International Classification:

A61N 1/36
A61N 1/02
A61N 1/372

Abstract:

Devices, systems, and techniques are described for adjusting therapy parameters defining electrical stimulation therapy delivered by multiple electrodes while maintaining a ratio of a value of a therapy parameter between the multiple electrodes. In one example, a device defines a relationship for multiple electrodes that defines a ratio of a value of a therapy parameter between the multiple electrodes. The device performs a master adjustment that adjusts each value of the therapy parameter for each respective electrode of the multiple electrodes by an amount specified by the relationship to maintain the ratio of the value of the therapy parameter between the multiple electrodes. The device controls delivery of electrical stimulation therapy according to the master adjustment.

International Classification:

A61N 1/36
A61N 1/02
A61N 1/05

Abstract:

Techniques are described, for medical devices that deliver electrical stimulation using current or voltage regulators having an adjustable master amplitude. One example method includes receiving, via a programmer for an electrical stimulator, user input indicating a desired electrical current amplitude, and selecting a first fraction adjustment or a second fraction adjustment, as a target adjustment for achieving the desired electrical current amplitude.
