Abstract
An electronic programmer is used to program a pulse generator to generate electrical stimulation to be delivered to a patient via an implantable lead. The electronic programmer simultaneously displays, via an user interface, a first control mechanism and a second control mechanism that is separate and different from the first control mechanism. A first user input is received via the first control mechanism, and a second user input is received via the second control mechanism. In response to the received first user input and the second user input, the electronic programmer sends instructions to the pulse generator to cause a migration of the electrical stimulation from a first set of electrodes on the implantable lead to a second set of electrodes on the implantable lead. The first user input defines a stimulation amplitude change for the migration, and the second user input defines a direction for the migration.
