Abstract
Systems and methods which provide for and enable sensing responsive signals with respect to the application of paresthesia-free stimulation are described. Sensing signal initiators may be utilized comprising one or more non-therapeutic and/or non-tonic pulses in the form of pinging-pulses configured for invoking responsive signals suitable for measurement and/or analysis in association with the application of neural stimuli. A sensing signal initiator technique may provide an interleaved implementation to introduce one or more pinging-pulses between burst groups of a burst stimulation regimen. Additionally or alternatively, a sensing signal initiator technique may provide a postfixed implementation to introduce one or more pinging-pulses by modifying a therapeutic stimulation burst so that the last phase of the passive discharge is replaced with pinging-pulse providing an active discharge.
