Classification: CPC A | IPC A

Claim 11:
12. A system to treat a neurological disorder, comprising:
a medical lead having one or several electrodes configured to be located proximate to nerve tissue of a patient;
a pulse generator;
memory configured to instructions;
one or more processors that, when executing the instructions, are configured to:
cause the pulse generator to generate a burst stimulus that comprises a plurality of groups of pulses with a quiescent period between each group in the plurality of groups, wherein:
(i) each group of pulses begins and ends at a reference amplitude level,
(ii) the burst stimulus is maintained at or above an amplitude level greater than the reference amplitude level between pulses within a respective group of the plurality of pulses,
(iii) each pulse within each group is separated by an inter-pulse interval of between 0.5 to 100 milliseconds, and
(iv) each group is separated by an inter-group interval of between 5 milliseconds and 5 seconds; and
provide the burst stimulus from the pulse generator to the one or several electrodes of the medical lead.
