Abstract
A clinician programmer may be coupled with an implantable temporary or permanent lead in a patient. Generally, the clinician programmer may comprise a portable housing, a signal/stimulation generator, and a graphical user interface. The housing has an external surface and encloses circuitry at least partially disposed within the housing. The signal/stimulation generator may be disposed within the housing and configured to deliver test stimulation to a nerve tissue of the patient via the implantable lead. The graphical user interface at least partially comprises the external surface of the housing and has a touch screen display for direct user interaction or for use with a keyboard, mouse, or the like.
