Abstract
A method for electrical stimulation of a patient includes a) implanting at least a portion of an electrical stimulation lead; b) stimulating the patient using the electrical stimulation lead at multiple test stimulation amplitudes; c) observing a response for each of the test stimulation amplitudes; d) selecting a working stimulation amplitude based on the responses from a group consisting of the test stimulation amplitudes and, optionally, a default stimulation amplitude; e) stimulating the patient using the electrical stimulation lead and the working amplitude at multiple test duty cycles; f) observing a response for each of the test duty cycles; g) selecting a working duty cycle based on the responses from a group consisting of the test duty cycles and, optionally, a default duty cycle; and h) stimulating the patient using the electrical stimulation lead, the working amplitude, and the working duty cycle.
