Abstract: A medical device for providing a stimulation therapy includes stimulation circuitry configured to provide a plurality of electrical pulses to be delivered to a patient. The stimulation circuitry contains a microcontroller configured to generate the electrical pulses. Each electrical pulse includes a primary phase, an interphase after the primary phase, and a recovery phase after the primary phase. Consecutive electrical pulses are separated by a standby period. The microcontroller is configured to operate in an active mode during at least one of: the primary phase and the interphase. The microcontroller is configured to operate in a power-conservation mode during a substantial majority of the standby period. The microcontroller consumes substantially less power when operating in the power-conservation mode than in the active mode.

Abstract: A method of providing stimulation therapy to a patient includes performing first and second calibration processes in first and second patient posture states, respectively. The first and second calibration processes respectively associates a sensation experienced by a patient, in the respective patient posture states, with first and second amounts of an evoked potential, respectively, and also with first and second values of a stimulation parameter to achieve the first and second amounts of evoked potential, respectively. Thereafter, a current patient posture state is detected. If the current patient posture state is detected as the first patient posture state, stimulation therapy is applied to the patient using the first value of the stimulation parameter as an initial value. If the current patient posture state is detected as the second patient posture state, stimulation therapy is applied to the patient using the second value of the stimulation parameter as the initial value.
