Abstract
A system for programming electrical stimulation by a lead includes a processor coupled to a display. The processor presents an interface on the display with user-selectable controls to define stimulation fields and repeating stimulation patterns for delivering the stimulation fields temporally-coordinated with each other. The user-selectable controls include a field control to define the number of stimulation fields, a location control to define locations of the stimulation fields relative to the lead, a repetition control to define a repetition frequency of the stimulation patterns, and a temporal-adjustment control to define temporal adjustments of the stimulation fields. The processor also receives selections of the user-selectable controls to define the stimulation fields and the repeating stimulation patterns; and initiate a signal that provides a pulse generator with instructions that enable the pulse generator to generate the stimulation fields according to the repeating stimulation patterns using the lead coupled to the pulse generator.
