    摘要: Systems for treating a patient with a medical condition include a lead having an array of electrode contacts each being programmable to have either a first polarity or a second polarity and a programming device configured to test a multiplicity of different electrode contact polarity configurations in which a programmed polarity of one or more of the electrode contacts is varied. Methods of using an implantable stimulator system include implanting a lead having an array of programmable electrode contacts disposed thereon in communication with a stimulation site, testing a multiplicity of different electrode contact polarity configurations in which a programmed polarity of one or more of the electrode contacts is varied, selecting an optimal electrode contact polarity configuration out of the multiplicity of different electrode contact polarity configurations, and applying the stimulation current via the optimal electrode contact polarity configuration to the stimulation site in accordance with one or more stimulation parameters.

    摘要: A system for performing a neurostimulation trial comprises an external trial stimulator capable of delivering stimulation energy to a plurality of electrodes carried by one or more stimulation leads. The external trial stimulator is configurable to operate in a plurality of stimulation energy delivery modes to respectively emulate one of different neurostimulator types. The system may further comprise a programmer capable of configuring the external trial stimulator to operate in one of the stimulation energy delivery modes. The programmer may be capable of generating a first programming screen capable of allowing a first set of stimulation parameters to be defined for the first neurostimulator type, and a second programming screen capable of allowing a second set of stimulation parameters to be defined for a second neurostimulator type.
