation instances is configured to produce a different stimulation field from each other stimulation instance in the arrangement; provide an ON/OFF switch pattern that includes alternating ON periods and OFF periods; generate an intermittent stimulation program that corresponds to repetition of the arrangement of stimulation instances with omission of each of the stimulation instances occurring during the OFF periods; and initiate a signal that provides a pulse generator with instructions that enable the pulse generator to generate stimulation according to the intermittent stimulation program using an electrical stimulation lead coupled to the pulse generator.

Abstract: A method for identifying a rotational orientation of a lead includes obtaining a radiological image of the lead having a lead body, a distal tip, electrodes, and an asymmetric marker, where the lead defines a lead axis along the portion of the lead extending from the distal tip and including the electrodes and the asymmetric marker; determining, using the set of lead slices and the set of marker slices, a direction vector extending from an estimated lead axis and passing through a determined center of weighted mass of the lead; and providing an indication of a direction of the direction vector on a display.
