ABSTRACT:
A method for selecting Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) stimulation parameter sets guides a clinician towards an effective set of stimulation parameters. The clinician first evaluates the effectiveness of a small number of trial stimulation parameter sets from a Measurement Table. Based on the patient's assessment, the trial stimulation sets are ranked. Then the clinician selects a starting or benchmark row in a Steering Table corresponding to the highest ranked trial stimulation parameter set. The clinician moves either up or down from the starting row, testing consecutive parameter sets. When a local optimum is found, the clinician returns to the benchmark row, and tests in the opposite direction for another local optimum. This process of searching for optimum parameter sets is repeated for a new starting row in the Steering Table that is selected based on the next ranked trial set from the Measurement Table.
