Abstract
A method of rapid frequency cycling during electrical stimulation according to an embodiment may include determining, by a controller of an electrical stimulation system, a plurality of frequency band groupings of discrete frequency bands of an electrical stimulation signal having a frequency range, wherein each frequency band grouping includes at least one discrete frequency band, wherein a corresponding current or voltage amplitude of the electrical stimulation signal is independently tuned within each discrete frequency band based on feedback received from a patient, determining, by the controller, a random sequence of the frequency band groupings of the plurality of frequency band groupings, generating, by at least one signal generator controlled by the controller, the electrical stimulation signal according to the determined random sequence of the frequency band groupings, and delivering the generated electrical stimulation signal through an electrode array to the patient to provide therapy to the patient.
