Abstract: The disclosure is directed to programming implantable stimulators to deliver stimulation energy via one or more implantable leads having complex electrode array geometries. The disclosure also contemplates guided programming to select electrode combinations and parameter values to support efficacy. The techniques may be applied to a programming interface associated with a clinician programmer, a patient programmer, or both. A user interface permits a user to view electrodes from different perspectives relative to the lead. For example, the user interface provides a side view of a lead and a cross-sectional view of the lead. The user interface may include an axial control medium to select and/or view electrodes at different axial positions along the length of a lead, and a rotational control medium to select and/or view electrodes at different angular positions around a circumference of the lead.

Abstract translation: 本公开涉及编程可植入刺激器以通过具有复杂电极阵列几何形状的一个或多个可植入引线输送刺激能量。 本公开还考虑了引导编程以选择电极组合和参数值以支持功效。 这些技术可以应用于与临床医生程序员，患者程序员或两者相关联的编程接口。 用户界面允许用户从相对于铅的不同角度来观察电极。 例如，用户界面提供引线的侧视图和引线的横截面图。 用户界面可以包括轴向控制介质，用于选择和/或查看沿引线长度的不同轴向位置处的电极;以及旋转控制介质，用于选择和/或查看围绕引线圆周的不同角位置处的电极。
