Abstract: A method for generating a stimulation program includes selecting sets of stimulation parameter values, where at least two stimulation parameter values of each set are selected based on at least one specified clinical effect observed for previous stimulation instances. The at least one specified clinical effect is different for at least two of the sets of stimulation parameter values. The method also includes generating a stimulation program that includes application of stimulation during non-overlapping time intervals, wherein, for each of the non-overlapping time intervals, one of the sets of stimulation parameter values is selected for the application of the stimulation and the selection is different from the selection for an immediately preceding one of the non-overlapping time intervals. The generated stimulation programs can be used for electrical stimulation of tissue.

Abstract: A system may include at least one medical device and a processing system. The medical device may be configured to treat a condition by delivering a therapy to a patient. The therapy is at least partially defined using a parameter set. The processing system may be configured for use to acquire clinical effect data (CED) for the condition, acquire a medication state of medication administered to treat the condition, adjust the CED based on the medication state to provide medication-adjusted CED, and identify an adjusted parameter set for the at least one medical device to deliver the therapy based on the medication-adjusted CED. The adjusted parameter set may be communicated to a clinician (or patient or other user) as a suggestion or may be automatically implemented to update the therapy.

Abstract: A system may be used with a first neuromodulator of a first neuromodulator type and a second neuromodulator of a second neuromodulator type where the first neuromodulator is programmed with a first set of modulation parameter settings. The system may comprise an input configured for receiving the first set of modulation parameter settings for the first neuromodulator type, a processor configured to execute a programmed set of instructions to determine a second set of modulation parameter settings for the second neuromodulator type based on the first set of modulation parameter settings for the first neuromodulator type, and an output configured present the second set of modulation parameter settings for entering into a neuromodulator programmer. The neuromodulator programmer may be configured to program the second neuromodulator with the second set of modulation parameters.
